Before seeing this documentary all I knew about Ronaldo is that he is attractive, dates models and likes to take his shirt off. However after watching this documentary I learned that there is a lot more to him than the flashy side we often see. First off Ronaldo grew up dirt poor in a small island off the coast of Portugal. He was so poor that he often missed meals. The only thing that got him through was a soccer ball, which he brought with him everywhere he went. Also I learned that he has a huge heart. He tries to give back to his hometown and is known to pay for surgeries of children suffering from cancer. All and all I learned that there is more Ronaldo than meets the eye.
Up in Northern California there is the Ananda Community. It is community that practices sustainability and kindness and looks at these attributes as being the key to prolonged happiness. This of course runs counter to our western capitalistic ideals that teach that material things and success equate happiness. The film follows a fictionalized reporter who travels to Ananda community at the behest of her editor. At first she is dismissive, but as she learns more about their practices she becomes open to their way of life (even trying yoga for the first time!) The end result is a changed perspective that we can leave a more benevolent and synergistic lifestyle. The movie's message left me feeling inspired!
Justin Timberlake is one of the most interesting performers out there. He can go between music and acting with ease and his music keeps evolving as he gets older. I've always loved Justin so it was with anticipation that I watched "JT:Reflections" and I learned a lot about him. The documentary follows him from his starry-eyed roots in Memphis TN, to the Mickey Mouse Club than to N'Sync Superstardom then finally to his mega-star status. Throughout industry insiders are interviewed and they give their 2 cents on why Justin is the amazing entertainer he is! This music doc is perfect not only for Justin fans, but for fans of Pop music as well! A perfect music documentary!
