As a result of a search for the video of the song «Live And Let Die» on Youtube, I got interested in learning more about Lang Lang’s story. This is an earnest documentary about his childhood, how the opinions of other on his talent worked on his self esteem, either as a total discouragement or as the so much needed passion to keep him striving to become his true best. An ode to the sacrifices made by his family, his unquestionable fascination with the emotional components found on every single musical note, his rising from classical virtuoso to a more flamboyant XXI century style of stardom without losing his objectiveness, his sense of connection, and his wholehearted commitment to teach music to talented kids of all walks of life.
The documentary is a delightful jewel available on Youtube.
