Immediate and not so original musings after finishing this doc. Chasing approval whether laughs, compliments, physical touch, or d all of the above, brings temporary fulfillment. Needing external reactions to satiate internal discomforts leads to a constant chase keeping you stuck in the rat race of life.
CLEARLY THIS BITCH ATE AN EDIBLE BEFORE!!
Whatever. This documentary was brilliantly pieced together with Robin telling us his story through old interviews. We get to know a few other sides of him but the most important thing we learn - at least in my 700 followers (ayyy) opinion - is that he did not kill himself out of depression or mania. He had Lewy Body Dementia which is an aggressive and unapologetic form of Dimentia. For a brilliant thinker and performer, he suddenly and quickly lost his ability to use his mind.
We hear from the people he inspired and at the end of it, feel incredibly proud to have known about his work.
I know you’ll watch this so you’re welcome!
