The Five Obstructions

I think this documentary was okay, but it wasn't my favorite thing we watched this semester. I think this documentary would have been more enjoyable if you watch The Perfect Human beforehand so you could see more of the changes and creativeness of the different obstructions redone. I thought it was interesting however how Lars sets out to uncover Jorgen's facade as the perfect human and show he is really just a "human human." Though throughout the obstructions Jorgen doesn't make a mess as Lars hoped. And by the last obstruction we find that Lars admits that it wasn't Jorgen, but himself who he was trying to expose. In the letter, Lars writes, " As we all know, it's the attacker who really exposes himself." And he goes on to say that he himself was the one that was obstructed. And if I remember correctly, in the end he sees Jorgen actually as The Perfect Human. So overall I did enjoy it, just not my favorite.
