I Am Heath Ledger is a deeply intimate look at the late actor, but fails to ask important questions about the man behind the mask.
There is a magic in entertaining people. In life, people suffer from a number of misfortunes often caused by the actions of other humans. Personally, I don’t like the suffering of others.
Initially, it seems that I Am Evel Knievel competently weaves archival footage with a range of talking heads. However, the documentary goes to great lengths to embellish a very unlikeable man and omits some of his life’s failings, making it an inferior production to the BBC’s Richard Hammond Meets Evel Knievel, which also has the advantage of featuring the man himself shortly before he died on November 30th 2007. During the 1970s, Evel Knievel was one of the most famous names in America and the world.
