I absolutely love Frank Sinatra, so watching a documentary about his life is the lame kind of stuff I enjoy doing. I knew he had gotten into some rough points, but hearing about his childhood early on and learning who he was as a person, how he came to be a singer, it's all very fascinating.
I truly believe Frank started out in the right place, the right love for his first wife, the right drive in the music industry. However, as most celebrity tales go, the fame really got to him. It's obvious as he got older how the industry began to change, that he really began to struggle in the different genres and where the music was headed.
But to the end, to the very end that man was full of talent. He could sing so absolutely well and he worked so hard to train his voice and learn music to get to that point in his life. Although the fame may have taken away some better aspects of his personality, he was still a good person deep down. He loved his kids, he loved his music, and he enjoyed his fans.
Overall, I would rate this documentary 8/10. There was some language in there, but mostly from quoting the celebrities they spoke of, including Frank. I would probably watch it again, it's a long one but it's worth it.
