The secret behind Kim Kardashian’s tears in the new documentary is what Kanye West said that made her emotional?
Kim Kardashian’s six years of journey, an untold story
Director Nico Ballesteros’ new documentary, ‘In Whose Name?’
is an in-depth look at six years of Kanye West’s life.
The trailer for the film, which is slated to release in about 1,000 theaters on September 19, is out now, and it has some moments that will leave you heartbroken.
“You weren’t like this before”
There’s a very emotional scene in the trailer where Kanye, 48, tells Kim, 44, “I haven’t been on my medication for five months.”
To this, Kim replies in a tearful voice: “Your personality wasn’t like this a few years ago.”
It’s the agony of a mother, a wife, watching her loved one change right in front of her.
Tension caught on camera
The trailer shows several tense conversations. At one point, Kanye angrily says, “No buts-wakin’!”
It also includes family moments with daughter North and glimpses of the 2020 presidential election.
Refusal of medication
Kanye considers his bipolar diagnosis as a part of his art, saying, “I would rather die than take medication…
They are killing our ability to think outside the box.”
This is an aspect of his thinking that has been a matter of concern for many.
What is shown, what is hidden
Interestingly, Kanye’s antisemitic controversies have been ignored in the trailer.
Instead, the focus is on his creative process, mental health struggle and the breakdown of his marriage.
A mix of art and suffering
‘In Whose Name?’ is not just a celebrity documentary.
It is an open document of an artist’s mind, where the boundary between genius and suffering becomes blurred.
Is Kanye’s genius linked to his mental struggle? Or is it taking away his true identity?
Perhaps we’ll find out the answers to these questions when the film is released on September 19.
Until then, Kim’s tears and Kanye’s words make us think about how difficult it can be to balance fame and family.
