Review of The Nine Lives of Marion Barry (2009) by Debra G — 31 Oct 2011
Some movies I struggle on the rating to give, but this one I immediately gave the movie 4 stars. It is a true life story of a person that struggles with the same issues that any person on any level of life struggles with.
He had, no strike that, he has a drug problem. This documentary shows that this struggle with addiction or weakness attacks a person no matter what level you are in society. You can be Mayor or a regular worker bee.
Womanizing can attack at the highest office in this country or attack a Mayor. This movie shows that struggle. This movie shows how lying can cause a person to hurt their friends and family. The saddest part of this movie was at the end when we learned he was still using drugs and had lied to his godson.
That is true pain. That is true emotion. This is real reality TV.
