Last week kicked off an unexpected obsession with documentaries and the various humanoidal subjects they depict. On the off chance that sounded derogatory I meant only that the people I've been watching are more interesting, genuine, and thought provoking than most persons I've encountered. They have a super-human quality better than any fiction. The documentaries I've been watching tend to be centered around one or two main subjects (people, not concepts neccessarily) with an emphasis on the individual, average, working class citizen. How and why this certain genre is so enthralling (to me anyways) and how it functions in the narration of daily life through different perspectives and motives is the aim of this project.
The following entries will generally be devoted to one film. I encourage commenting, calling bullshit, and other pertinent feedback. I promise not to have more than three glasses of wine before blogging. I hope this act of integrity will be shared with any commentators. Suggestions for films to watch would also be lovely if anyone feels so inclined.
