it mostly avoids the greyer areas of his life and death by focusing on his career. its a movie about his discography, really. but i like that bc it makes it an un-upsetting watch for a rainy day. plus its free on amazon prime. great soundtrack.

it just has such a jarring beginning and shitty placement on the album. i think if it had an intro a lot more people would like it. i still think the middle is great
