The motif of the film is the sound volume that Harvey Milk created in his mission of being a pioneer to become the first openly gay politician in San Francisco. The object in mind is the megaphone, as a friend sitting close to me says "milkaphone" as he speaks to crowd and the media. The device is the personification of him.
He was determined to be heard by everyone. His leadership regardless of hate and repulsion by others stood as a pivotal moment in gay rights. It was a turning point for others to have equality in terms of gay marriages and the allocation of medical benefits in today's society.
I enjoyed viewing the documentary as I watched the adapted film as well. I believe that the footage and coverage were well-studied by the filmmakers and its actors and actresses.
In terms of content, I immensely enjoyed the historical and documentation of his life as well as the acted parts. I felt the combination of the two solidified the fact and fictional (in terms in enhancement) portrayal. Milk fully fits the role of a bull in a Spanish or Argentinan area where he charges at any rug or signs containing a bulls eye or target on and also teases him. I think that creativity and success of a film and its characters is to emphasize and amplify their volumes to be heard and understood. It can be simple yet speaks to a whole sleuth of all audiences. I would like to give an example of an amphitheater.
One can stand in any section and hear fully the performance on stage. A film should carry the same effect. A small, diminutive part can completely surround everything and everyone in its gigantic Doppler effect of the live and/or recorded event. Think about how the characters in a film are the integral yet fraction, sliced part of the story yet on screen or stage; audiences are drawn in by words, expressions, emotions, and changing character arcs. The settings are larger then the people yet the characters carry the film. This film successfully pinpoints Milk and his supporting group from his young friend companion, his surrounding friends, the citizens of San Francisco, the government including his murderer as the story along with the city landscape.

He Makes Me Feel Like Dancin with Jacques d'Amboise
The great energy of the documentary strikes a chord of enthusiasm and motivation for the audience. The glimpse of choreographed dance routines through the direction of an American ballet star Jacques d'Amboise captivates the viewer to be one of his dancers in the studio. The smiles, the happy music, jumping, body movements, and positivity draw me to dance. At this moment, I feel like dancing myself. I define with the film due to my upbringing of ballet and adult life of Jazzercise, step aerobics, Modern dance experiences in college, and current NIA dance classes and videos.
The subject in the film is a lively one which gives its own certain beat for audiences. The contents inspire me to take a lovely walk down to the beach and have my own dance with the iPhone camera, body movements, and the surrounding environments.

Just Another Missing Kid
The storyline weaved professional journalism and filmmaking together to create a mysterious yet edge on your seat path of a missing teenager. Eric Wilson left Canada and was headed to Boulder, Colorado. Along the way, he disappeared along his journey in Nebraska. The film showed news casts of his family's search for him. The realism and timing of editing from the filmmaker direct the audience to feel a real-time account of a missing kid.
The beauty of a film is when the subject matter can make a viewer feel as if the incident is happening now or a similar situation can be occurring tomorrow. I compare a quality of a film in mere of a great song which can transcend throughout a lifetime. A song produced fifty years ago can be relatable and pull the strings of someone's emotions from time when it was released to current times.
I enjoyed being bombarded by the evidence leading to his death by clues and interviews of investigators. Unfortunately, he was found murdered. Although there is a sad ending for the film, I learned how one can edit and put together a film to make the audience drawn in for a hour and an half as we witnessed the news first hand as we stay glued to a major news event.
Sometimes, I watch on youTube the September 11th, 2001 incident with the twin towers and relive the terrifying and horrifying event from people jumping out of the buildings after the planes. Imagine stitching that contents together with today's interviews of the families affected by the tragedy. The content is a challenging art form within itself. The brilliance of this film caused me to rethink and refine the frames and thoughts of the whole concept of filmmaking.

Genocide
Genocide
The horrifying contents of this film are narrated by the voices of two well-known artists. Elizabeth Taylor and Orson Welles guide the audience to witness throughout the scenes of the Holocaust event. Stories are retold throughout detailed accounts from letters, journals, and remembrances of survivors.
As a viewer of the documentary, I was captured by the terrible ordeals and sufferings of the victims and survivors. The subject placed myself in a mode of profound thought on how a controlled situation of genocide could exist and be sustained by mere words and actions of one man. The power that overcame Europe existed not too long ago.
We all know the source and cause of the Holocaust existed in Adolf Hitler. Yet, history often tries to find the root of the reasoning behind the murders of innocent people due to their heritage and background. My question is how men can psychologically exist in a certain mindset and in course of his lifetime, he changed for evil? Does man relive a past dire situation then become fixated on the occurrence until insanity sets in? Did Hitler have a hidden obsession of destroying a certain race due to childhood embarrassment of ridicule? Historians sourced the reason to his felt outwardly rejection from the insides of the art world. At a young age, he was not accepted into an art school which in return he took control of Parisian, Italian, German, and other genius types of masterpieces. He practically destroyed the artists who did not escape from his wrath.
I ponder whether this could be changed. Can we prevent major incidents in the history by accepting all and nourishing their strengths instead of weaknesses? Do we have no control on how a man accepts his behavior and projected his evils onto the world?
What we have control is seeing these murders in a documentary. We can learn from lessons from before. Our actions are our choices to remain the same or change. I completely sympathize the past especially seeing the awful scenes of women, children, and men being starved, beaten, and killed. It is almost unbearable to view that mankind could be dehumanized.
The film was edited and narrated in a great historical recount of the Holocaust. The contents conjured up the curiosity on exploring and finding stories on the event and visiting more museums based on anti-Semitism. Simon Wiesenthal Center funded the film projects. I hope to one day to visit the center in Manhattan after viewing films based on the Holocaust due to this documentary blog journey.

From Mao to Mozart: Isaac Stern in China
If you are a classical music enthusiast, the name Isaac Stern should already exist in your musical vocabulary. His name rings recognition and great stature. I first came across the documentary when I was looking through the shelf at my local library in Washington state. I read his name and smiled. Eventually, I purchased the DVD due to my liking.
As I watched the documentary, I came across another familiar name - the famous Yo Yo Ma. I was able to learn about a favorite cellist - Jian Wang. The focus of the film was to follow Stern's trip in China as he taught a new modern way of playing to Chinese orchestra players. China opened their doors for new thinking.
The players were on a rigid regime of precise and perfection on their note playing. Yo Yo Ma and Jian Wang were young students during the filming.
Stern came in and showed how to play with the emotions and creativity. There was a struggle for the players since they are based on a certain techniques and musical methods. The Western thinking meeting the Eastern methods made the film remarkable and pivotal on changing cultural thoughts and education.
I had the pleasure of seeing both Yo Yo Ma and Wang in their performances. My heart always stops and enjoys their movements and breath through the cello.

Best Boy
The subject of the documentary is a handicapped 52 years old man who lives his life under the care of his parents. They have been his caregivers and raised him without teaching viable life skills. After being warned, the film displays the progression of a dependent man on becoming independent once his elderly parents die.
At the time, I didn't have a magnetic attraction to the contents. I am far removed from any disabled or handicapped people. I do have a caring heart for ones who I do meet. Now, I believe that I somehow have a connection. The past week, I have been bedridden with limited restrictions of movement and unable to walk more than 1000 feet. I cannot even walk up and down the stairs without stopping. I become very dizzy and weak.
I, myself, became physically disabled. Unfortunately, I lost an overwhelming, dangerous, and severe level of blood which in return could have caused a heart attack or stroke. There were three times that I thought that I was going to blank out and die. Adding to the dire situation, I asked for someone to watch over me in case I needed emergency help. Unfortunately, there is no one near me to do the good act. At the same time, I am terribly stubborn and independent when it comes the time when others must take care of me and going to the emergency room. This incident gave me the realization of developing stronger relationships with nurturing, caring people around me. I value what I have in my life now. I hold on to dear life. I look forward to recovering and healing 100% in the next week. I am lucky that I didn't become permanently disabled.
Perhaps, I need to do more charity work and have good friends who are nurses, volunteers, and doctors. I have those types of friends in the northwest, Hawaii, Oregon, and Boston. All who wanted to help are from areas outside of California. I find the latest documentaries on the Academy list on helping the less unfortunate is an amazing, unselfish and altruistic act that someone chooses to do in his or her life. I admire the parents who will do anything for their children to provide them a good life.
Being bedridden and thinking about life, I really value the love and care of my parents and the friends who always have been there. I could say that the film displays the affection and responsibilities of one has for their child. In return, they were able to care for the man to live independently. I feel the same about my parents. I would like to view the contents again to truly feel the love of a child even at an adult age and limited conditions.

Scared Straight!
The film follows a group of troubled teenagers as they visit a local prison. The focus of the program is to literally scared the teenagers from leading down a criminal path. They are shown where prisoners live in dire conditions. The prisoners even use scared tactics and threats so the children do not end up in the same place.
The documentary should be a requirement in the classroom for students whether they possess good or bad behavior. I know a few parents who are battling with teenaged children who are addicted to drugs and alcohol; then run away from home. They live a criminal life on the streets. It is heartbreaking to hear these stories. The parents are completely helpless and live steady lives from being a nurse to owning companies. After viewing the film, sometimes, I wonder if I should recommend the film. Majority of the time, they have to spend money on a rehabilitation center for the child. But unfortunately, the teenager ends up back on the streets.
Although I hear heartbreaking, struggling stories, I believe that the documentary really demonstrates a successful intervention program. At the end, they interview the teenagers before and after. Many of them steer away from crime. They do not want to live rest of their lives in prison. Some wasn't so lucky. Overall, the program does help many teenagers as they interview them as successful adults.

Who Are the Debolts? And Where Did They Get Nineteen Kids?
Humanity with unconditional love was shown in a family who adopted orphans from other countries. The special part of the adoption came from the children who were severely disabled from wars. Henry Winkler from the Happy Days television series, narrated and produced the documentary. The film crew lived and filmed their daily lives for two and a half years.
The children either were missing limbs, blind, and other abnormalities. As I sit here writing about this documentary, I viewed a recorded segment which was powerful and impactful.
Today, I watched an online streaming interview with Zelda Williams, the daughter of the late Robin Williams, on the Today Show. She talked about Williams' charitable work especially in the Paralympics. He always shown his love and time with people besides his comedy work. He would encourage people who lost their limbs to race next year. She emphasized his passion for helping people in need and how she will continue with a foundation.
I found both in the documentary and the interview quite remarkable how humans forego their egos and worldly ambitions and take the time to help others. I saw the strength of the couple who give all their love and time to the children to make a better life for them. I am realizing how important and pertinent charity work must exist in our society. Williams and the family are great humans who we strive to become vital, outstanding citizens of the world.

Academy Awards 2015 Inspiration and Achievement
This past weekend, the Academy Awards took placed at Dolby Theatre. Even though, I wasn't in the crimson red seating and seeing the golden curtains and statues. Perhaps one day, I will be there if my art is accepted and flourished with growth. I was able to visit the theater many times over during the preparations. The film Citizenfour won the 2015 award. I saw the film at Sundance Sunset Cinema and listened to the director at Santa Barbara Film Festival. There was one film which epitomizes my history - Last Days in Vietnam; it was nominated. This nomination strengthen my drive to become a filmmaker.
Personally, my life has changed since I took a break from blogging in August 2014. But I continued watching the films. I am proud to say that I watched 20 Feet from Stardom; in return, finished my goal of watching every documentary film that won an Academy Award in Best Documentary Feature. Granted, I had to skip over a few which I will go back and watch them in the next month. I couldn't find some films especially the Dr. Seuss and Robert Frost ones. Now - I am making the time to blog about the films since I stopped.
In good fortune, these films have shaped and tunneled my future towards filmmaking. To my surprise, I was able to partake in the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. I had a dream that I was going to the festival. As I was browsing the web about the event, I didn't see a trip to Park City, Utah as a possibility and forego the idea.
Months later, I made the trip happen. I was able to view fantastic films, made great contacts, and further my mind into the world of filmmaking. Before the festival, I came across many great contacts via Q and A sessions, attended the Palm Springs Film Festival (great films and contacts), having contact references from my previous screenwriting class, concerts, online platforms, and mere rare encounters. I also attended the Santa Barbara Film Festival where I was able to connect with others through a guest speaker at my previous class. I was impressed that a well-known director walked me back to my car.
The week following the SBIFF, I was able to direct with Arri cameras. Everyone asked me if I went to film school. They complimented me that I am a natural director.
I have a whole stack of contacts after my experiences. I am completely impressed about their experiences as I am slowly contacting them. Many of them attended American Film Institute Conservatory, USC, UCLA, NYU, London Film School, and Stanford. They felt very comfortable and impressed by me.
Many times, I do not realize that someone in importance is standing before me. A conversation strikes; then I made a contact with a successful person in the industry. One person kept on kicking my seat as I was watching a foreign film. After the credits, I basically told him that he needs to read my writing because he was kicking my seat throughout the film and I know who he is. Side note - He is definitely a kicker in his films.
He chuckled. He read and gave me his business contact information. I was able to meet him and his crew at Sundance. I also ran into a famous rapper at 1 a.m. at Winchell's Donut Shop which in return I met two directors at Sundance as well. We were waiting to be serviced. A couple took twenty minutes to pick out their donuts. He and I started to make jingles and raps on the colors and flavors of the donuts. It was fun. I left after I got my donut. I was sitting in the car and chopping down my treat. He gets in his car. Then he rolls down his window. I look over - he is smiling. Then he asked me if I know who he is. I said, "Yes, the man who I jingled with in the donut shop." He laughed. We talked. I received his contact information. Then he texted a director about me later that night. He introduced me to one of them because I told him about one of my screenplays and asked him if he would like to make a song for a scene. He said, "Yes because you're pretty." I was blushing.
I had another meeting with the same director and a casting agent about my screenplays. Then in return, I was able to meet agents and a well-known actress at a very prestige casting agency for over four hours about my screenplays.
There are two favorites among the group of directors and the casting agency. One is based on my hometown and South L.A. The second one is an inspired one after I met Bill Macy and Martin Landau in one night. I will see what happens. I have another screenplay based on Alfred Bester's The Demolished Man with a modern twist - a recently nominated director loves this one. Exciting things are happening right now. I am truly grateful and happy about my luck.
Step by step, I am becoming a person who the film world wants in. I made a goal to make a film by my birthday - August 10. How in the world am I going to do this? Somehow, I will survive through the filmmaking process and produce one. Sundance Film Festival really propelled me to make a film this year. I admit - my path is scary yet challenging. What in the world am I thinking? Am I insane? Laughs.
I will be persistent and follow through all of the steps even it almost kills me. I will take deep breaths and go forward. I should not worry and expect that I may have a film by August, get a contract from a motion picture company, or being in the television industry. It was recommended and requested that I write two t.v. pilots within two weeks. I am curious how my life will turn out in the next six months. I will try to be ready and smile...and write like hell. Or I will write eloquently. Either way, my destined Emerald Castle harbors storytelling, creativity, and cameras if I love the idea or not. I originally thought that I was going to be an urban planner or a scientist who studies ferns or a history of photography professor. What happened?
