The best parts -
1. The old videos and clips that brought back a lot of memories from that time period.
2. Learning about the negative impact that the article had on their careers back then, I had not realized it effected them as much as it did.
3. Seeing a lot of the actors now... they are all still fantastic.
The worst parts - 1. It should have been an hour... there were way too many "clever" documantary shots. For instance, the video of a video of a video or the reflections in a subway. Cliches that made the story drag out and didn't add to piece.
2. Realizing that Andrew either hasn't went to a good counselor in the 35 years since then or he hasn't been open and receptive to what they were saying. You can tell that pretty much every actor he interviewed had processed it and moved on. Most of them seemed to have turned the negative into a positive and let it fuel them on to become better.
I am hoping his angst was mostly overemphasized for the project. Anxiety/rumination is a tough combo to live with and I hope he got peace from doing the documentary.
I'm glad he did this project and am grateful to him for sharing with us.
