Trainwreck: Mayor of Mayhem

I think this could of been a bit more condensed, slightly dragged on near the end, I mean there was the sneak peek at the begining that this was going to be a drug problem based documentry and that was his major secret. I read some other reviews that were 1 star about how documenting about someone drug problem is not entertainment and I can agree with that. I am glad he got help, and I dont know quite what he did, politically that was bad just that his drug and drinking problem was not good and it may of not been good entering a party for the military drugged up. At least he ended up getting help and focused on himself. I like the way he campaigned for the people, helping everyone with any problem that is a good basis.

I like how they related his media criminalizing tactic like Donald Trum.p at some points.

Poor Rob wanted to impress his Dad. Sound familiar? That is not the only glaring point that rang true for his values as well as the fool in DC right now. Except for the substance abuse which, of course, the king down south is famous for being clean and dry, their approaches to politics and fame were/are quite identical. I kept looking at poor Doug's face as he accompanied his brother at the podium many times, looking at him through the lens of revisionist history, what he was thinking we will never know. Rob resembled Chris Farley at his SNL-craziest. I did not necessarily learn a lot watching this doc, but I was shocked at how his enablers let so much go, right to the end. RIP.

I was no fan of Rob as our Mayor. It was a circus our city did not deserve. But watching this documentary allowed me to see the human side of him and the tragedy that it was. Many of us are like Rob. Survivors of childhood trauma. This is the example of what happens if you don't deal with it. I feel sad for him that he had to live it out so publicly. May he rest in peace. I heard Doug say he had no intentions of watching this, but I think he should. I think this was done very fairly and balanced. And may anybody who's walking in similar footsteps to Rob Ford find a pathway to healing and treatment they so deserve.

Rob Ford is the unlikely winner of Toronto's mayoral election. It's a turbulent time; he hits the heights when a story about him smoking crack from a pipe makes the news.

It's a really interesting watch-a story that is so intriguing. Yes, it's shocking, but it's also pretty sad. He is a very flawed individual but definitely bubbling with personality and charisma.

Reading through Rob Ford's achievements, it seems as though he actually did some good things in Toronto. It's a shame that some of the positives aren't covered. You can see why people vote for individuals with personality and charisma; there's something refreshing in a way, but they are not always right for such high-powered jobs.

The media sometimes does its job very well, but so often, they fail. They really did go for their man here, and they got him. Rob seemed to be one of those people whom the public liked, but the media obviously didn't. It's a really sad end.

8/10.

I was at my Sinai hospital one day when I ran into Rob and his bodyguard. He sounded like you're really nice guy, and we both ended up striking the conversation about health and football. He did not know at the time what was wrong with him and I did not know anbput my health situation either, in the end we both ended up with a serious illness. At that moment he trusted me like a friend even though I had just met him.

Unfortunately he didn't survive while I did and I feel so sorry for him. Despite his faults i could see the fear of unknown in his eyes that day. Before he got diagnosed he did clean up his act and he did try to get better and I'm so glad he died knowing he tried his best. This documentary was very unfair and everything that is wrong with this world. In the end he was a victim of drugs, politics and disease. Something which many of us fall victim to as well and have very little chance of surviving at times . Victim blaming never solves anything.
