The Trouble with KanYe

This is a typical BBC hit piece for the viewing pleasure of the metropolitan elite. Whatever the "current thing", "the current narrative" the BBC always rolls with it.

As recently as 10 years ago the BBC were actually impartial -they weren't perfect but perfect impartiality is impossible.

The BBC used to undertake investigative journalism which challenged the establishment when required. Now it just blurts out the narrative the establishment tells it to as shown here.

Even the title of the documentary irritates me. "The trouble...". Okay so Kanye is a problem before we even start watching.

The journalist is beyond insipid, predictable and boring. There is nothing challenging here. It is more about the journalist himself and his poor little "feelings" than it is about Kanye West. Love him. Hate him. Be indifferent to him. It doesn't matter. You'll learn nothing new here apart from the usual turgid criticisms we've heard countless times before.

We need people like Kanye West. Not because I like him. But just to disrupt the path of " you must all follow these ideas or you are an awful person who should be cancelled".

I heard West interviewed. He was so right when he said there are teams of people telling you what to be afraid of. To not say or do the wrong thing.

The elites claim to want diversity. Yes. The brand of diversity where it doesn't matter what your identity is, race, sexuality etc as long as we all think the same way. Which is the opposite of diversity. And oh boy, we are suffocated by that narrative in this documentary!

The program dramatically end with white on black type saying they received no response from Kanye. So what?!

I disagree with the journalist. Kanye has no questions to answer! It's up to Kanye. He's not on trial. Mind your own business!

As a leftist, anti-racist, feminist kind of person, I fully encourage any talented documentarian to show us an unbiased, measured overview of Ye's descent from well-liked, talented musician into crazed, uninformed, fascist lunacy - but this is not it. 'The Trouble with KanYe' features many of the issues the documentary genre has fallen prey to in the past decade or so - such as an obnoxiously narcissistic journalist in the main role, clearly orchestrated interview setups, suggestive montage tricks, and a whole lot of leading questions, with the filmmaker pushing a narrative during interviews that was not always necessarily on the table. How this empty husk of an 'exposé' got financed and distributed by the BBC - an institution I used to cherish for its quality programming in my youth - just goes to show how much of its integrity has gone down the drain.

This was not educational and I am struggling to understand the intention of the documentary. Was it to convince us that Kanye is mentally ill and needed to take medication or about antisemitism?

Something about the hosts deliverance came across cartoonish, condescending and amateurish, only my opinion. Maybe the documentary was rushed and why the messaging wasn't clear. I sensed a clear agenda to defame Kanye and possibly the reason the interviews lacked depth. I am surprised at the quality of the documentary, so please lower your expectation when watching this. It missed the mark and I hoped for better.

The docu maker loves to see himself in the screen. Half of the movie you see his face and its about the fears and thoughts of the maker. I think it the movie misses his purposes.

Narcisistic documentary maker who you get to see the whole movie is not at all what i was expecting to see.

There is little context, ofcourse you get no word of Kanye himself and the maker of the film seems not able to find any good and knowledgable people who could ectually inform you in any usefull way.

I find it again as lots of movies now a film based on the movie maker himself and how he feels sad and scared in the world as it is, in one word: Bad.
