This Is Paris (2020)

Left me still wondering who the real Paris is!

[5/10 · 16 September 2020]

It seemed at the beginning we may finally be getting more insight about the real Paris but further on into the documentary you see that she's really not that much different from her dumb blonde alter ego (I'm not saying she's dumb). We see her natural voice is actually a bit deeper, she suffers from insomnia, she's more of a tomboy at heart and she has nightmares but that's about it. We find out she was sent to a series of strict boarding schools during her partying phase as a teenager which she tends to blame on mostly all her problems later in life. I had a lot of trouble believing one of the strict boarding schools she was sent to had her in solitary confinement just staring at a wall for 24 hours and that they beat the crap out of her when she was disobedient as she stated. She says she doesn't want to be seen as a reality star yet she has the audacity to unnecessarily throw in a bogus relationship and fake acting (which was laughable) in her personal documentary! I'm surprised she talks about how she wants to be a self made billionaire because all the average person needs to hear is a rich person talking about money *sarcasm*. I understand she wants to get more credit then just be seen as riding off her parents money but she was born to wealthy parents and got a huge chip on her shoulder in life and that helped her tremendously. The least thing I want to hear is how she wants more money or how she's never been photographed in the same outfit twice or even how she buys tons of stuff she never wears that just sit in her closet. She partially touched on her infamous s*x tape (which was the main reason she was a household name) but it was nothing that I didn't already know. I think she forgets she's playing a character so much that the character becomes her which she still played a lot in the documentary to the point I really feel like I still don't know who the real Paris is. It's like she acts like she's being forced to stay in her dumb blonde character. She still acts like a little girl that hasn't grown up at heart which she fully admits. I do love how she is always sweet to her fans and how she tries to stay smiling even through her hard moments which I do feel is genuine unlike The Kardashians but through the whole one hour and forty five minute film (which could of all easily of been condensed in less than an hour) I still felt like I really didn't get to see that much of the supposed real PARIS that she made us think we'd see in the promo trailer!
