Beautifully edited

Tells the story of Simon's rise from boy in Queens New York, making music as a duo with his friend to rise as perhaps the greatest songwriter of our time.The direction and editing are very well done, the visuals add so much.I remember his early years with Garfunkel. The public story line was how much of a collaboration it was. In reality it was more like 99% Paul. Garfunkel's voice added an ethereal beauty to the vocals. But as I got deeper into the story I was reminded of the amazing directions Simon's music took. Not content with doing the same old thing he forged a kinship with musicians from South Africa and Brazil. He really is a musical genius.This tells the story of his latest album, a miracle in itself considering he is now completely deaf in one ear. This entire album was born from a dream.

Episode 1 ending misunderstood

Let me begin by saying some thought Paul said at the end of episode 1 that Garfunkel was a person he never wanted to see again. But that's not what he said. He was talking about himself never wanting to "see" or be that person again. Himself, being that way..I really enjoyed it. They were truly a unique duo and so talented. Still are, really. Unfortunately, and also ironically, Paul has lost most of his hearing but he's still writing songs. Reminds me of Johnny Cash at close to the end of his life, and his reflecting on his life through song.It brought back a lot of memories of troubled, but good, times in a lot of ways.

Extremely moving!

Paul and Alex Gibney did a beautiful job...tastefully done, showcasing different eras of Paul's incredible careerIt was awesome to see behind the scenes of Paul's process...I liked the chronological approach personallyA true portrait of a resilient, brilliant artist whose songs have moved us for years!The only thing that could have enhanced the experience is an Art Garfunkel interview but obviously that would have been tough to pull off! I'm probably asking for too much!I hope to see Paul live someday...hopefully his hearing improves and he can tour Seven Psalms. It would be a treat to seeThank you Paul for your contributions to our cultureRyan from chicago.
