"We didn’t necessarily need to make something that serviced the fans. We could actually be true to Tina’s narrative, and that was really liberating."“Tina,” a new documentary about the rock superstar Tina Turner, tells a story in two acts. The first is a tragic portrait of childhood neglect, horrific spousal abuse and private suffering. The second is a joyous celebration of personal liberation, creative success and public adoration.
The documentary features interviews with actor Angela Bassett ; journalist Kurt Loder; playwright Katori Hall; Turner’s husband Erwin Bach; and Oprah Winfrey. The film also includes audio recordings of a 1981 People magazine interview in which Turner, who now lives in Switzerland, recounted her harrowing escape from Ike’s abuse.
But what Tina’s life story offers is a real journey, a real saga. It just so happens that the hero at the center is an iconic musical performer. We gave her a sense of our point of view before we interviewed her, so she knew coming into it that we were going to cover the abuse but not ask her to recount specific details. We tried to tell her story in a way that was as respectful as possible — not exploitative, not sensationalized.: We learned in early conversations with Tina that the pain of her past is always lurking around the corner. She’ll say it herself.
In our interview with Tina, she said: “How do you bow out slowly, go away? I appreciate all this love for me, but I am done, I am tired, I just want to live in retirement.” We understood that desire, and I think as time went on, we realized what that actually meant.
Not my president 😡😡😡
