This film was incredibly confusing for me. Firstly, I really wish that they had made us more familiar with The Perfect Human before going into the sequences about the obstructions. Without proper background, it made it very hard to follow the film and understand what was supposed to be going on. Secondly, the only way that I could keep myself entertained during this film is to think of it as some sort of reality game show-esque documentary, you know, something along the lines of America's Next Top Model meets Sweet Genius or something like that. It seemed much more like a "mockumentary" than a documentary, an aspect that really bothered me the whole time I was watching it. There just seemed like there was something off and really scripted about all of the dialogue scenes, and that was very unsettling for me.
I appreciated the creative way the original version of Jorgen's film "The Perfect Human" was included in smaller bits throughout the film. However, I agree that without having seen the film in its entirety it became confusing at times. As a whole, I found it to be a very poignant and genuine documentary.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it made it confusing but I agree it would be better to actually watch "The Perfect Human" beforehand. But I do agree some of it felt very scripted, but overall I liked it.
