Watch Human For Free

Overrated

Brilliant and touching

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

It was one of the most impressive papers I watched. Everyone is different and this difference is life.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand made the choice to give up completely to let the words of these men and women, freely frolic, opening their testimonies to the universal. To those who will oppose the length, the slowness of this film, I would advise them to slip into the meditative contemplation of these images, so little season in 2015, to my chagrin ...There are these battered women who have risen up after the torture, this prisoner who is waiting on death row and questioning the meaning of life, these former soldiers devastated by the violence lived, those survivors of the bombings or Of the death camps in Cambodia, those homosexuals who lived only in rejection, this former soldier who says his desire to kill again, those fixed glances which sometimes say madness or obsession. Everywhere, pain, suffering, death, the labor of an absolutely dramatic life, poverty that can not be imagined, the soil that a father joins, defeated, unable to feed his children.There are also these smiles, those shining skins, those deep eyes-black, blue, gold-those wonderful and vivid colors (the black skin of that African beauty under her pink veil) Happiness of the family, love, the beauty of the world that knows how to show oneself to those who really know how to look: Yann Arthus-Bertrand has managed the feat of showing us how similar we are all in the same boat- Earth...Two moments have reversed me: when a father in tears says that only the Love of the Other can save the world (Buddhism does not say anything else) and, towards the end, this black woman , Who confesses to living in poverty and offers to those who watch her to exchange their lives with hers, just to see ..A magnificent documentary, served by landscapes on the border of the real as they are magical (waves, deserts, Mongolian plains ... and this image of ending like tree of blood in the snow, or blood vessels caught in the Ice, breathtaking), which delivers existential, metaphysical and universal truths that will open up all those who will take the time to let themselves be embarked, to let their human sensibility take the helm.Thank you, Mr. Arthus-Bertrand, thank you for giving us this gift, even if it is not received without tears ...

I saw this movie at a friend's house. I wanted to convince myself it was fascinating and poignant, to make my friend happy, but all I got was frustrated. I was especially uncomfortable with the footage of people in third world countries waving to an aerial drone that probably cost more than they would ever make in their lives. The entire premise, distribution and financial support of this production is flawed in the same way that excessively materialist societies are doomed.The movie starts with an individual confessing to the camera about some very emotional aspects of his life, and I was expecting the rest of the movie to emulate the level of insight and personal reflection one would see in an Errol Morris documentary, but the very next shot after this is of FLAMINGOS. Several more flamingo shots ensue and one is left wondering what happened to the humans.There are shots of water, sand, and skies as well, all very artistic and beautifully photographed. They reminded me of the precious articles of clothing seen at the fundraisers for non-profit organizations. The shots had no use other than to signify a golly-gee token of beauty that would only be seen by the privileged few, and then stored in a big closet in some mansion out in the hills.In addition, there were some perplexing continuity issues with the editing. While the headshot of a person is being interviewed, the movie will cut to a headshot of a different person while they are still talking, and then another and another. One is left to wonder, who are these other people? Friends? Relatives? Pen pals?I suppose the intention of this film is to glorify the various aspects of "being" human, but I just didn't feel right through the whole thing. To be honest, I had a strange sensation of wanting to go to the bathroom the entire time I was watching it, even though I didn't need to go. The movie is not exactly boring, it's just a bit off kilter.

Very broad and deep viewing.The slow panning scenes and atmospheric music deliver a sublime high definition experience complimented and counterbalanced by short intimate accounts of very personal stories mostly about the individuals themselves and their sometimes incredible lives and at times harrowing experiences. So much so I had to pause for a break from the emotional intensity of some of the toughest stories.There are three volumes/films and I have only watched most of the way through the first so far. I wonder if the on-screen text is played/available in other languages because I saw them in English on Google Play and the multitude people telling their stories are truly drawn from all walks of life and corners of the world.A marvelous way to expand your view of humanity.
