Amazing detail documentary
An amazing and detailed documentary about jordan, one of the best and greatest athletes ever, not just a basketball player.
Considering a total of just over 8 hours, his entire career has been shown through numerous unpublished recordings, interviews and photographs. Although the title the last dance represents his last season in a Chicago bulls jersey, the documentary touched on literally everything in his career. I think that a lot of effort has been invested in building a project like this. Just collecting and restoring old shots seems like an eternity. I especially liked that this is not a typical documentary with a linear plot because every bit of the plot goes back in time when it is related to the appropriate story or person. The documentary is further enriched with many people from Jordan's private and sports life, so we can see some events from multiple perspectives, there is his family, his teammates, but also rivals, opponents and people who are totally unknown to the public, but are always were with him. Although i knew most of the things from his sports life and how games ended, when he dropped out, when he won the title, how and against whom, i still felt a certain tension and excitement because of the way the documentary showed everything and some minor things which i didn't know, but all together it's great connected so we have depth of the overall story and career. From my perspective Jordan has always been big and untouchable. The bulls were the best team and Jordan their best player. The fact that Toni Kukoc, as a Croat from Split, was an important wheel of that machine, certainly helped. This is where i see the only complaint with the whole project. Many players got a bigger stage light in the documentary (probably because they're Americans so they're more interesting) than they objectively deserved with their games from Kukoc who was the third Bulls player in importance and statistically. But I don't want to talk about it now even though i could really do a lot about Kukoc, but that's for some other, sporting discussion.
Definitely a recommendation for all fans of sports, basketball, and i believe for those who are not so interested in sports. I've watched these ten episodes in three days, and i'd have watched it before had i had more time because it's really great done from a film perspective.
