Fame Us (2017)
Challenges your thinking yet leaves you with a positive outlook
Many documentaries leave you feeling like "What idiots" or "I would never do this" or "Why am I still living?" because they highlight something important but put it across in a way that leaves you feeling despondent. Fame Us is different.
Fame Us enables you to see the traps that our bad culture has set for us so that you can see a pathway out of it. The interviews of famous people get some really credible answers on how to achieve fame but not be seduced by fame.
I was really challenged personally to talk with my daughters and teach them some of the things I had identified from Fame Us. It was really worthwhile to share with them the common traps that, with understanding, could be avoided, along with the misadventure and often pain that follows.
Fame Us left me feeling that fame isn't something we have to eliminate from our lives and that all famous people are evil and self absorbed. The movie was able to present fame as a part of our culture and that setting career goals and achieving them can be pleasant, but do not have to be a priority.
Thank you Lincoln for making this life study.
