contacts with the family.
As a former reporter, I never was "trusted" by a subject because they knew I'd not work to get their approval: I served a different master as should Penn.
That means that Penn, if he wished, could cast the young man as a delusional, egotistical little pig who only thought of himself, bringing his miserably short life to an end after having done absolutely nothing for anyone, including himself.
A stockbroker that takes a few hours a week to help out in a soup kitchen is far more worthwhile.
Or the guy who got gobbled up by the bears; he died trying, no matter how miserably, to save those animals.
I'll go with an open mind to the work because I've surprised myself plenty, previously. One can, after all, appreciate a work of art and despise the protagonist: that's the difference between life and art, right?
Follow Ups:
of the product (book or movie).
I haven't read or heard anything that even suggests they had final approval on anything.
"You can safely assume you have created God in your own image when he hates all the same people you do."
decided to: you seem to be a tad naive here for arguments sake.
Penn knew what he had to do, though to base it upon K's book he probably had to be somewhat true to it.
Why would someone need the family's approval at all?
I don't know why you seem to come to a halt on the adjective "final."
If they approve, they approve and they participate. Penn felt he needed their blessing which a guy like Herzog, a far more accomplished film maker, never did in his many documentaries.
