A documentary on William Shatner, cultural Icon. When I was a child I too wanted to "go Boldly where no man has gone before", discover new worlds, so - realizing as I got older his failings - first as an actor, and - really, what does it matter the rest?
It was time to put childish things behind me and while I respected his "accomplishments" - never so much the quality of his work but the breadth of his career, and how much his roles influenced the cultural landscape, I was never really a "trekkie" or a fan of his acting style.
But this documentary, kind, warm, revealing, it was good, and a fair send off to one who is still able to realize that he is soon to set off on journey where every man has gone before and none have returned. And his thoughts upon the planet, mortality, and what is truly important.
Proof that one can become more than the sum of ones parts. Very worthwhile.
