AVICII - True Stories

Documentary shows you that sometimes fame and working on entertaining people may have a negative effect on person especially at young age

It has been a while since I saw this documentary, so some things might not be completely correct. I will give it a go anyway.

What makes this documentary so great, is that it really captures all important moments of his career, from the very beginning to almost the very end. It is not focussed on Avicii's music, but rather on his mind and the people around him. You see how the people he spends the most time with, are trying to exploit him for personal gain and Tim not being able to tell them no. Now please don't get the wrong idea when I say this, but the fact that this documentary has been released before Tim's death, makes it that much more powerfull. It has not been made with the specific purpose of trying to show why Tim has ended his own life, but rather to show how tough his life IS as an artist and him taking his own life after the release of this documentary only makes this statement that much more powerfull. Yet again, I say this with the outmost respect and in no way mean anything bad by it. After seeing this film, I feel like I got to know Tim. I encourage anyone to see this, as it truly captures some of his highest highs and lowest lows of a persons life!

Even if your not familiar with dance music or don't like "Ibiza"-sounds (I hate the sound), this docu is worth the watch. It's an as honest possible film about the drama of being the biggest superstar in a certain music scene, you have to do your thing... It's difficult writing a review for this docu without spoiling, but I promise you, there's a real life drama story behind it that unfolds. This ain't just a music docu, it's a drama docu about a human being influenced by his surroundings. I watched the movie just before the tragic news a few days ago, and those who wanna know why, well I think this docu gives a good hint what happened on that vacation in the resort.

Having loved and idolized Tim for nearly 8 years and seeing him live, i really didn't know what he was going through. Shows what he had to go through with growing into a huge icon and the downsides of touring 24/7. This film has really made me understand why Tim has retired from live shows as doing over 850 shows in the space of 9 years is incredible. I highly recommend this film to any avicii fan or any music fans as it really does show what was happening behind the scenes of his personal life. I even took my mum (whom is at the age of 50, and doesn't mind tims music) she enjoyed it. I really do hope this comes out on DVD, this needs to be seen and is a lesson in life in my opinion.

This documentary is a warning example to everyone who works with music and shows the non glamorous side of being a famous artist and how cold and brutal the music industry can be. Tim, an insecure, naive and introvert young guy who really didn't liked to be in the center of attention, had to fight against his anxiety night after night and pushed himself so hard that it eventually destroyed him. Add free alcohol, sleep deprivation and bad people around you, and you're in for a disaster to come.

I hope this documentary will help people to wake up and realize what's important in the music industry and that some people have to say stop when people are pushed too hard.
