This film should win every award ever given. It is so up close and personal, such an intimate portrayal of a family with so much love and respect for each other.
I held on to every word Eli said; he was so very lucid in the body that held him prisoner, and his quick and hilarious wit will never leave him. He was the same kind, funny and thoughtful man he had always been. His lifelong-loving wife, Lisa, and his children and grandchildren loved him so, and were a constant in his life.
We cried because he felt bad about his past grievances, and because it hurt so much to see him in so much pain (but still putting out the quick quips). His daughter, Rabbi Rachel, assisted him in letting go of his guilt and shame,; to allow his soul and spirit to become light.
It was just such a private peek at how a wonderful man lived his life, the decisions he was very clearly insisting on, and all of the immediate support and true love his family and loved ones and close friends gave him. He set a lifelong example for others to emulate and share.
Eli was the real thing. He is loved and missed by thousands of people whose lives he affected positively. After this film is out, hundreds of thousands of people will get to see what a moral, unconditionally loving, extremely intelligent man he was. The way our planet of humans should live their lives, every day.
Al in all, it truly does deserve an award. The best independent non-fiction film we have ever seen.
