Time Indefinite
Time Indefinite. Bummer, dude, bummer, I lost count of how many people died. I liked this documentary, the narration combined with the visual was very effective. I really liked the interview with the fireman. It had all the times of the original event present, and reflective present all in one scene. The rest of the documentary with the past and reflective narrative is good, but the extra point of view i s interesting. I like how the focus of the documentary is rarely on the narrator, enven though he is the one telling and showing the story.Having footage of all the events in the film gives the documentary credibility in a way that a writtern piece can't really have. the lack of filter and focus on selection is osomething that is foreign to writing. In written pieces there's always the interpretation of the author and reader on top of the selection of scene of the author, but in film, there is only the interpretation of the "reader" and selection of scene to think about. What that does exactly to credibility, I'm not entirely sure. The ilm gives a concreteness to the subject, even during the interviews, there's something concrete and indisputable about those accounts of events.
