It's awful he was killed so young

but tbh I don't think he did enough in his life to warrent a film for a worldwide audience idk this probably makes me a bad person

I feel like these days we are starting to over idolize the lives of people who die young

I think he did honestly. He had been acting since he was a child so he was in the industry for awhile. Everybody who worked with him said he was incredible and sweet. His death was so unique and unexpected that nobody got closure. This feels like a fitting way to give them that peace.

I can agree with the below point but him being sweet and all that doesn't make him special. I do agree with his death being a fluke and though i don't really care about the fans. If its the parents wishes then I respect that.

his parents wanted to make a documentary about him to help with their grief

OKay I can understand that

[xtinkerbellax]

I don't think he's really been put in an "idolizing" position.

[shatteredglass]

People will glamorize anything even if you notice it or not

[xtinkerbellax]

Where are you noticing it?

[shatteredglass]

The fact of the matter of his death people feel more involved then usual its an everyday thing we use constantly that is suppose to be safe so are fears are projected 10x more onto the issue. It's not so much idolization as curiosity/borderline obsession and fear of not wanting it to happen to them so I guess its not really idolization.

documentaries are made about literally anyone and anything?

[bellwetherr]

so glad you're the person we should all go to see if we're done enough to warrant something special made for us!

[shatteredglass]

so glad we live in a place called ammmuricaaa we we can have opinions

is it? I thought this was amurica is it amurica?

[bellwetherr]

tying out amurica so many times certainly isn't going to make me have less opinions about you

[shatteredglass]

wosh

[hpxstac]

I agree with everything folks said in the replies to your comment. Also, "starting to idolize the lives of people who die young"? That's literally always been the case lol. (See: everyone from Tutankhamen to River Phoenix.)

No ur right we def have over centuries there is no right or wrong answer imo

I respect his parents wishes and truly hope it gives them closure my opinion means nothing its just what it is my opinion
