Andy McQueen 4,484 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I just read several reviews of the documentary and noticed how many were disappointed and complained about the same thing: Gaga's narcissism. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7291268/reviews This made me very thoughtful... Do you think they have valid points, regarding Gaga's ego? When I saw the documentary, I was so moved by her condition with fbromyalgia and mental health issues, pain and all the hard work and selfless efforts and relationship problems etc. that I didn't even "notice" how often she talked about herself. But I have to admit, now seeing it from a different perspective, I can somehow understand that "non-Gaga-fans" are viewing her that way and why they have this impression. I was just so surprised/shocked reading all this negative reviews, but tbh also thinking maybe they do have a point in some ways, it came of as self-centered, saying she feels like she is her aunt etc., I mean I can somehow understand why the reviewers felt that way regarding narcissism/egoism, even though I don't agree and Gaga rather seems very insecure and sensitive to me than narcissistic. But people are complex and I guess fame is so unnatural, it makes celebrities and artists narcissistic to some degree, of course the ego grows.

Reid LePage 4,830 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 or maybe she just feels the way she feels and people should shut the **** up! we all know gagz is somewhat humble h o w e v e r the gp are fully aware that a lot of hollywood stars have some type of ego, but like, who doesn't? it's not news that people feel this way bc celebrities get dogged on for being up their asses all the time, so let them have their chit chat bc gaga is egotistical for a reason - she's ****ing talented. close thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipz 1,197 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 If they think Gaga's ego is too much, they better check on other fav. celebs. Have they seen Rihanna? Minaj? The list is endless. I do not agree with any of their statements, because Gaga is a professional and does it in the best possible and humble way. To me she was completely fine, giving everything to her fans.

Esteban 2,300 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Totally agree with your conclusion! And I dont think we can go any further without a direct access to her psychic apparatus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTV 12,826 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 The only thong that bothered me is the fact that every scene includes her being groomed, getting make up, fixing her hair... Not too much but it may come off as insecure-ish / narcissist if ur not a Gaga fan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJudasGaga4 67,907 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I mean, it is a documentary about her.....documenting HER life, so obviously its gonna be mainly about her..and what do they expect, her not to have fancy things? She is a celebrity, its not like she is gonna get something from the trash and wear it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagally 775 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 This is so wild. I know I keep repeating myself, but I have to clarify I only really became aware of LG in June (THE trailer.) Every single day since June 2, I have watched, listened to or read about Gaga. No sh*t, everyday brings me another revelation. I knew 5F2 was out there, but I wanted to “save” it for when I ran out of new material to absorb. Tonight, Netflix menu was left on tv, and I half-heartedly searched for 5F2 just get a taste. Wham! I was pulled right in, found myself engrossed and praying it would not end. What an unbelievable piece of work!!! Frankly, I did not know how I was going to talk about it here on GDD, being a newbie, I am wary of obeying protocol w/ bumping threads, starting new topics, tagging, etc. I seem to have gotten a fair bit of negative reaction in the short time I have been here. Anyways- THANK YOU for bringing 5F2 to the front page!! I will be back with more reaction. Watch As I Dive In Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skabi 3,096 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 i dont really get where they're coming from, its a documentary about her life what should she mostly talk about? her chickens? if i turn on a documentary about beyonce i'll expect to see her talk about her life, what's going on etc. as the documentary ends i'm expecting to know a little bit more about the person the documentary is about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexanderMagno 10,746 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Mostly, I feel the documentary is not as spontaneous as it is supposed to be, and that is why it feels so narcissistic. I was also not impressed by it. Most of the times it’s clear from the things she says that the upper class thing went a lot over her head. She was a lot less humble than I was expecting.

Gagally 775 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Wait... I just went to read the user reviews. Wow. Just wow. Such hate. I have only read a few and had to back away to process. So...these people seriously walked away from that film concluding she is a self-absorbed, narcissistic, empty-headed, apathetic, boring stoner?!?!?! Ok. What am I missing? I have to think this through... perhaps they are..... no- I will not say it. I must go study more. Watch As I Dive In Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
