VHS Movie Reviews of Behind the Music: Shania Twain [VHS]

Movie Review: The Biography Of Shania Twain
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the one hour biography of Shania Twain. It is very enjoyable with her great music mixed in. She started out with Country Classics and eventually moved over to pop. She's now one of the best-selling female artists of all time. This video explores the years of heartbreak and sacrifice that led to Shania Twain's breakthrough and crossover success. You will see rare footage of Shania's pre-teen years.

Movie Review: Just My Opinion, In a Nutshell.....
Summary: 5 Stars

Please understand that this is just my perspective, my opinion, but I consider this an exceptionally important and emotionally moving video.... that being said....I have to add...If someone made a 1 hour video of Shania Twain sitting on a sofa drinking tea....I'd buy it.....

Movie Review: touching
Summary: 5 Stars

I think that the VH1 behind the music are very interesting and I am glad they do it. It makes you realize that all artists do not always have the world handed to them on a silver platter. Shania grew up in poverty. Shania had to struggle to keep her family together after the death of her parents. She gave up everything in order to put food on the table. With her great success, (thanks to the help of her hubby Mutt Lang) She does not take life for granted, I think she knows, that it all can be taken away in just a short period of time. She appreciates the value of money. And she gives back to the world what she has been given.

Movie Review: Heartwarming and Endearing
Summary: 5 Stars

I love Shania and had no idea that she had such a tough childhood. Now I have much more respect for her. This biography is sad at times. You will cry! Shania's had a few tough breaks but she learned from them and made herself a success.

Movie Review: I LOVE SHANIA TWAIN
Summary: 5 Stars

I LOVE SHANIA TWAIN AND I HOPE I CAN MEAT HER PERSONALY. I LIKE HOW SHE SINGS AND I AM TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH HER I WOULD DO ANITHING FOR HER.

Summary of Behind the Music: Shania Twain [VHS]

At its best, VH-1's Behind the Music series walks a fine line between valentine and deep dish, coaxing personal tragedies and dark career missteps from its subjects while still acknowledging their achievements and saluting the fans. This well-timed profile of the Canadian country crossover queen is an apt example, benefiting from abundant early video footage and a willingness (albeit very delicately employed) to raise some of the tougher questions about her public image.

The former Eilleen Twain's struggle from provincial lounge bands to a budding Canadian career, only to be thrust into the role of surrogate parent when her parents died in an auto accident, is presented sympathetically, of course, as is her identification with her adoptive father's Ojibwa culture. But the 60-minute documentary also notes subsequent media skepticism about this rags-to-riches saga, while allowing Twain and some passionate defenders (including singer Faith Hill and Nashville journalist Robert Oermann) to knock the nay-sayers.

Meanwhile, Twain's putative country credentials are examined more in terms of Nashville's Music Row power elite than her music. We learn how she was initially groomed as a country marionette, mouthing other people's songs, dismissed as an outsider, then begrudgingly accepted as a star after she teamed with producer and future husband Robert "Mutt" Lange to record her own songs. What's never really addressed is whether Twain's slickly crafted songs are true examples of country music, or archetypes of the chicken-fried mainstream pop-rock that now accounts for much of the "New Country" boom. Twain's readiness to exploit her beauty and aerobicized midriff is another story, of course, but who can blame the filmmakers?

If the story sometimes edges toward hagiography, crude but endearing video footage offers un-retouched glimpses of the future superstar in early, pre-pubescent performances, as well as in teenage Canadian TV excerpts, and as the big-haired, chameleon vocalist in a slick resort review. --Sam Sutherland
