It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Absolutely the worst movie.
I can't even find the right adjectives to describe this documentary. I was able to live the adventure that Joe was undertaking, living for the moment, putting trust in perfect strangers hands, and be awashed in the generosity of others. Absolutely a worthwhile watch when you feel like you have had enough of the human race and their lack of humanity. This documentary rewards you in ways you didn't think possible!
not many folks have written reviews so I'd just like to affirm what they have said about encouraging their belief in the goodness in humanity - it has definitely affected the way I view the world.it's not meant to be some artsy pretentious crap - Joe is honest, and authentic, and he is not preoccupied with seeming cool- you can tell that he wanted to make this documentary for the Right Reasons instead of the wrong onesmaybe this will inspire your own adventure and it echoes of and reaffirms what I have learned on some of my owngood job joe
I felt like there may have been a Heisenberg factor throughout the show, that is the fact that people are aware that a camera could be recording them so perhaps they would act differently (I would suspect they'd be nicer)? Nevertheless, overall it was a very intriguing, honest and perspective altering show frankly. I mean people really did offer to do things without knowing that he was writing a documentary.I think I liked this documentary so much because it was more of an experiment for a given hypothesis rather than an investigation trying to convince you of something. I guess it was trying to convince me that there is good in the world and well it pretty much worked! That doesn't mean tomorrow I am going to go on Craigslist and do what he did, but I think there was something valuable to take away? :)
As much as I looked forward to watching this, I was shocked that there was no mention about his calling credit.I myself struggle to put calling credit on my phone.Sometimes, I go a month or two without any calling credit at all, and while I do get credit, its only due to my mother feeling sorry for me.So my question is, how can this guy, go out there, unarmed, and unprepared, survive without calling credit on his phone.As asked above, how would this individual manage without any calling credit, or the land-line he is reliant on.?I feel that the whole DVD and film is a fares, and that there are people out there that need more exposure! Period!
