				"I know I'm not the 
				best singer and I know I'm not the best dancer, but I'm not 
				interested in that. I'm interested in pushing people's buttons, 
				in being provocative and in being political." - 
				Madonna 
				Why watch this? 
				Love her or hate her... she's got something to say. 
				Plot Summary: 
				The documentary chronicles the personal and professional 
				experiences of Madonna during her 1990 "Blonde Ambition" 
				international concert tour. The film combines electrifying 
				on-stage musical numbers with intimate, behind-the-scenes 
				moments captured in black and white. It provides an unfiltered 
				look at her relationships with her entourage, dancers, and 
				family, revealing both the spectacle of her public persona and 
				her private life. Dad's Preview: 
				Here comes another damned strong woman. Why can't she just sing 
				and dance and shake her ass, like the rest? Madonna is good at 
				creating controversy. It fuels her. I, personally, love that 
				about her. In fact, I have recurring dreams where we are close 
				friends. During the Blonde Ambition tour, it can be 
				argued that she was at the top of her pop ascension. She was a 
				major concert draw, an actress, and dating Warren freakin' 
				Beatty. This quasi-documentary is both shamelessly staged and 
				brutally honest. It jumps from color to black and white. It's 
				tender and rude. but at no time does it shy away from this 
				simple fact: Madonna is a force of nature, and at some point, 
				you have to respect that. Here's to you, my little Italian 
				sweetheart. I'll see you at our next nocturnal visitation.
