Eu, Eddie

All too often do we bio-documentaries rely on controversy or tragedy and Being Eddie is a refreshing reminder of documentary on post-peak stardom. A reminder of what a talent Murphy is, the power of change his breakthrough ushered in and the re-illumination of a star whose light is not yet burnt out.

I agree with Pete Davidson in this Eddie Murphy documentary when he says that the voice of the donkey in Shrek may be the greatest comedy performance or indeed any performance in any animated movie in history. Eddie reveals it was very draining to do because of the loud emotions & yelling, so I'd like Eddie to know that his many fans appreciate how he is ALWAYS giving the proverbial 110% on the big screen. If you're one of those fans, make sure to watch this.

I grew up listening to Raw and Delirious and (like most people my gae) love Eddie Murphy and most of his films.

This is a puff-piece but it was really nice to see Eddie is still doing well and it was so refreshing to celebrate a hollywood star who didn't selfdestruct and it was nice to hang out with him.

There is some interesting detail but I was hoping to hear more about his older films or how he thinks some of his work has aged.

A massive portion of the guts of this is taken up by race-relations and the affect Eddie had on American cinema.

This is important but hardly new and my mind started to wander.

The last twenty minutes were unwatchable as it was just Eddie hanging out with a group of people I hardly knew.

This was ok to have on in the background and I was really pleased to see Eddie doing well - but I won't be revisitng this.

This is an overview of Eddie Murphy's life and career with a combination of current and historic interviews and clips from his various works. Eddie is one of the great entertainers/artists of our time and that is pretty obvious when you see the people who see him as an inspiration or even a unicorn. Well done. Recommended.

This story shows Eddie Murphy's story well, but it doesn't go deep into the struggles he had that made him quit movies and comedy, and everything else that was on screen, but when he came back on SNL in 2019, that was a moment when he got back his old strength and since then he is back like he never left. In my opnion this whole documentary was done well.
