Britney Vs Spears

Thanks Netflix! I hope with this, more ppl can see a bit of what happened and stand up to end this injustice. This is immoral to treat someone like this. #arrestjamiemovement ! Arrest that mo'"$#/ FKR. Enough is enough.

This is a documentary made beyond the dictatorial control of Jaime Spears' grimy paws.

It is fundamentally not a documentary about Britney, but about the issues that led up to the conservatorship and behind the scene manoeuvrings and her failed attempts to free herself.

Understandably we do not hear from any of her family members nor anyone from the conservators camp except for snippets from old edits. Who we hear from in direct interviews are mainly the pro-Britney side, and a few non-commital individuals linked to her situation. While this is understandable, it also renders the documentary partial and not a proper tell-all.

Substantial portions of court related documents are also shown or read out verbatim which is revealing, incredulous and lends credibility.

I'm no particular fan of Britney nor her music, but what obviously comes across is a troubled woman both strong and also vulnerable, desperate and trapped yet untiring in her attempts and resourcefulness to gain herself a meaningful life.

It does give me new respect for Britney. Go girl!

In this documentary, despite the fact that there are no testimonies of who is being talked about, it manages to delve into how it happened.

It gives details that I did not know and had no idea, it informs us about the latest updates of the case and makes you want to follow the whole thing closely, and it does not do it as if it were gossip, it does so that people know certain points of reality that we can get to know. I feel that some testimonies are needed but because of the delicacy and because the case is very recent, it is understood.

Some explanations of several years are missing where there is no information, but it correctly exposes the whole case.

Nobody listens or cares when these type of vampire conservatorships swallow an unknown person, an elderly person, a child alive. But hopefully this will open peoples eyes, and maybe it having happened to someone famous and rich will make them want to see change in this type of legal process.

I can understand in the beginning, when she went off her rocker years ago that her family did this, but maybe for 1 or 2 years. Not indefinitely, her Dad is a Greedy con-man and so are all the other people he involved in this Scam against his daughter.

You know what, If she wants to blow all her money out her A**, then let her, SHE EARNED EVERY PENNY OF IT!! At most they should have maybe secured 10% of her earnings if she proved to be mentally unstable, to ensure her children would be financially cared for in the future, but the rest of the money, belongs to HER!!

I wouldn't trade lives with her, that's for sure. :O.

The documentary Britney vs. Spears is definitely in Britney's defense thus, perhaps, not equally objective. The viewer isn't at all sure what actual events may have led to such an extreme decade and a half conservatorship of Britney Spears. It is vaguely implied she was not competent mentally...though what exactly was the diagnosis and/or reasons for her situation?

What seems at root is her father was very worried about financial things over a caring and healthy relationship with his daughter. He basically made her his livlihood by indenturing her. When you can work your rear-end off in a very demanding job but you have to receive permission to go out for a hamburger I'd say it obvious something very insidiously wrong is going on here.

If I had to guess if she is released from her conservatorship she will thrive. It's questionable if she will ever have any further relationship with her father after hearing her tell a judge he should be jailed. So this is a sad story, yet it has the feel of a survivor's tale that may still be uplifting. For Britany to go through so much she seems much sturdier than the press has painted her. This is quite the interesting story which often stretches one's belief it has taken so long to potentially right.
