jeen-yuhs: La trilogie Kanye West

Extremely well told story. Now, that's a documentary mannnn .

Incredible. Insightful. Eye-opening. Both in terms of what I learned about Kanye and his thoughts, most important about God, but also how Coodie told this story and put together a documentary. This will all contribute to my story and story telling abilities.

As a fan of Kanye and someone who's favorite music album of all time is The College Dropout, I had mixed feelings about his personal antics over time and I kept wondering how much of that I would see in this documentary.

I wouldnt say much but I'd say this, with everything going on with Kanye right now in 2022, this was a solid reminder that behind all the fanfare, he is a human being grounded in humility and exceptional talent. I needed this reminder and I think everyone else needs it too.

As usual, people get so biased by their personal views of the subject that they can't perceive the merits of the presentation in its own right. Ignore the naysayers, this is an acutely edited and thoughtful documentary. 'Coodie' did a fantastic job of capturing enough candid footage to weave together a fascinating insight into the clearly troubled trajectory of an equally troubled mind. Should a person's whole life be judged on it's later stages? Of course not, the earlier Kanye, his expressions, drives and influences are as interesting as anyone elses, it's a compelling human story. The documentary itself is great at balancing the narrative, hinting at things to come, showing everyday moments that feel loaded with various nuances of significance to the overall story. People don't choose their brains or contexts, a highly judgemental attitude seems to have blinded many from appreciating the craft going on here, both with Kanye's talent and Coodie's clear skill as an excellent documentarian. I'm not into hiphop whatsoever, have never even listened to a Kanye album and couldn't quote a single lyric. But I found this essential, compelling viewing.

I am not a hip hop nor rap fan and what I've known of Kayne West was mostly from the news. This documentary shows a young man trying to fulfill his dreams and a sweet supportive mom who was inspiring him all the way through. It brought a new perspective regarding Kayne West. It is a nice documentary.

Jeen-Yus had me glued to the screen. The documentary is long but I was engaged throughout. The first two parts gave me a lot of respect for Kanye. Part three broke my heart and it was hard to watch. No matter your opinion on Kanye, this behind the scenes look into Kanye West's rise to fame is engrossing for fans and non fans alike.
