Avicii: Meu Nome é Tim

So firstly, a great documentary. It started off great and he really did come across as a nice guy, and we all know at least one or two of his songs. However,

we know most of that already and this would have been a great opportunity to explain to the audience more of his struggles, how bad were the drugs and drinking what friends were not the right type around him, why did the manager leave and not speak to Tim was it over money and lack of loyalty.

Lastly, although personal but if your doing a documentary we just needed a better understanding of such an early death how bad it really was or was this not explained due to the guilt of the people around him who never done enough.

I just finished watching the documentary 'Avicii: I'm Tim', and it struck me deeply. As someone who has spent her entire life coming to terms with the reality that I'll always live with anxiety, I felt so connected to his experiences. It's a lonely journey when your mind is constantly in overdrive - questioning everything and rarely finding peace.

As a society, we must do better. We need to actively work toward destigmatising mental health struggles and creating spaces where people feel supported and understood, not shamed, for seeking help.

This quote from the documentary shook me because it mirrored so much of what I feel:

"But my dream would be to be completely, completely at ease and completely happy with what I've got already, and not really have any aspirations to do a billion other things. I just want to be free from all the ideas of a life. The thing that has kept me from living life has been that exact thing: having an idea of what life should be and what should make me happy.

Nothing has turned out to be true. But I want to learn how to be content. That would be life for me. Being content."

These words hit home in a way I can't fully describe. So often, we're trapped in this endless pursuit of what we think life is supposed to be, only to realise that the pressure to chase a perfect life - one that doesn't even exist - leaves us feeling more lost than ever.

We need to do better. Let's talk about this more. Let's remind each other that we're not alone.

This documentary showcases his most iconic tracks. It reached out, grabbed my heart and left me with a lump in my throat. Heartbreaking.

A beautiful tribute, and I'm glad they documented part of his life (one cannot capture everything). To be "successful" carries so much weight, one never knows how heavy it is on the heart and the burden it brings to the soul.

There are those who keep the status quo and give audiences what they are used to, and that's ok. Then there is the rarity, like Tim, who will give what the audiences expect but will then slowly educate and open their musical minds and tastes to new sounds. He was a true creative, one who goes beyond their comfort zone to break through EDM's borders by mixing different styles. A true artist.

My only glaring observation is this documentary didn't go deep enough. It needed more exploration, more explanation and just more..... It never really climaxed and we're not learning anything new here that wasn't already known through the internet; Really disappointed to be honest. It did nothing for me.

It did a good job, however of documenting Tim's climb, but not so much his downfall, making the documentary a bit one sided. Maybe I was just expecting something more comprehensive? I'm not sure what they were trying to achieve with making this documentary. Was it just an intention to only shed light on his music career and portray him in that light? That's what it seems like to me.

As a Fan of Electronic music especially Progressive House this Doc is a real treat. From an amateur kid from Sweden making house music on FL studio to an international star EDM producer/DJ making the world go Dance. It shows the good times and the bad times...The evolution of his music is remarkable from House to including country influence to his signature tunes. His studio sessions as a producer is so fascinating to watch. Fame and the EDM Life unfortunately took its toll on Tim. The happiness we see in the beginning became a curse in the end. From a Fan's perspective I see this Film as a celebration of his Life and his music.
