The scene that really hit me here was when the main character's friend was telling her what a great life she lived. She was so pensive about her death, being in her late age, and she conveyed it so perfectly. My life is coming to a close, and when I look back on it, the things that come to mind are these simple, quiet moments that no one else has seen. A simple moment where I was at the mouth of a cave, looking up, and the birds flew over and it felt like I was flying. As a nomad, we all experience moments like these without any other soul nearby, so sometimes it feels lonely not to share such an important, blissful memory with someone else. But that is kind of what being a nomad is all about. The quiet tree that falls without making a sound.

A Journey to Planet Sanity
(2013)
Easy AND breezy, hmmm....
6 December 2013
I thought this movie was going to be a lot like Religulous (which I did like) but it was definitely more... theatrical? Meaning there were a lot of moving/sentimental moments that I did not expect. It deals with paranormal, crop circles, aliens, ghosts (not explored very well though), voodoo, God, doomsday, etc.
I learned to love each of these special characters and I think Blake Freeman takes the viewer on a fun, silly, random, and meaningful journey. It brought a lot of new perspective to me on how we live our lives. I know, this is very strange commentary for this particular movie but when you see, you'll understand why.
Any criticisms would be for the cinematography I guess. It's sometimes guerrilla style shooting, which is understandable, but in a lot of places it doesn't seem to flow too easily or transition well. It's kind of like those adventures on Jackass. It often switches from home-video style to theatrical style which can be kind of confusing, but I took it for the better because it KEPT my attention. It's VERY EASY to say I was never bored or looking at my phone. I cared about where the characters went and what happened to them.
Definitely something I enjoyed and would recommend.
