‘Framing Britney Spears’ Review
The New York Times Presents: Framing Britney Spears
Hulu
Ok so I’m calling this a movie because it’s a one-part documentary, but really The New York Times Presents is a 10 part series with a spotlight on a different topic each episode. Full disclosure, I haven’t watched any of the other episodes. But after noticing Britney on IG and all the #FreeBritney happening on social media I know I needed to watch.
Ugh, we, as a society, are gross. What we did, by being overly concerned with her life, her breakup with JT, her breakdown, just perpetuated the media paying money for the paparazzi shots, and then why would they leave her alone? The way Britney was basically hunted like an animal, and now, under the court ordered conservatorship, is living in a 60 million dollar prison. It doesn’t feel right.
I don’t want to comment on metal health, but what is happening is sad. What happened is sad. They way we treated her is sad.
The adults who are controlling her finances are benefiting financially and that seems like a clear conflict of interest. Britney Spears is beyond talented and beyond rich, but I can’t help but feel that the system has failed her.
