Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone never made any secret of her ambition to become the most successful female recording artist of all time. For two decades she has provoked storms of outrage and controversy through her songs, videos, stage performances, film roles and books - deliberately provoked as part of a superb exercise in self-promotion. Now her phenomenal work-rate and extraordinary ability to re-invent herself have seen her safely through to iconic status. Eagle Media examines the rise of Madonna in Madonna: The Wild Angel, from her life growing up, her early attempts at becoming a star and life as the megastar that she is today. Featuring interviews with journalists, authors and DJ's, along with vintage news clips, tells the story of Madonna like it has never been heard before. The program is approximately 63 minutes long and contains an additional hour of bonus features.
Reader Reviews
At the risk of being repetitious, most all the low ratings are right on the mark. This documentary is a real disappointment. Most documentaries interview friends, colleagues and loved ones about the subject of interest in order to give the viewer insight about the person - this film does not do that. The full scope of Madonna's life is not touched on; the video clips and still imagery are the same over and over again (likely, they could not afford or obtain permission to secure rights to use more); the primary "storytellers" are an obscure Madonna biographer and a Madonna impersonator who doesn't look much like her. The storyline covers the basics on Madonna that you probably already know and not much more. I am recommending or maybe warning you not to buy this before viewing. I rented it online and glad i did not buy. What a waste of time.
