Are you lonely?

Sometimes I don't have the patience to watch the documentary because it's a bit long, and most of the ending parts can only be swallowed, unless there are some unexpected plots that can rekindle my interest. Although this documentary is a task assigned by the teacher, it is indeed a good documentary. Her classic black-and-white film photos, with their unique graininess and her own understanding, create one stunning photo after another, and in the photos, there are traces of time and eternity. At the end, I didn't even know why. The person who can take such a photo ended up spending her life like that. She may be too sensitive, she does things boldly and strangely, and she is very concerned about politics and what people think about big things. She is bold, she loves to observe, she is always holding up her camera and recording the special scene in her eyes. The film can even fill the garage, I can't imagine how many photos she has taken and how many landscapes she has seen. Some people will say that her life is lonely, and it is very likely that it comes from her family, that mysterious family, and she is not used to getting along with her family, but her photos have the beauty and warmth in her eyes. She's not perfect, she has reached a neurotic level with her touch with men, and because of being a nanny in many families and getting fired, she may even have a mental illness, but who's fault is this? Woolen cloth?

    "I can't help but to feel a little uncomfortable or guilty exposing the work of a person who did not want to be exposed." "I find the mystery of it more interesting than her work itself. I'd love to know more about this person. And I don't think you can do through her work.”

    highly recommended! Ever since I saw Vivian Maier's film photography in 2011, I was deeply shocked. The last time I saw such a shocking photography collection was Cartier-Bresson. Today I watched a documentary about her, and the last time I saw such a shocking documentary was searching for sugar man. I recommend it to all students who like film photography.
