I grab my movie snacks and nice cold soda to watch Glen Campbell’s I’ll Be Me. First things first. Did I enjoy the Glen Campbell I’ll Be Me movie documentary? Yes! Here are my thoughts and comments on the movie.
This documentary, start off with the Rhinestone Cowboy, Glen Campbell and his wife watching clips from past shows, interviews, etc. and then going to doctor’s office for a check-up and also having test done for his Alzheimer’s. It follows him on his goodbye tour singing, and having a blast, but you also get to see him in moments when his memory is not there anymore.
All the songs played in the documentary are great! You meet his wife, kids, family, and friends, who share their thoughts and feelings. A number of musicians and others in the industry share memories about Glen Campbell. Also, briefly touching on the subject his drinking back in the day.
This movie will make you smile, laugh, and even shed a few tears. It is an awesome documentary that you must go and see when it comes out in theaters on October 24, 2014. This is Glen Campbell sharing his journey with Alzheimer’s and his goodbye tour. The song at the end “I’m Not Gonna Miss You”, well it may just make your eyes water.
About the movie…
In 2011, when Glen Campbell was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, he joined forces with his family to fight the biggest battle of his life. Glen and his wife, Kim, made history by going public with the diagnosis – the first time a major American celebrity would share this experience with the world. The Campbell family then embarked on a short “Goodbye Tour,” but the three-week engagement turned into an emotional and triumphant 151-show nationwide tour de force.
This epic human drama about the undying bond between Glen and Kim, and their unwavering caring for each other, chronicles a story of love, resilience and the power of song.
GLEN CAMPBELL…I’LL BE ME is the true tale of how America’s greatest country star would not give up his music or his family, against all odds.
The film features those who know and love Glen, including Bruce Springsteen, Bill Clinton, The Edge, Paul McCartney, Jay Leno, Vince Gill, Jimmy Webb, Blake Shelton, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Steve Martin, Chad Smith and Taylor Swift among many others. Rare vintage footage and extraordinary new performances of Glen’s most beloved hits immerse this moving cinematic account in the overwhelming talent of this humble family man. With joy and a tireless sense of humor, Glen and his family live each moment in the present while preparing for the future, all while playing their music to sold out venues on a star spangled voyage spanning the country from Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl.
