Rudi Dolezal: HBO DOC: "WHITNEY: CAN I BE ME? "

Nothing big to note. Watched the film last night. ..it was enjoyable as far as biographies go..m.and of course it turned a bit sad and distressing. However it was informative.

Credibility is make or break on viewer ship.

Particularly regarding one of the biggest primary sources: the old bodyguard.

Some insightful stuff, and some surprising hair raising moments for me.


Also Rudi at the 52 minute mark. I'm guessing he'd been one of the original documentarians....for a seemingly scrapped tour documentary that shows some incredibly candid moments.

Some shots seemed impractical. ..like how would someone get authorization to film Whitney looking distressed and forlorn immediately after a performance. I'd have said GET THAT FUCKING CAMERA AWAY FROM MY FACE. ..hell she was even changing.

Anyways. ..he's listed as a co producer i think. Only mentioned for his torpedo twins connection

The Torpedo Twins are horrendous at editing. Not sure if the documentary had some of that cheesy DoRo trademark of tacky mash-ups.

Actually. I think Rudi's involvement came from a 99' tour documentary that was most likely scrapped. It was likely them filming most of the primary material here. I think his involvement is as a source of material. It was put together by others. I'm not privy to that right now but it's not bad at all.....*(except for the very grim result)
