He was great in that, I might re-watch that movie with just his scenes.

I wrote this on facebook, but I'm too lazy to write another few paragraphs to describe this amazing documentary.

Such an amazing documentary. Peaceful protests started by thousands of monks because of 2-3 monks being beaten by police. The number of protesters snowballed to reach more than 100,000 people walking the streets peacefully and even when the military used force, not once did the protesters turn violent. It's a shame that even after such powerful demonstrations the protests were quelled by the military. This documentary captures really powerful and moving parts of humanity. The power to respond to violence with peace with everyone joining together in the cause for change. People like this give me hope for humanity as a whole, only if it is a faint glimmer only to be snuffed out soon after. My heart goes out to people who still suffer under such rule. It's a shame, a shame great people like you have to live in fear because of your government who refuse to give up their power.

I will keep my eye out for this. I have not heard of it before but I love a well put together documentary no matter what the subject matter but when it is about a subject I don't know much about then there is much more reason for me to watch it.

After watching this, I was like wtf did I just watch. I will definitely re-watch it some time in the future because I didn't really walk away from it with any grasp on what was going on.

Finally got around to watching this and I loved it. My only small beef with it is that there are points when a lot of talking goes on but what they show on screen is only a few sentences when it seemed like a larger bit of dialogue occurred.

Is Naked Lunch celebrated because it's so off the wall or is it because it's a film so original that it is cool to mention it in threads like this to garner interest? The answer is both. Anyone with a passing interest in movies should watch this at least once.

A valiant attempt at filming a virtually unfilmable novel.

My mom had to watch a 10 minute segment of it for her health class, and I was quite interested in watching the whole thing after I overheard some of it. I'd always been seen as "effeminate", and maybe I am. I don't consider myself that way. I just say I'm Tim. With a brother who's the conventional beer drinking, country listening, and sports watching type, I've always felt a little bit different. Oh, and my other brother is the conventional beer drinking, ROCK listening, and sports watching type. He also weight lifts in his spare time and still hasn't settled down with a woman, though he's 30.

The film overall was quite enjoyable. I'm used to hearing about women in the media, whether it be incessant bullying from other girls or eating disorders and self esteem issues. It's almost as if men are going through the same thing, just a different way. I'm not keen to dissect its effectiveness, but rather just an interesting perspective on masculinity and the media. You can watch it in its entirety on Google Video.

I'd actually be quite interested in reading a book about this issue, if anybody knows of a good one.

Some fantastic suggestions in here, some films that I normally wouldn't have ever stumbled accross, but I'm very interested in anyway. Cheers guys.
