Spot on portrayals of of Lee & Scott

Rating: 9/10 (2 June 2013)

Liberace was a brilliantly gifted Maestro who never disappointed his fans despite the most viciously mean spirited and relentless attacks against Liberace's art, craft & personal life's flaw's. Critics misrepresenting themselves as knowledgeable in music, on any, level, only succeeded in showing their gross ignorance about Liberace's, or anybody's music career. Behind The Candelabra brought Liberace to life again, and humanized him again for his millions of fans who continue to appreciate the Maestro's brilliance in his art & craft. The lifelong dedication Liberace held for his art & craft fearlessly tore down barriers against high art in his quest to bring high art to the masses. Others before him, Chopin, Beethoven, Debussy, Mozart also were persecuted and very misunderstood nor appreciated for their cultural contributions to their art & craft. Mercifully what is most interesting to Liberace's fans here,is not what his critics think & say, that never ceases, as on these very pages here. Dostoyevsky put it best when he wrote in great detail how the masses most despise the art's, they pretend to revere. Maybe Liberace might never be truly recognized as the rosetta stone for piano music, he is. But, if it is not about art, surely it is a love story, and though shallow a love story, let's be honest, its very appropriate since it's not Liberace's point of view, But Scott Thorson's point of view that this story is all about. Also what is not said, is Scott Thorson's predatory penchant for stooping however low necessary to support his lifelong penchant as a dope addict. If were truly honest about pointing fingers then, though Liberace was deeply flawed, so was Scott and in the end the one cancels out the other and were left with a very tragic love story.
