MUCH ADO ABOUT MICHELLE OBAMA's DOCU-MOVIE
weighs in on the criticisms against ‘Becoming,’ a new documentary movie on Netflix based on the former US First Lady, Michelle Obama’s memoir of the same title.
The movie was also bashed by critics for being weak on the theme of politics. Michelle may have been a political figure by virtue of her husband’s political stance but her eight years at the White House could not be compressed into just a political frame. Her cardinal points of engagement during her period of sharing spotlight with her husband include girl-child education and empowerment as well as healthy diet and fitness.
Freedom and self-discovery formed the nucleus of this scripted life at the White House. Michelle is not exactly the hard-collar woman that the public anticipated so she explored activities and projects that would fit into her persona. Combined with these is her sense of grooming and fashion. In no time, she metamorphosed into a hero and was even more popular in the US than her husband who was making policies that inadvertently ruffled feathers.
Many critics may have also failed to see how the reading culture had been impacted by the book, ‘Becoming’ as the concert-size auditoriums reflected the warm reception of the reading audience for the author who gave credits to early influences, inner will and courage to achieve the American dream.
