    I love how this movie is simple, minimal and on point. Tells you that you do not need to exaggerate a movie to tell a story.

    Didn't do a thing for me in terms of connecting a terrible experience and a desire to end one's life in a garden. Gardening, to me, is such a personal experience of touching the earth, struggling to get it fit to grow beautiful things...and as I age, I find the struggle not only helps me think about and come to grips with some of the terrible things that have happened in my life but to also to learn to accept that I cannot physically do what I used to be able to do. And yet no matter what I can still create beauty there. I could not see any of this man in this garden...it lacked connection...he clearly was too infirm to be able to do much gardening and that was a massive garden. But that's just me. I think the idea was that when he fell into the church yard (which probably held graves) it was such a peaceful place after the terror he had just experienced that is affected him deeply, and that gardens bring that peace back to him. That is beautiful.

    Mark Dextraze is God’s Gift to ALL OF US. He shows us that there is something uniquely wonderful about each and every one of us. Much like Fred Rogers (Mr.Rogers from PBS) did his whole life, Mark and his family are sending out a real message to humanity.... focus on the abilities and not the disabilities. We all have so much to share and learn from one another when we try to step into another person’s world. They are real insights into many worlds, some of which cannot be learned from books. God Bless the Courageous and the Kind. Thank you for adding to my world.

      Today in class we watched this documentary and these are called Performative documentaries where it's more personal and subjective in nature.

    • @Mmmmkay126
      @Mmmmkay126 5 років тому

      @@zimik832 Not performative, that would involve the director him/herself engaged in the documentary. This would be a biopic with a huge emphasis on cinematic imagery and scenic/environmental shots and a limited scope.

    But why did you blurr out the background at the interview scenes.
    Would be way better if you had either left it like you recorded it or done it with depth of field.
    But like i said brillant job

    • @TallstoryfilmsAus
      @TallstoryfilmsAus  6 років тому +6

      Thanks! Interview scenes were actually shot on a zoom lens so the background blur in the interview is all in camera. I’m a big fan of soft backgrounds, find it keeps the focus on the subject where it should be.
