Full disclosure: I am an Okie who lived in Stillwater shortly after Garth and Sandy were there and later lived down the road from them in Claremore. I am not a country music fan, but all his songs are familiar to me. This two-part four-hour documentary is mostly Garth talking to the camera directly at the questioner and/or the viewer. The photography and editing are excellent, and Garth's retelling of his life story makes it worth the length. This really is the story of his mother and his family. As Garth says, "Inside, I am my mother."
The best part is Brooks repeating the philosophy of life imparted by his father and the genuine human being that deals with his fellow musicians and managers. It is clear that when Garth picks up a guitar and steps up to a mike, he is all about the fans. He loves them as much as they love him, and he appreciates what he has achieved. But the overall importance of family--especially his three daughters--is the cornerstone of his life. This was true to the point where he retired from the music business to spend time with them. The dynamics of the first wife, the second wife, the kids, and the older generation are a lesson in living. Nothing about his marital problems or his mother's difficulties is glossed over or lingered on longer than necessary. Even the Chris Gaines episode is explored.
This is an open, honest look at a landmark musician and a good man.
I know performers are egomaniacs by nature, but this guy takes it to a completely different level. Every word and scene of this "documentary" is contrived and designed to make him look like some kind of god and it achieves the exact opposite effect. His phony, over emotional interviews are just creepy. He whispers as if every single word he utters is wringing all the emotion from him, and he cries at the drop of a hat. The whole thing is sad and pathetic. I used to LOVE his music but I just can't recommend this. I lost a lot of respect for him after seeing this.
Good documentary about Garth Brooks I was just sad he never addressed where the bodies are buried. Give the family's some closure garth for Christ's sake, show some sympathy.
Wow, Garth is an emotional wreck. Every scene the dude is bawling his eyes out. I'm giving it 5 stars because it's quite comical. Wish there was less talking and more singing. No doubt he has one of the most beautiful voices.
