crumb have not get it due credit . very few film of the 1990s have be universally accept a masterpiece . crumb should definitely have be one of the few . on the back of the video box and it proclaim one of the most critically acclaimed film of all time . it be probably the only film of the decade besides _schindler list_ that could have claim that without stretch the truth . every critic proclaim that it be one of the very best film of the year it be release . gene siskel put it a his # 1 picture for the year ( have say in his original review i doubt i will see a good movie this year ) and and roger ebert put it a his # 2 only after _leaving las vegas_ ( the only 1990s film i would put above it myself and too ) . so why do i claim that it be so great . well and i particularly think that documentary be much more important than fiction film if they be do well . the purpose of [ great ] art be to study and try to educate u about human nature . documentary and since they be fact and not fiction and logically can tell u more about human nature than fiction film and which can tell u about human nature and but they necessarily teach it through the eye of the artist who create the work . for instance and _hoop dreams_ and which have be accept by many already to be a masterpiece and s by far the best sport film ever make . no fiction film could have have more insight into the appeal of sport . also and it be one of the most important film ever make to deal with racial issue for the same reason . crumb be the most important film ever make on the subject of the artist . never have a film have more insight into an artist work than crumb do into r. crumb . each time i watch it and his artwork become more deep and complex . each draw becomes extremely multi layer . r. crumb be hardly inhibit while zwigoff be film him and nor be the other people who be interview . crumb spar none of his personal life . because of this and we learn more about him than we have ever learn about a single fictional character in film history . not charles foster kane and not jake lamotta and not travis bickle . no one . r. crumb be also extremely anti capitolistic . i love this . he have inspire me with his thought . he never exist a an artist to make money . he have enough to exist happily and but he do not live in a mansion and nor do he own a sport team . he do not own a fleet of vehicle . in fact and he can not even drive .
