I've listened to Steve Aoki's music for 6 years now and always been fascinated by his work. I didn't know much about him personally beside the one fact about his father's connection to Benihana. This was a great film to watch as I feel more connected to the artist himself and that he's a human being like everyone else. I understand him a lot more and I think the director and the crew did a great job at communicating that. It's worth watching to get to know one of the biggest names in the EDM/music industry. The man is a robot also, can't be human after watching this!
This is such an interesting documentary just becuase of the fact of the mans work ethic, after watching this I went straight to my first edm concert. Very worth the watch
I thought this movie was pretty decent, but the most intriguing parts were all about his father, Hiroaki "Rocky" Aoki. Someone needs to get a documentary going about that man. One of the most interesting men i've never heard about. He seems to have led a very crazy, adventurous life. Part of this documentary seems to be about Steve Aoki chasing the demons of his fathers high expectations.FYI, i don't know much about this music genre or the whole scene, so it might be more appealing for others. I just wanted to watch it to understand why tens of thousands of people are drawn to these venues. Still a bit confused by it all, though.
This documentary film tells the struggles of Steve Aoki to get to the world of fame in the DJ world. It details his super busy work schedule, his spectacular shows, his family and his professional life."I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" is incredibly personal and unbelievably detailed. Steve Aoki talks about his childhood, young adult years and his life after his success. It features numerous interviews with his mother, his siblings, his friends, his girlfriend and even footage of Steve Aoki with the governor of LA. That is really impressive. I have the feeling as if I know Steve way more, even at a personal level, despite not having met him. This documentary is not like other documentaries, which presents you with a public persona. It really shows Steve Aoki's life, it is like his detailed authorised biography. it is definitely worth a watch.
