Omg him being in his underwear whilst being interviewed drove me absolutely crazy! I was going to write that in my last comment but then decided I didn’t want to be too negative on here. The scenes with his eldest daughter where he told her to come in and ‘spoon’ him whilst he was being interviewed on camera and lying in his bed showed just how emotionally stunted and how over-indulged he is.
Given the lack of any mention of his parents one can’t help surmise that he probably didn’t have a great childhood and now has chosen a wife that basically cares for him in a very motherly way. Robbie obviously is the bread winner for the family but she would be doing all the emotional and heavy lifting in raising the children and caring for him at the same time.
I’ve watched it all now too and completely agree with your assessment emori.
The vintage footage was impressively wound into the narrative and it was very cohesively done.
It does give one a good glimpse into the complex life of R.W. - thorns and all.
Whilst I don’t think this doco was as well done as the Beckham or even the Arnold one, I did come away with a much better understanding of him and his career.
I do agree with O.P’s original comment though that it’s very odd that his parents and sibling don’t get even a single mention. It seems especially odd given how much we do see his wife and children peppered throughout all 4 of the episodes.
I was 10 mins in of the first episode and felt like the format of this doco is all wrong, so came on here to see if there was any love for it? After reading your post, pepetoony, it already makes sense that this is just going to be 4 episodes of P.R spin- all part of an expensive campaign design toward a career resurgence.
I am already hating how he’s commenting on himself so not sure I can stick this one out?
Whilst I love seeing all the vintage ‘Take That’ footage and getting glimpses of such a privileged persons lifestyle, I think I am going to find it hard to muster up any empathy when the subject in question is such an incredibly spoiled and over-indulged narcissist.
So true!
I kept checking IMDB for months trying to find details of the Season 3 release date.
Not sure if the lack of promotion was because of the SAG/AFTRA strike or not but they definitely deserve better promo on Amazon Prime.
I love this show.
I feel like where it shines are in all the ‘online/upload= good time/fantasy’ scenes but understand whilst I don’t enjoy the ‘real-life=hard work/ downer’ scenes as much, I realise that’s pretty much the whole point of this show.
I hope we get a Season 4 but I do worry not enough people are watching.
Glad to see there’s some love here for it!
I have only just commenced episode 1 and I literally got 18 mins in and turned it off to come onto Movie Chat to see if anyone else had commented / noticed how slow the dialogue of this show is?
It feels stilted and very awkward.
I’ll continue on eventually but I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed it.
Fair enough point.
At the moment I'm guessing that the Maria Hill that we have seen is a Skrull and that's why the conversations she's had w Fury have been kind of awkward / negative and lacking in any real details of plans for what is occurring. I'm sure he knows and has been limiting his information etc.
Guess we just have to wait whilst they drip feed us the 6 episodes.
Hmmm, perhaps it's because so far this is more espionage stuff rather than an outright display of power or a physical battle that's occurring?
The Avengers would all be too famous and recognisable for what needs to be uncovered?
After one episode I still haven't quite worked out where this all fits in the timeline so perhaps we'll find out the answer to your question as we go further along?
Completely agree about the movie being nothing like the trailer.
It’s quite bewildering to me that they misrepresented the film in such a manner.
I too didn’t love this movie and agree it was dull and plodding, particularly Tilda Swanston's character (and I normally love anything she does) BUT the exotic visuals and fantasy elements of this movie have stayed with me for many, many days after.
Worth seeing that alone but I am kind of happy I saw this on a streaming platform and not at the cinema.
I think this plot line sounds great. I would have loved to see it and I would have especially loved seeing Hemsworth and Pine on the screen together as Father and Son.
Shame it never happened.
