Who talked about it

The Big Picture

Came from

What the speakers say it drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

The Sopranos: 1 line the maker said so ×1

  1. craft (craft): The Sopranos ⇒ Tiger (the maker said so: the Tiger director, in the interview on the show). The cliffhanger-ish end of part one, scored to the song Evidently Chickentown, is an homage to a Sopranos final-season baptism episode.
    “that moment is kind of an homage to, um, the, an episode of uh, the Sopranos during the final season.”

Connected to

The Last Dance: 2 lines contrast ×1 lineage ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Tiger → The Last Dance. Unlike The Last Dance, where Jordan and his team were producers with some control, Tiger is unauthorized and Woods does not sit for it.
    “this is interesting, especially as a contrast of the last dance, which was, of course, the last big super sports documentary of recent times that wasn't authorized piece in which Michael Jordan and his compatriots were on board his producers.”

Earl Woods: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (theme): Tiger → Earl Woods. The first half frames Earl as a Dr. Frankenstein making Tiger into a monster of power and emotional danger.
    “to show Earl Woods, his father, as the kind of Dr. Frankenstein, and making Tiger Woods into this kind of Frankenstein monster, for better and for worse”

O.J.: Made in America: 1 line lineage ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): Tiger → O.J.: Made in America. Audiences are conditioned by Made in America and The Last Dance to expect soup-to-nuts sports documentaries that are really about larger ideas.
    “we have become conditioned, in part because of OJ made in America, in part because of the last dance, to get this soup to nuts kind of story.”

Pretend It's a City: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (theme): Tiger → Pretend It's a City. Pretend It's a City, with its Spike Lee-Michael Jordan-as-artist archive, helps frame Tiger's moments as sublime, viewable only through footage.
    “I do think those Tiger Woods moments probably are this sublime, and to be able to see them again, as friendly boys kind of points out, is really the only way that you can”

Fun items about it

  1. fun, about Tiger: Amanda's husband Zach, a golf maniac, whoops quietly at every golf shot as they watch, like a gallery of one.

  3. fun, about Tiger: Amanda points out that the documentary shows a magazine photo shoot taken five days after the birth of his first child, which cannot have been accidental, and that a viewer has to look for the clue.
    “there is no way that a posed photo shoot is taken 5 days after the birth of a child without the participation and not just the participation, but the planning of the people involved.”
