George Carlin's American Dream
这部由两部分组成的纪录片记录了这位传奇喜剧演员的生活和工作，追踪了乔治·卡林的成名历程，并为卡林的个人生活打开了一扇亲密的窗口，包括他在纽约的童年，他与毒品的长期斗争，毒品对他的健康造成了损害，他与法律的冲突，他与妻子布伦达36年的爱情关系，还有他与萨莉·韦德的第二次婚姻。对卡林和布伦达的女儿凯莉·卡林的亲密采访，让我们对她的家庭故事和她父母持久的爱与伙伴关系有了独特的了解。
In the 1960s, young George Carlin cuts his teeth in comedy – but stifles his rebellious instincts to achieve mainstream success. As the counterculture emerges, Carlin reinvents himself, shocking and delighting 1970s audiences with sets like "The Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television," while battling personal demons.
After a slump in the ‘80s, Carlin comes back with a vengeance, reaching new heights – and new audiences – with another reinvention that highlights his prescient political commentary and sharply honed observations about the state of America and the world. Following his death in 2008, fellow comics reflect on his enduring legacy.
