Pamela: A Love Story

Growing up watching baywatch, I've always loved Pamela, I wanted to be her like most girls did , watching this documentary she comes across as funny and so down to earth, her boys are are credit to her, she is a strong woman just wanting that fairytale, and my god I hope she gets it, it's also very refreshing to see a woman on tv without a bit of makeup on, not that she needs it for she is truly beautiful, how she was treated when her sex tape came out was horrific, she was portrayed as a slut, I hope whoever stole it and the people that released it watch this and are fully ashamed of themselves.

At first I wondered why is this called "A love story", but once I watched, I understood. Her story is so raw, but also romantic. Pamela is such a sweet hearted woman, despite everything she has been through. She is clearly such a good Mother who would do anything for her kids. You watch this and love just pours at you from the screen. Every word she says. She's not bitter, she could be, most people would, but she's just kind. She's goofy, her smile lights you up inside. This is a love story about all the love Pamela Anderson has given and continues to give everyone in her life. It's a shame that she was exploited so much for so many years and even to this day. I am so glad this documentary was done so tastefully. It was truly poetic. Worth watching for certain. Pamela Anderson is just a lovable soul. She's timeless, too. Before watching this, I aspired to have her beauty. But now I aspire to have her childlike optimism and her kind heart. By the time you finish this documentary you'll be in love with this amazing woman.

Please watch this. Finally we get to see the woman behind the image.

Firstly, she's a sweetheart. Thoughtful, with a wicked dark sense of humor, completely aware of her own flaws. She's also deeply hurt how she was played and portrayed due to that awful sex tape affair that well, still is impacting her live today, through no fault of her own. There was no #metoo yet, she got mauled by the machinery yet came out on the other end to tell the tale.

I love how she's a woman of today, taking responsibility of the mess but at the same time working what she's got to the fullest. Her search of true love is endearing, her embracing aging refreshing (I'd love to see Jlo shoot a doc without make up). The very loving relationship with her sons shows you who she really is.

I'd also like to remark how unbelievably beautiful and photogenic she was. I think as a society we could not look past that, we kind of did not allow her ever to really be anything else then something of a silicon doll, which, in view how she wrapped the audience around her finger in the musical Chicago, is a total waste.

In any case, as a fellow Canadian I was happy to see that she's okay. Happy, still searching for love, but happy.

I'm not a fan of Pamela or Tommy. In fact, I pretty much hate celebrities, in general. Just because a person can "play a musical instrument" or "pretend for a living" shouldn't automatically give them the high power status that it now does in our society. With that said, I think this movie does a wonderful job of showing the true characters of Pam & Tommy. Their core values are solid and if you can ignore their celebrity occupations (and the glitter that surrounds that) then you can really see how loving and true they are as human beings. If I were their sons, then there is nothing that I would be ashamed about as having Pam & Tommy as my parents.

Pam's mistakes are that she keeps looking for a happy marriage (REPEAT: she is NOT a bad adult and NOT a bad mother). That message of her strength and core value is clear in this movie and listening to this stripped down "the real Pam" version makes the viewers want her to someday find the love and happiness that she so badly is looking for whether it be forever alone or with someone else.

I rarely like documentaries about famous people because it almost always seems like this big ego thing. I promised myself just five minutes of this documentary to see what Pamela looks like now. I'm a middle aged woman, I grew up with this famous lady and we believed what the media told us. Back then we did. Not now anymore. We're older and wiser. I guess And today at the start of the documentary I was expecting to see something entirely different than what I got. And this truly amazing portrait of Pamela, this honest and sweet woman, mesmerized me. I'm so glad this was made for us to see. Pamela, what a truly remarkable human being you are. Xox.
