“I was born in a small house on the shores of the Mississippi River in 1938. My father worked on a steam ship,” said Paul Rubens, a new two -part documentary series of HBO. Talk to Matt Wolf, the director of Him Self.
Of course, it was not. Rubens was born in peak skill in New York in 1952. His father … Yes, his father was many, including the founder of the Israeli Air Force, but he was definitely not working on a steam ship.

Rubens’s jokes (one of the first things he said in the documentary) is the two important points of Pewie As Him Self, the center of the artist’s portrait that is interesting, educated and fun. I have pointed out.
First, Rubens, who died in 2023, had built his own identity for decades. He has spent many years to appear in a talk show as a lovable alter ego harman or to appear in a cameo personally, so who is behind a boy wearing a suit with a crisp voice? It became impossible to know if it was. One of the many pleasures of “Pee Wee As Him Self” is that “Paul Rubens” in “Pee Wee As Him Self” may not be at all that person. It is also to enjoy the sense of Rubens as a separate personality. It was forged like Pie Wee Harman. As a result, Wolf is given a task that opens Rubens/Piewee nested dolls one after another to find a route route and Pie Prime. (The process of researching and interpreting Paul Rubens is known as “interpretation”, and it may not be a joke at all that will enjoy just seven people.)
But second, Rubens has been shooting an interview with Wolf for 40 hours, and the impression that Piewi himself is communicated is constantly pushing and pulling. Rubens initially wanted to create a documentary for himself, but was opposed by Wolf, friends and loved ones, and was not yet in contact at the time of shooting.
“You shouldn’t control your own documentary,” Rubens admits. “You have no perspective on yourself.”
The most famous catchphrase is perfect for the man’s words that ended with “But what am I?”
As mentioned in the documentary, Rubens has been constantly destroying his personality (the characters were “Paul Rubens”, but was replaced by “Paul Rubens?”), And Wolf tries to guide him. He accuses him to build a conflict between their opinions. A predetermined destination. The confrontation is almost always held in a good mood, and another character is probably played.
In any case, this document provides version of the version of the version that I have never seen before, provide insights in his career, from cheerful to sorrowful things, and definitely Pewy as himself. It will be a must -see for multiple generations that have been raised and distorted.
As Rubens has pointed out (and Rubens was in trouble in the latter half of his life), he collected over 50 years, among which for 1,000 hours of personal images and childhood There were tens of thousands of personal photos going back. This is a treasure mountain that enhances the documentary almost the same as the story.
Since Pee Wee Harman stands as one of Peter Pan’s character featuring pop culture, I am the first part (although both from 99 minutes to 101 minutes, both passed quickly). I felt more attractive. Development of arrested development. Rubens’s obsession with a childhood circus, the transition to Florida to a local theater, and the transition to an avant -garde comedy, and the transition to an improvisational comedy. Elegant and neutral Rubens builds some of the built identity, experimenting characters, and sees a video of Pewie Harman discovering his sexuality before the idea is born. is.
These home movies, grounding tapes, and excerpts from early media appearances such as The Gong Show are like many fetal brothers absorbed in the womb. Some may lament the career of Rubens’s virtual chameleon consumed by Piewei. You can see the performers who may have acquired Oscar or have become the world’s largest cult star in the Rubens, which may have been the world, but in any case he has happened.
In recent interviews with Rubens, he felt that he had decided to return to the closet after spending a certain choice, especially in his 20s, spending at least a short period of time, and at least a short period of time. You can see the painful thoughts and the unpleasant questions. Piewei is pretending to be faithful to Paul Rubens. At the introspective moment of his sexuality and a mysterious private life overall, it is the most rich in the wolf, and it feels like a vein that Rubens did not want to reveal the most. Create a conversation.
Most of the first episodes are Rubens’s storytelling and consideration, but his sister Abbey also appears (it is a bit strange that having another brother has been mentioned at all, and this is a bit strange. It is omitted, but I do not know what it is), a friend of a young man, a college, and a ground ring. This episode introduces Pie Wee’s great adventure and includes complementary interviews with strange fellow Tim Burton.
In the second episode, major co -workers in the program, such as Pee Wee’s Play House, Lawrence Fish Burn, Linmary Stewart, S. Epasa Markerson, and Natasha Rion, will appear. Rubens states that he is frankly regrettable about his dominant actions and the final end. The same is true for some of the selections performed on Big Top Pee-Wee.
Piewei himself has to struggle a little when he has frequent problems in Rubens’s life. At the beginning of the documentary, Rubens expressed his desire to correct a few things, but his ability to do it is ultimately restricted for various reasons on the screen. This documentary does not avoid or avoid Rubence’s two arrests that have changed some people’s perspective on Rubens forever, but many of those stories are the other stories. It needs to be spoken by people, so it is not revelation. Friends like David Arkhettes and Devi Mazar, and his spokeswoman and lawyers talk about their perspective, while Rubens’s direct ideas are more limited.
Wolf is a recent HBO documentary program focusing on Gary Shandring and George Kalin, who takes the most of the time with the theme and refuses to purify their interactions. Deficart Fanny Men created a documentary. 。 As you can see here, Rubens was difficult, familiar, youthful, introspective, and intelligent but defective. I’m convinced that a completely different documentary should have been created for him as a completely different human, but that’s only more attractive.
