dancewithliz Jini Dellaccio was the first to capture what it means to be a rock star and human at the same time. She shows us real musicians in their beauty, glory, and exhaustion, interacting authentically with their surroundings and their collaborators. It was so thrilling for me to watch this pure art process come to life on the screen. Personally I would love for many more people to be aware of the enormous contribution that Jini has made to American art. Witnessing true, passionately-created art brings energy and joy to our hearts. I saw this happen before my eyes at a recent screening of Her Aim Is True, where every audience member was touched by the power, authenticity, and purity that the work of this artist brings to our heritage.
Victor Smith If you get the opportunity to see this movie - and hopefully it will soon be in much wider release - by all means see it. What we have here is a perfect example of how film can truly make a difference by recording for generations to come a maverick artist who may otherwise have remained unknown to a wider audience. This film not only captures the sounds and the vibe of the music scene of the Pacific Northwest in the 60s and 70s, it also uses footage from interviews with this maverick artist to give a true sense of what it is like to cross boundaries of age, gender and cultural difference to truly connect and understand another person and, through this understanding, capture the essence of another person through photography. There is a lesson for all of us both as creators and appreciators of the arts. This was a true inspiration. Brava!
sandersonh I feel fortunate to have seen this movie. What a joy. The music, the photographs, the rock legends, the trip back into the 60's alone are reasons to watch the film. Add the iconic 92 year-old star and you have a distinctive slice of American history. Appealing across generations, this movie works at numerous levels—historical, artistic, gender roles and self-actualization to name a few . Watching an active 92 year old who is sharp as a tack makes this baby boomer wonder what I will do for the next 30 years. To see a 49 year-old re-invent herself is inspiring and a lesson in life. What is inside us if we just set if free? If you are looking for an entertaining and worthwhile film, this is it.
Garciajaa ***This Review May Contain Spoilers***For anyone who enjoys documentaries, photography, popular music (have I covered everyone yet?), this is a movie you will appreciate. Her Aim is True has it all - interesting story that flows well, fun and sympathetic characters, a great soundtrack, some funny moments, and high quality production. If you don't know Jini's story, you should. It is hard to believe that a society obsessed with celebrity and popular culture has overlooked this rock photography pioneer with close ties to the early days of the burgeoning rock and alternative music scene. Plus, she took that iconic photo of the reclusive Neil Young! She photographed the Stones! If you do know Jini's story, you won't want to miss this in-depth look at her life and her work.
