Jisoe (2005)
What has the world come to .
Before I begin I just want to say this is in no fact a critical analysis of the film Jisoe it is just a message. For who would I be to criticise jisoes actions, that would be some sort of heartless and relentless memento for the Internet to read .This isn't a movie nor is it a documentary . its an unwillingly attempt to show the world the psychological affairs of a bruised human with all the all the same bones and bearings as the next person. It is no debate that this footage is released on ethical grounds, however the world isn't fair ....
Jisoe is a smack to your head with a bruising bash of depression and a necessity for local and a greater social justice . It is an authentic documentation of evolution and life and should be a great wake up call to the greater public . Jisoe is passively and hopelessly awaiting our approval and help but again and again, us as a society fail him . I see Jisoe on the streets of melbourne regularly and am reminded that he is a soul like the rest of us . Just take a second to imagine if your life was documented so intimately and uploaded on the internet for the entire world to be viewed as entertainment and comedic references . We need to look beyond our own ignorance and ego and realise the irony that we live in. WAKE UP LADS
In My Blood It Runs (2019)
Quality documented visual information
It is footage and interviews compiled together to create a coherent story of a young indigenous boy dismantled by the system . If you are interested in indigenous culture and or social justice regarding this, then this is a great source of information . The director has filmed real life moments with real people and is displaying it simply as that, without any regard to modern art or societal expectations. A documentary needs to practically succeed in two things, that being interesting content and coherency with the exception of emotional attachment / meaningful awareness aswell . this documentary succeeds in all three critical aspects . I would rate this film 10, but the fact that is a documentary defies my IMDB ethos .
Somersault (2004)
Fascinating to a local
Despite the films numerous cliches, horrible Australian accents and gratuitous scenes the cinematography still takes the power and drives this film home without a need of a drink.
