Hi Shai,
Have you finished selecting film for the Kehillah synagogue this year (if you continue curating the event)? It just occurred to me that there is a documentary film called Cafe Nagler (2016), which the audience (and you) may be interested in. I watched it in the last Jerusalem Film Festival, and the DVD is available on Amazon.com at a reasonable price. It is humorous, structurally delicate, and reflective on the very form of documentary film.
I just got a copy as a possible term paper text for a documentary film course, and thought the film may be of some interest to you, if you haven’t watched it yet.
Happy weekend.
All best,
I really enjoyed this documentary because it made me realize just how lucky I am for the life I was given. It changed my perception of happiness in so many ways. It made me realize that I have more than I need to live a happy life. Other people around the world don’t have as nice of a house or even a house at all to live in and are so much happier than I am and that is something that sparked my attention. For example, the man who lives in India, Manoj Singh, he lives in what looks like poverty to me, but to him, he lives well. There are times where his family are only able to eat rice and he has no air conditioning in his home, but he still remains a very happy man. When he mentioned that there are times where his family only eats rice, it instantly made me feel awful because I have all the food in the world around me and I still take it for granted some days. I also take my family for granted at times. For instance, the man from Louisiana, his family and friends are what make him happy the most. He is simply grateful for them while
While the other films involved in the lesson also seemed intriguing, this one really affected me. It practically made it obligatory for me to discuss it while also providing people with the opportunity to learn more concerning the event.
This film really grabbed my interest by depicting real life situations and corruption in today’s
I enjoyed this film because while I was watching I forgot it was a scripted film and not a documentary. At times during the film I thought
4. Give your review of this documentary. What did or didn’t you like? Are there issues, opinions, or voices that are left
Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy do a fantastic job in this immensely subtle film, in which hardly any of the most important information is carried in the dialogue and in which body language, tone of voice or the look in an eye can be the most important thing in a scene. After being surrounded by many movies in which shallow and violent individuals deny their humanity, watching this film has changed my
The film itself is a documentary, meaning every moment has historically happened. The film is full of facts and elements that touches the heart. A reliable christian company has produced the movie, and has won many awards making it trustworthy. Though there are some facts there are also drama and opinions. Glady the movie uses facts to prove their opinions. The design of the movie feels very organized and formal. The film is a reliable source for the movie itself is just a visual record of historical events.
In the movie ,The human experience, is 3 differents experiences from homeless to abused children and many african people being sick. The experience the young man went through can really change how someone feels and change their mind set. This helps society a little by seeing other peoples point of view and how their is people who have it worst and we should value life and how we need to find who we are. We find healing and forgiveness by loving our self by valuing life how it is and making the best of it. We need to find our self to forgive and to heal to know that life is a treasure. We do mistakes and learn but sometimes we should have our feet in the ground and appreciate everything we have and the people that surround us because everyone is valuable.
My views on this heart moving film would be never to give up in life, and with the right amount of determination you can succeed anything. The film tells us the simple, but moving story with a skilled storyteller's voice. The great importance of their
Comment: I found this film very tough going- it is undoubtedly a well made film and has some clever and quirky moments. However I lost interest around halfway through the film and could not engage with the film and its clunky style. A lighter touch would have made a huge difference to the viewing experience. Perhaps as an artistic statement it deserves more than three stars but as a movie going experience it was only a little bit better than average.
This film was very tear-jerking and inspirational. There were many hidden symbols and themes throughout and it was interesting to view it from the perspective of an English child living in a country other than his own. It didn’t focus on one particular issue, but thoughtfully portrayed all aspects of P.K.’s life,
I learned a lot from it I think the movie is helpful. I personally did not know
Although most of the material was that in the movie related to something we have learned previously in the course, it still offered new insight to certain aspects. One of the things I liked most about the documentary was as stated before was its ability to incorporate relatively everything we learned in the class. Such as having people from other documentaries, books and articles. Another thing I liked about the documentary was how despite reviewing a lot of material, it also gave real-life accounts of what was going on during that time. Overall the documentary sparked the interest in me to understanding more about how minorities, homosexuals, and hemophiliacs were treated before after and during the AIDS
The documentary Forks Over Knives is one of the most interesting yet informational films I have seen regarding health and society today and I was intrigued since the second I turned it on. It made it so much easier to understand and conceptualize because the film followed patients and documented their success stories; you were forced to believe in its truth. I found it to be inspirational and motivational.
Before watching the movie, I have never heard of it before. I never knew it existed. Temple Grandin is another inspiring movie that I have been glad to have watched. It deals with the autism of a woman and tells the inspiration true story of her.
