Movie Review #21 - "Jake Shimabukuro: Life on Four Strings (2012)"
It's Sunday afternoon ... Nothing that I really want to see at the theatres ... So ... Amazon Prime find me a movie ... There's nothing there that I haven't seen ... Search Documentaries ... No ... I don't want to watch a movie about "Food" ... Then, I stumbled on this one ...
Benny's Tabasco Rating: 8 / 10 Tabasco Peppers (almost a 9)
Synopsis: This documentary tells the story of a young man, Jake Shimabukuro, from Hawaii who plays the ukulele like Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, or Eddie Van Halen plays a guitar.
Cast: Well ... Jake ...
Cinematography: It's well done for a documentary. There are some nice shots of Jake performing. The most amazing shots were of Shendai, Japan after the tsunami ... For those of us who saw and maybe went through Hurricane Katrina, these shots were jaw-dropping of the damage that town has suffered.
Overall Review: First, just watching this guy play the ukulele is incredible. Seeing and hearing his life story was pretty good as well ... He's a really cool guy ... I would love him to be a friend ... I don't want to give it all away because you just have to watch this young man play ... For that alone, it's worth that hour of your time ... I promise you will be telling your friends about this movie / man.
