I feel like Kurt belongs to Kim more than anyone else. Frances doesn't know him, friends don't see everything and Courtney and their mother seem like selfish users. Kim and Kurt seem very similar and have been through something, a life, that no-one else has. Poor Kim.
When I was in grade 6 elementary days my parents got divorced too I am so affected by that . There are times I just wanna I didn't express myself to others until I reach the aged of 21 . I just wanna quit
@Ana Parada Fuck Your Opinion And What You Stand For It's Not Their Fault That You're A Fucking Homophobe Racist Bigot With Alot Of Insecurities Fuck You And The State Of Texas Everything May Be Bigger There But A Whole Lot Of Unintelligence Psychologically Exists Where You Come From
What's Sad Is That People Who Are Talking Shit About Frances Are Insecure Themselves Frances Is Allowed To Live How Ever The Fuck She Wants To Same Goes For Everybody Else Vice Versa Quit Bitching About Stupid Shit And Live And Let Live!!!
God is good. Repent and believe the gospel. Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose from the dead. You can be forgiven. You must be born again. There was a woman who had an alabaster box of very precious ointment and she poured it on the head of Jesus. We need to honour the King. The Lord God. ”that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.“ John 3:15 KJV. The Lord Jesus Christ. Repent means change, change from sin. Turn away from sin. Love and fear God. Call on the name of Jesus Christ. Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you. He saved me. There is the lake of fire which is burning for eternity and there is heaven. I have eternal life in heaven because of what the Lord has done. Be ready for the day of judgement.
Kim seems like the most well-adjusted of everyone in this family. Good for her. It's baffling how trauma affects people so differently. How two people can endure the exact same thing & have two totally different outcomes.
Yeah, everyone is different. We all react differently. Who knows? Maybe if she was 3 years older, she would relate more to Kurt and have had a similar reaction to the divorce. Then again, maybe not.
Damn, Kurt got grounded from watching tv for a whole year by his dad ?? That is cruel and unusual punishment. Great insight into the family by Kim that wasn't in the film. Good stuff here.
I feel like Kim was getting so excited about talking about her brother! That was so cool to watch and listen to. I honestly imagined what those experiences would have been like for those two!
I always wondered what she was like. Seems like a down to earth and genuine person. I found it sad when she was reminiscing about the things they did together when they were younger, knowing how much she misses him. I lost a younger brother and you find yrself remembering old times and for a split second you want to call 'em up and talk to them but you can't. Sad.
I'm so sorry for your loss, stay strong, we are all here for you, stay strong, Sending all Love, Sending all Prayers🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I lost my brother after an accident 4 years ago and I agree with you......I find myself having out loud conversation's with him......he's still around even though I can't see him 💔💖
Kim: the master piece of Kurt's family. Genuine and true memories. Nothing else. Not narcisistic and liar like Wendy and Mrs Love are. This is real love (Kim's one). The other one sucks!
@UCFhThdlRmNX9CxMu5-PQzew Well, than you haven't seen her interact with her mother. There are some clips on RU-vid in which mother and daughter appear extremely codependant and insincere, like for example Kim completing and remembering her mothers sentences and memories. If you have watched Wendys speech of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame memorial for Nirvana you would understand how cold and umempathic and phony his entire family actually is. Knowing Kurts background, it's so obvious what a lying, narcissistic and manipulative woman Wendy actually was. There was also no signs of sorrow or pain from Kim which would indicate or acknowledge the loss of her brother. Just compare Krist to Kim/Wendy. Krist, to this day, is still heart-broken since the death of Kurt, you can see it in his eyes, face and body language. Even Courtney Love remembered a scene where Kurt overdosed in front of his mother and sister and both (!) just took the fuck off. Very loving behaviour isn't it? So yeah Kim is just as fucking bad as Wendy. Ironnically, my own mother and sister actually have the same kind of symbiotic and toxic mother/daughter relationship as this narcissist (Wendy) and narcissist enabler (Kim).
I had the exact same relationship with my older brother - tortured the hell outta me when I was kid. However, twenty years later we have an awesome relationship and couldn't be closer. Im so sorry you didn't have longer with him Kim, he loved you very much. Also - LEAVE HER ALONE! Saying "like" and "you know" is a sign of nervousness, and you damn would be if you were given your first interview about your brother who has passed, and was one of the biggest rockstars to have lived. She did great.
Love this,see this is what people forget. kurt was as human as the rest of us , and his sisters interview confirms it. Kurt always stood up for females especially in his music and interviews. And its really nice to see that since his death, his sister can sit down and give us an insight into the young kurt. And even after all the shit , she still has those fond memories of her brother. Thank you Kim I wish everyone was as honest about kurt as you.
that bond he had with his dad before his dad got married again probably made him feel forgotten and betrayed. I can relate to that in some extent with my sibling
Blinking is not always lying. Blinking while silent and constant "uuuuuh" "uuuums" or looking for answers is a sign of lying. The constant blinking from the mom and Courtney is from not wanting to talk about it and/or *GUILT*. Courtney is a lying bitch, yes, we know this, but she's also a recovering junkie and one of the most difficult aspects of sobriety is the overwhelming guilt for all the shit you did when you were an addict.
Kurt got grounded for a full year by his father from watching TV with the rest of the family because he forgot to feed the dog? No wonder he left home at 15.
Exactly. I was born the same Kurt's day (it's not important, but I tell that because is just a part of my story.....) I was iperactive too and my family didn't care....Too much military discipline and very little and cold love. During the years, I have had food disorders and than, sadly, heroin abuse. Love your children!! ADHD is a problem, but LOVE (real and pure love) is the best medicine in the world. Peace ❤️🌹🎵
@@Pennyroyal_T. man you are so right on time with the love. A dog born in my home that everyone pushed away my own son was gonna throw it in a dumpster when it was born, I wouldn't let him I raised it and have showered it with love, Now everywhere I go people love this dog , want it, want to buy it, pet it, love is what makes us glow and radiate more love..peace...
@@Pennyroyal_T. That's why I miss the early 90s. It was our time and it was like the children of the summer of love were making our voice heard world-wide. Kurt c. was merely months apart from my age, And his message hit home , it was anger @ a system that divides and pits us all against one another. the apathy, anger, frustration, All things we felt then kurt layed it out, he was literally screaming for there to be more love and to be loved.. Love is only real when given with no expectation of return, it comes purely from the heart .How can we have a loving society when a price is placed upon everything. Nirvana means enlightenment, only when we learn to love can we receive enlightenment
@@thedude7099If I may ask you, what type of dog? Any particular breed, or a mixed pup? The term "Heinz 57 " is used down here in the swamp for dogs, as well as humans.
Thanks for giving this interview Kim. As a teenager I would identify with Kurt, probably as many did. But, it's heartbreaking, as someone who is also very family oriented, to hear what happened to Kurt after the divorce. I think personally my soul would break into many pieces if such a thing happened to me at that age. Even now, I rely heavily on my family. Lets say I'm not surprised Kurt was having such a hard time, I would probably not get very old that way either. It's 'healing' in a way to hear from his (very sober and nice) sister, instead of the lunatics who claim to represent him.
I think it's totally unfair to use your own children as ammunition against your spouse. My parents aren't divorced, but by the amount of fighting they do, they should be. There have been numerous times where my mother would pin me against my own father as a way to hurt him during their arguments and say things like, "Your daughter hates you." and other things that couldn't be further from the truth. I've lived with it enough to know that my father trusts me enough to not believe the things my mother says and has said to him during their arguments, but those are just things that I don't think I could ever forgive my mother for saying just as ways to get back at my father when they're fighting. It's so morally wrong to do that to your own children and stuff like that can permanently divide families and add in distance and guilt between the children and their parents. I'd rather them be divorced than continue to mentally and verbally abuse each other and subject us to it for the rest of our lives and leave us with the emotional and mental scars in the end of it all. My parents should have never gotten married.
Couldn't agree more. This is my mothers m.o. and even after all these years is still a problem (even after 3 marriages.) I can understand if it's something that happens when a person is younger and they learn from it and stop the behavior, but that never happened. It actually got worse with my younger brothers and sister. It's funny growing up and looking to your parents as these "adults" who you listen to etc, but after a while you start to see them more as just another person who makes mistakes and doesn't have things figured out either.
Brittany Loveless I hear ya... no one, no family and no childhood is perfect... my family life growing up was heavy. Lots of verbal and emotional abuse and a lot head games, mostly from my stepmother in an attempt to get my sister and I to move out and in with my mother full time. This was when I was ages 8 through 16 when I finally left. My dad could be just as bad or he just didn't want to know. My half siblings were treated infinitely better, got more, did more, etc. etc. But as you get older you see things clearer and learn to let it go (as much as possible) or it'll eat you up. Believe me, I'm grown and with a family of my own and while I'm nothing but supportive and loving to my kids, I can still feel the effects of being put down everyday and by the people who are supposed to raise, love and protect you. It's not easy but ya can't change it. If I could somehow go back and tell my younger self anything, it'd be to "not let shit get to ya, it doesn't matter cause one day it'll be all over and in the past." May not seem like it at the time but it does end. Hang in there.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post and share your experience as well. Hopefully someday I can put it behind me and use my childhood as an example for something to never repeat. Thanks for the advice!
I agree. Although I'll always love them in their own individual way I can't stand them as a couple just because of the amount of poison that's devoured their marriage. My mom's an alcoholic which is what I believe to be one of the main reasons why their marriage has deteriorated. It sucks, it's sad and it's hard, but the only good thing I can really get out of it is a picture that I'll be sure to never paint in my future. Thanks for reading and replying. I didn't think anyone would.
i wonder if she'll ever write a book. her perspective and her life would be interesting, especially her thoughts on what happened during childhood when her brother was basically abandoned by his parents.
i have a feeling it was his step mom, she didnt like kurt getting attention from his Dad. the step mom in my opinion was jealous how close kurt and don were, when you watch the interview with his dad and step mom and shes basically slamming kurt watch dons hand on the arm of the sofa when he squeezes it, hes clearly upset w/her.
A documentary is never a good representation of reality. even if it looks real. Especially when the people which it's about are NOT THERE ANYMORE to speak for themselves. The images are wisely chosen , the cut, the montage itself... This documentary is only one side of Cobain, please don't forget it people.
Montage made me physically sick to my stomach. Nothing but lies and it wasn't even hidden.. It's like let's make him out to be 100% worse than he was! Ewww
Her not getting any money from nirvana's legacy was a good thing. It allowed her to not get dragged from the toxicity it involved and could maintain a balanced memory of him.
Guys I just realized something! I notice that the mother and the sister quote phrases from a documentary about Kurt where he tells anecdotes. “kurt about a son “. curiously it seems that montage was an "imitation" with a better budget of “About a son”. (montage tells what Courtney wanted to be told) obviously 🙄
I think she's part of the most sincere interviewees in the documentary. Along with Krist and Tracy Marander, Kurt's sister seems very honest. As to Wendy (Kurt´s mom) and Courtney Love, no comments (don´t hate Courtney, by the way), but i don´t believe her typical hyperbolic stuff she claims in the footage...image wash both of them. The only thing that i do not agree with Kim is that Kurt wanted the family, but then he didin't, like fighting against what he really wanted. I don´t see it that way, and it's well documented that Kurt behaved in a rebellious way (with a good reason), cause his mom gave him a hard time, especially his boyfriends, which were complete close minded morons, and they treated him badly.
Jeez - fancy grounding your own son for a year - a whole year !! A sticking rigidly to it - that’s just so cruel, spiteful and mean spirited of Kurt’s father. How horribly humiliating - no goddamn wonder Kurt hated being humiliated in later years. Makes complete sense as a child’s mind is so vulnerable and ill equipped to deal with the cruel and belittling ways of an adult bent on bringing punishment down on them. I’ll always hate those ppl/parents who’ve resorted to this type of abuse. It’s just so not fucking on !!! Peace !! Rx
Agreed, Brett Morgen has access to these people who knew Kurt personally but the interviews seem so awkward and stiff that we learn very little new of this fascinating person. Too bad. It is very nice to hear from Kim, and hers seems the best of the "extended interviews". Off Camera with Sam Jones gets such interesting little insights into the person being interviewed. Brett Morgen seems clueless. :>/
Elena Reed isn't if he is clueless or if Courtney had more hands into it than what has been admitted too. Either way hopefully we get more soon or someday
Daniel Malone I agree about the interview the ones he included were way too dramatic especially the ones with his mom which were obviously lies But the music he nailed The art and music went together perfectly
No Kim I "don't" know. I don't know anything about your family except for the fact that your brother is an absolute legend and will be remembered until the end of time.
My dad left my mom for another man. And my mother blamed me for it because I was the oldest. I also picked on my little brother especially when he'd behead my Barbie dolls. 🤷♀️
The zen mode of looking at this happenstance might factor in the canine's pangs of hunger, having an effect on Kurt's psyche. Ever action, and event of our lives has meaning, at least in so far as likely having no meaning whatsoever. It's dependent on what is this entity of "meaning". All and everything so fraught with existential dilemna
The only people i have seen celebrating Kurt Cobain are Kim Cobain and Dave Grohl and i guess that's what we really need to do, rather than calling out on his wife, daughter, mother and father. They really don't matter while and they shouldn't while talking about Kurt. Ofc, sympathy should be there, but yea... just my 2 cents.
Watching the WoO on psychedelic drugs can be most enlightening. You must remember beforehand to document your revelations, whilst watching the film..Once I watched it on mescaline, and it was oh so epic. It's beneficial to believe that you've discovered some universal truth(es) even if you were mistaken, and merely loaded. I think such delusion necessary to eventually gain perspective, which might to your perception of the actions that you take, relative to where you are, especially when in opposition to where it is that you truly want to be. Ergo edging ever nigh to enlightenment.
nice interview...the mom always says kurts dad was really harsh and critical of kurt,,,kim doesn't say that much of that in this interview,,and kurt gets along with the dad the first year living with him after the divorce so iam sure the truth lies someone in the middle
Kurt did interviews... I think it's called About a Son... Check that.. Kurt said worse things about his dad. Like smacking him upside the head if he spilt a drink, and forcing him to write with his right hand. That's why he played guitar left but writes with his right hand.
lol I flipped my middle finger to my kindergarten teacher 😂😂😂 she got up and pulled me by my right ear and took me to the principals office and they called my mom and I got made fun of when we all had recess because I couldn't play and had to sit next to a classroom and I just sat watching the other kids play while I got laughed at😥😥😥
I don't get it....after watching heck I got the vibe that kurt and his sisters mother and father where selfish,both in different ways.....what I don't get is Kurt and his sister feel so opposite from them........... kurts sister seems so cool just like her big brother 💖
She’s his sister and seems pretty mellow, like she’d probably not want the media hounding her constantly. I think he was probably just respectful of her.
he was kept from her a large portion of his childhood as she lived with the mother and he was with his father until they started passing him around and not giving a shit about him anymore. kim was kept away and i think he wanted to keep her protected in a way too because she was innocent of all the chaos and abuse.
