STAR TREK: TO BE TAKEI(2014)


Exactly what you would expect from George! Kind
of a walk-through of his life as he is now, and where
he came from! He makes it a point to bash William
Shatner as often as possible, while pounding in his
being in a war camp here in America! He also makes
it a point to show the world his relationship with his
partner, Brad! The problem I have here is that he
doesn't seem to be able to let go and just go on with
his life without bashing someone! Too bad, cause I
had the good fortune of meeting him, along with
Jimmy Doohan and Nichelle Nicholes, and even
though he and the others, even then(in the mid
90s), made it a point to bash Shatner, they were
still fun to meet and talk with! I just wish
he and Nichelle could get on with their lives,
as I truly believe they are wonderful people! C+

A review from IMDb.com:

George Takei's a no-brainer for a documentary
subject, what with his being a pillar of the LGBT
community and as a social media force. And "To
Be Takei" devotes plenty of time to this facet of
his life. But it also devotes plenty of time to his
childhood relocation and internment during WWII.
It's here where things turn dark, and the bigotry
of the period is shocking. And I didn't know that
he was instrumental in getting U.S. government
restitution for said internment. Powerful stuff.
There's moderate attention paid to his Star Trek
legacy, and it's here where the movie disappoints.
Shatner comes off as a dick, which is kinda sad.
I know there's truth to the bad blood story, but
there's also shameless editorializing at his expense.
It's a bummer. This movie's fairly mediocre; the focus is scattered
and we bounce around haphazardly. But there's also
plenty to learn about the man. - Mr-Fusion
