Interesting, but no Bowie music included and issues with volume fluctuations

The content was interesting and highlights how Bowie was always ahead of the trends in music creativity, fashion, and the ways in which the music industry operated, which explains how he got his reputation as a music genius and legend.

Do not watch this if you want to hear any of his recordings or see concert footage as there isn't any. Either the producers didn't want to fork out for the licensing fees or Bowie's estate did not give permission for their use.

The sound editing is pathetic with massive changes in volume throughout which is quite annoying.

It is these last two points that resulted in me only rating this documentary 5/10.

Informative Yet Not Exciting; No Music

(Flash Review)

If you are a big Bowie fan and are interested in how he got started, gained his fame and to his death, this will be up your alley. The film goes into detail about his early years, various relationships, his impactful albums, how his personas changed over time, his smattering of acting roles and most interesting for me is how much control he had over the business side of his music and performances. This film didn't pay music royalties so there was no big songs interspersed yet there were a plethora of Bowie interviews. No special production creativity, thus this was a completely average documentary.

There can be no denying that at the very pinnacle of his popularity - Bowie had a phenomenal influence (as had Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson) on the direction of pop music and on the contemporary fashions of his generation.

Through stills, interviews, and film clips (from various stages in Bowie's career) - "The Man Who Changed The World" offers the viewer a fond reminiscence of a dynamic individual who was greatly admired, emulated, and respected by millions of adoring fans from all across the face of this planet.
