This was an amazing documentary. I can’t believe that he edited this on iMovie. It makes me wish I had recorded all of my life on video (not that mine was as half as interesting as his at ALL) or started to work with film or something a long time ago. Since he had such good access, obviously to this footage as well as to his mother, it seemed like it was very easy to know how to edit this and how to splice them together for dramatic effect.
The whole doc is something like what Hunter S. Thompson might have been like as a child/young-man before he became a huge drug addict rock journalist. I know this may have been because of the speed at which the film he was using was changing rapidly (the video quality changed a lot) but I liked the quality it had.
Even though my life may not have had as much events as his life had, it made me want to record my own experiences. These are the kind of docs which really let you into someone’s life and feels very personal and seems like a way that you can connect with other people. Or know that someone might be experiencing something far worse than you.
