To declare in advance, the comments are based on the description of the Chicago Bulls, players and coaches in the documentary. I am not a basketball fan, so I am purely evaluating from the perspective of watching a documentary.
The Last Dance referenced in this documentary seems to come from the mouth of coach Phil Jackson, but the coach's context is more like this core player lineup and his own Last Dance, but the editing of the entire documentary has become Michael Jordan's personal Last Dance Dance, everyone else is like soy sauce. As the second person on the team, the introduction of Pippen is not as good as that of Steve Kerr, who calls himself a role player. Steve Kerr has more than half an episode about him, and about his childhood, family, and his father. But in the episode of Pippen, he asked his brother to tell his brother that Pippen took good care of his family. After that, he talked about his request for a raise. MJ also said how selfish he was. As a dynasty hero, even if he did not score any key points, he should be respected. The amount of labor he paid? Not to mention that he is the second person in the team and has only a pitiful amount of time... It can only be said that the time allocation of the entire documentary is extremely strange. I think one of them might be that Steve Kerr barely said a bad word about MJ during the interview, and Pippen clearly has reservations about MJ. Will this whole documentary beautify MJ too much? I can't help but have this question in my mind after watching it.
Since the documentary is all about MJ, the portrayal of MJ should be a little more in-depth. For example, MJ said that he did not smoke or drink in his early years, and mentioned that when he first joined the Bulls, the team members were addicted to drugs, alcohol and women. It seems that he wanted to show that he was a good boy through comparison. Why did he smoke cigars, gamble, and drink alcohol later? Although the video clips jumped in time, it can be seen that MJ started these behaviors after 90 years, which seems to reflect MJ's transition from stepping on the NBA stage to When he started to take the championship, there was a big change in the mental level. Is it because he is too stressed and needs to be distracted by other things, or is he gradually slack and slack because he has stood at the peak and no one can match him? The psychological evolution of MJ at different stages throughout his career is obviously insufficient. , wasting too much time talking about him and the people around him, talking about MJ and his bodyguards, what do you want to show? MJ is also human, and there are times when he is weak and needs someone to accompany him? It seems that the whole documentary is strategically Wanted to present some aspects of MJ and toned down others.
The last minor question is what about the other players in the team that won the three-peat that year? In addition to MJ, the core of the first three-peat was only Pippen and John Paxson interviewed, and the second three-peat was more than Pippen. Dennis Rodman and Steve Kerr. Where are the other bench role players on the team? The whole documentary feels like there are a lot of blanks left to be filled, as well as a lot of questions.
