My goodness. I have been a fan of Shaun White since I was 10 years old and I loved this documentary. It chronicles his upbringing in his adventurous family up to making his last run at the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games.
I appreciate that this docuseries tells Shaun's story non-linearly. I was gripped for most of the series. There were a few times it lagged but it picked up again right away. And that was in the first episode only. It picks up and explores Shaun's victories and defeats with his loved ones right there with him. The filmmakers should be proud of this production because they let the audience come to their conclusion about the story of Shaun's snowboarding and skateboarding career.
The best feature may be the transitions from when Shaun or someone he knows experiences a hardship. The score, cinematography, sounds and overall emotions of the moments truly gripped me in. I was applauding so many times and even did a standing ovation in my living room. Keep on rocking Shaun. You are legend bro!
And one more thing. I resonated with the theme of humility throughout this production. How Shaun had rk humble himself when things didn't go well. That was another distinctive feature of this series. The amount of episodes is just right. Thanks again. I will be watching it.
