I just watched the documentary ‘Val’ and wow it was good (and no I didn’t just get a 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime just so I could watch that and Tombstone). I had heard good things about it, but wasn’t 100% sure what to expect going in, but I really did like it.
Oooh.. I'm super glad people love Val's documentary! It's so beautiful, heartwarming, will make you cry..
It resonated with many people because it's brutally honest.. Brilliantly swings between happy real and extraordinary times, and tragic moments that will make a grown man cry.
I'm so happy Val agreed to digitize his record vault and showed the world how innocent, funny and amazing he is.. It made people see who he is from his and other people's perspective for the first time. Revealed part of his enigmatic public persona and showed raw parts of him as a great actor and human being.
It gave people with similar experiences with the terrible C and other struggles a big public figure to inspire them.. And I've talked to a few of them.
I can talk all day about it. I'm heartwarmed with the new Renaissance and love that surround him.. I hope it's forever. He said he receives hundreds of fan mail every day and it's overwhelming, the love and support.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us me. I hope u go down the rabbit hole like many people and make use of that subscription (that totally didn't happen) and watch the rest of his rich and incredible filmography.. Maybe even read his book I'm your huckleberry! It's worth it!
