Milius - 2013 - 7/10

Perceptive, if skewed, look at the man, his bombastic persona, and tremendous output.
Very – very little of his personal life is shown.
Amongst a plethora of impressive interviewees, were Milius’ son and daughter.
No mention of wives or marriages, or any personal details.
Consequently, most of the anecdotes or stories from others are “work” related.
For a doc of an artist, such is to the point, with very little fat.
Fans of this man will truly enjoy. As Sam Elliott warns early on, however, “John doesn’t write for women, and he doesn’t write for pussies.”
This documentary will appeal mostly to men, especially those who have won a few battles and lost a few.
Note - I will never view Big Lebowski’s Walter quite the same.
