From the very first second that this documentary starts Madonna is full of her own ego. She is very self-centered from the get-go. Watching this documentary I understand why none of her relationships in life last very long. And I mean more than just romantic relationships, she's had a lot of broken friendships. Anyway after 7 minutes of watching it, I decided to skip around to the Warren Beatty parts, I was really curious about him. After his scenes, I skipped towards the end. Yea I skipped around a lot in this documentary because I didn't think it was worth watching the entire hour and 59 minutes. Sure I like some of her music, but her act of using her sexuality is nothing new. Also spoiled divas are nothing new in this world. In the end she's an entertainer and nothing more. I'm not impressed with her quests for spirituality either.I skipped a lot with this documentary, I was really interested in her relationship with Warren Beatty. She's very disrespectful, she calls him up and he's supposed to meet her but there's some misunderstanding and instead of working it out like a woman, she decides to hang up on him. To Madonna people are just expendable, its all just a game to her. I don't think people should take themselves seriously but its like she mistreats people and I don't like that. I get why none of her relationships last and why her marriage probably didn't last.Warren Beatty also tries to talk to Madonna and bring her to reality, he's not mean either, he actually seems like a very nice man, he speaks in a normal voice and tries to reason with her. I can see why it took a long time for Warren Beatty to commit to a woman because with a circus trainwreck like Madonna, even the nicest guy in the world would run.Warren grew up and married Annette Bening and Madonna didn't grow up at all. Not even with kids in her life. She's going to be one of those lonely old people in the end with no one by her side when she really hits her senior years.

I have always been fascinated with Madonna. I feel that she has been unfairly maligned over the years, as are many who stretch the envelope with new ideas and thinking.I have to admit I tuned into this documentary just to see Pedro Almodovar. I hadn't realized that Madonna had a thing for Antonio Bandaras and she got to meet him at a party thrown in her honor by Almodovar. Unbelievable, that she lost out to Melanie Griffith.Seeing Madonna backstage shines a whole new light on her and makes her out to be someone who really cares about putting on a good show and, more importantly, shows her as someone who loves every - black, white, gay, straight - it doesn't matter. Everyone except Kevin Costner, who had the audacity to call her show "neat."

i loved this movie and was amazed by how natural madonna finally seemed in front of a camera. this is so interesting to me, primarily because of how terrible she is in every other film other then 'desperatly seeking susan,' which was just another version of her. in her other ventures into features the biggest problem with her acting is how forced, stiff, and unnatural she is in her every waking motion. it's like the camera goes on and every bad high school actor out there is suddenly channeling thru madge. yet how is it then that she is so comfortable in front of this camera? it's one of two things, as near as i can figure, either she's just a crap actress, having nothing to do with her stress in front of the camera, or, she overloads when attempting to create a manufactured person with a manufactured person. damn, i just lost my train of thought right when i was writing that second one.

I do not listen to Madonna. What I've heard I've enjoyed, but for the most part I don't go out of my way to hear her music. As an actress she's never really impressed me and personally some of the tabloid stuff has rubbed me the wrong way and I just don't find her interesting anymore. In general I find celebrities who rely on tabloids for regenerating popularity (e.g. Paris Hilton) despicable, and Madonna does this quite often. Just as the tabloids stopped carrying lies about her, she kisses Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera on-stage and we endure another year of tabloid speculation."Truth or Dare" was a "documentary" made in 1991 that followed Madonna on her 1990 Blonde Ambition tour, which was highly controversial. This is where she did all sorts of sexual stuff on stage including (simulating) masturbation on the floor of the podium.The documentary is really sleazy and basically follows the sex goddess as she candidly discusses...sex. Wow, how original.One scene in the documentary has all the people on her music crew climbing into her bed and they talk about all sorts of taboo stuff and she gets two of the guys to kiss each other.It's not even interesting in a car-crash kind of way, where it's so shocking you can't take your eyes off it. It's just plain boring and controversial for the sake of being so. Seen 15 years later, it just looks outdated, smug and annoying.
