Review and Giveaway: Glen Campbell I'll be Me

10/19/2014

0 Comments

 
Glen Campbell, well-known songwriter  and singer.   Inflicted in his older years with Alzheimer's.   Willing to let the world know of his struggles and wanting to bring greater understanding and awareness to this disease.   This video is a good memorial to this moan, remembering the good as well as the hard things in life.   Much loved by his wife and children is evidenced throughout this movie..

From the Press release:
In 2011, when Glen Campbell was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, he joined forces with his family to fight the biggest battle of his life. Glen and his wife, Kim, made history by going public with the diagnosis – the first time a major American celebrity would share this experience with the world. The Campbell family then embarked on a short “Goodbye Tour,” but the three-week engagement turned into an emotional and triumphant 151-show nationwide tour de force.  

This epic human drama about the undying bond between Glen and Kim, and their unwavering caring for each other, chronicles a story of love, resilience and the power of song.  .....

The film features those who know and love Glen, including Bruce Springsteen, Bill Clinton, The Edge, Paul McCartney, Jay Leno, Vince Gill, Jimmy Webb, Blake Shelton, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Steve Martin, Chad Smith and Taylor Swift among many others. Rare vintage footage and extraordinary new performances of Glen’s most beloved hits immerse this moving cinematic account in the overwhelming talent of this humble family man. With joy and a tireless sense of humor, Glen and his family live each moment in the present while preparing for the future, .....
My Review:
I watched this movie this afternoon.   It's a decent show that shows the joys and the struggles of living with a person with Alzheimer's.   I don't know that I would pay to see it in the theatre, but for viewing at home or at a private venue with others, I would not be disappointed.    They did an excellent job of providing balance, they showed the good things.. like really does it matter if Glen wants to play a song twice?    Does it matter if he doesn't always remember things?    They also talked about the hard things...like getting fixated on something so much so he could harm himself, and getting confused about door bells and elevator buttons, struggles with anger and confusion.   Through it all though, you see the love that is shown to Glen by his wife and family, and the love he shows back to them.    Humour is evident throughout.

This movie mde me more aware of the struggles people face everyday with loved ones failing in their memory and capabilities.   It's a hard road.

Anyways,.. I have a giveaway for you.   It is for a 5 song EP soundtrack from the film.   It's just the soundtrack, not the movie.
