I have watched many music documentaries recently attended a tired template to introduce their artists, crowds, defeats, and achievements. This can repeat and very monotonous when you know what will happen next.
Mary J Blige is my life revealed in the same way but has the same personal, raw and emotional touch as its 1994 album. There is something about how the film Making Vanessa Roth builds the story of the artist who only makes my appetite.
Blige 19 years old when his debut album, what 411, placed it on the map.
In addition to building himself as a strong vocalist combining R & B with hip-hop in the landscape dominated by men, he votes for young black women in America because he is them.
Outside the music, Blige becomes a design icon that wears it looks that it’s unique and authentic, catching its roots.

“I have 13 albums, but the second, my life, is the most important,” he said in the original Amazon documentary. Which celebrated the lasting heritage from his second album. With this note, he forever strengthens his image as a singer – a songwriter.
Whose music is always full of melancholy lyrics and honesty that can only manifest from life experiences. In this document, Blige once again put all the cards on the table, occasionally holding back the tears.
Sometimes let everything come out.
He tells the turbulence of his formation in the Yonkers New York housing project. Heard and witnessed several examples of domestic violence, and his big dream of becoming a singer one day.
As the transition doc to adulthood, Blie talked about experiencing self-doubt. Dealing with a quick transition in his life with alcohol and drug. Being in a turbulent relationship with K-Ci from Jodeci’s fame, depression, and suicidal thinking. Finally, he decided to write down all the emotions into the songs that were part of my life.
The people who held his hand through the making of my life, and his life. From the producer Sean Comb aka P Diddy to Atthard Records Executive Andre Harrell. Blige dedicated a gap with interviews with their interviews.

Actor Taraji P Henson and Alicia singer Key talked. From a fan perspective, explaining how Blige’s music and public personalities assured them that they were not visible at all. “He gave us a face, he gave us a name, he gave us a story, heothered us,” Henson said.
Adding this testimony was footage of a Blige meeting with fans:
Which with the admiration of Starry’s eyes, told him how the music saved them. I know with your own experience that music can be a drug in challenging times. And bringing freedom when you are trapped in limbo. However, for Blige, unshakable faith in fans who devoted to hugging him together.
Docu displays direct renditions and record sessions from the song from the 1994 album. The presence of Blie fills the screen. If you turn on the volume, it’s almost like experiencing performance in your room. He entirely lost the Self-doubt he had experienced in his career wisdom.
Blige has the strength and self-confidence that his fans, including me, want to imitate. Personal interview, intercut with 2D animation recreation from Blige as a child, and then as an adult, maintain crispy narratives. The doc is roughly divided into several chapters, each titled with the lyrics of the song.
Blige also gathered with producer Chucky Thompson and Collaborator Big Big, met which made it emotional. They collected together in the studio, and how the process brought catharsis to them all.
