Edith+Eddie (2017)
Unanswered Questions
The documentary Edith and Eddie conveys the relationship between an interracial couple as well as the rights of the elderly. The filmmaker conveys these ideas by the use of symbolism for example; religious iconography that reinforces that Jesus is their only hope. The audio and mesmerizing music behind it makes a film that shows what a journey Edith and Eddie have been on. I feel the documentary has not put enough detail into the short film and that there is more background information.e.g. Family dynamics. The documentary made me feel confused and upset. I questioned myself and asked myself why they would try to pull them apart. I would recommend the documentary to others so they understand the rights of elderly and interracial couples. I do not think many people would enjoy it because it is a bit slow moving and hard to understand. It is more for Adults not for children that do not get bored easy.
Forest Man (2013)
A truly inspiring stroy
'Forest man' is an amazing story, which is truly inspiring. This Short documentary outlines Jadav Payeng's care and consideration for the conservation of the environment. Jadav Payeng used his own time to single handed plant a forest that is now bigger than central park. His story is very moving and inspiring and is very introspective. The music and slow paced filming recreates the time taken to create a forest on Maujili Island. I would recommend for you to watch this short documentary. This story is very touching and makes you question how lucky we really are to live in this world.
