This documentary is straight and -apart from some entirely unnecessary censorship- fairly unedited honest compilation of the video footage from Lisa's last days in Honduras. Some information and videos from her childhood and TLC life are inserted where appropriate to provide background information to the stories she tells to her friends and to the camera. This creates a quite informative picture about her career and some of her roots, but more importantly, it makes me feel like I can participate in one small piece of her very private life. It lets me have a very close look at her own, off-stage personality with all the twists, chaos, brilliance and these incredibly good energies inside... It's quite some time now that Lisa has left this planet, but I keep missing her a lot. If there is an afterlife, I guess she happily shakes up heaven now and keeps the good souls of our ancestors dancing in the skies (having a lot of fun in piece rather than just "resting" there).
November 30, 2008I AM A HUGE TLC...ESPECIALLY LEFT EYE. I LOVE HER AND HER MUSIC. THIS DVD IS A GREAT VIEW. U HAVE THE ABILITY TO SEE A DIFFERENT SIDE OF LISA LOPES, WHICH I ENJOYED GREATLY. I AM SOO EXCITED THAT SHE IS COMING OUT WITH A NEW ALBUM "EYE LEGACY" SET TO RELEASE ON JANUARY 27, 2009. I AM NOT WAIT TO HEAR NEW UNRELEASE TRACKS FROM ONE OF THE HOTTEST MC EVER!!
October 31, 2008I've been a fan of TLC since late 1991. The chemistry and talent that T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chilli share with the world is something only TLC execute. After a decade of hits, singles, videos, albums, movies, ups and downs we lost one of the most creative emcees to every bless Hip-Hop and R-N-B. Years after her passing, the footage of the documentary that she was shooting was put together with tags of her history to create The Last Days of Left Eye. The story of her humble beginnings and rise to fame will warm your heart. The footage she shot on her last days will make you laugh and disturb you a little bit. Even if you aren't a fan of TLC, the story is so unique and interesting that this movie will probably keep the attention and engage anyone who watchs it. It also has a few short left-out scenes in the Special Features. The only downside is that the DVD boasts about having an unreleased TLC song called "Let's Just Do It" that should play as part of a CD-Rom. However, the song does not play. I've spoken to other people who have this DVD and they have the same problem. Reguardless, if u are a TLC and/or Left Eye fan, you will enjoy this DVD. Check it, and remember one of music's modern day legends.
October 21, 2008This documentary follows Lisa around during the last few weeks of her life. Throughout the journey, we learn many inside stories, leading up to the tragic death. Lisa was full of life, and you could see that she had so much she wanted to get done, yet it all got cut short. This documentary shows Lisa at all angels, and she finally speaks the truth about everything leading up to her final day. A must see for everyone!
