Ego, dog petting, but no theory
adverts29 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Woefully short on information and when some of Bloom's theories are presented they are presented again and again and again. The film shows him petting dog after dog on the street as if he has some special connection with them (a meeting with a dog changed his life as a youngster). Does he own and/or care for a dog? Of course not. The most interesting part is his former life in the music industry, which made me think "there's something special (in a good way) about this guy". Unfortunately, that really doesn't come across. There's a fair amount of ego, some silly ideas (a few interesting ones) and not much else. I wonder if his personality changed over the years - especially after his 15 year bed confined illness(!). The documentary is well enough made to keep your attention for it's 64 minutes, but if it were any longer I would have turned it off.
