Amazing documentary, 5 May 2002
10/10
Author: Enrique Sanchez from Miami, FL

I began to watch this documentary in hopes of seeing the wonderfully idyllic dreams of a visionary become a reality.

What I finally witnessed was one of the most frank documentaries on the character of a man I've yet seen.

I must congratulate the filmmakers who put this together and possessed the guts to portray this arrogant man, warts and spots exposed.

When the Princess finally arrives, I only felt total embarrassment that he subjected her to those Kama-Sutra type images as some kind of pre-breakfast entertainment. It was pathetic.

His self-proclaimed admission to being a "rat" seemed quite appropriate.

Why he is "loved" is an example of why despotic rulers are successful and lauded. Some of these people have no other choice but to follow.

Why he found it necessary to openly insult the filmmakers is unexplainable. I've never cringed so much. Except perhaps during a Pauly Shore movie.

If you want to see a fully honest and candid portrayal of a man, see this. You won't be disappointed.
