Isn't the child's welfare more important than your stupid little film? Put the camera down, stupid. <br /><br />There's this other documentary, the name escapes me, but it's about that stupid gypsy punk guy, the Gogol Bordello guy, and it's shot by this even more stupid girl who is totally in love with him and she follows him around while he douches his way across Europe -- anyway, there's this part in some run-down, little eastern European town, where this dirty little girl is following the camera girl and speaking into the camer so ernestly and she is crying and saying something and crying and saying something, trying to get the stupid camera girl to undestand, but because the stupid camera girl is REALLY stupid and crappy, she just leaves the little girl standing in the middle of the village road, filming her in a lingering shot as the stupid camera girl walks away, oh so sad and poignant...<br /><br />What was the little girl saying as she sobbed to this stranger with a camera? Who knows? Stupid camera girl can't be bothered to find out or even have it translated later. <br /><br />Horrible.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581880415411016683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885197014573022725.post-205101170647953042009-09-27T21:47:21.335-07:002009-09-27T21:47:21.335-07:00I bravely read the end of this book, twice actuall...I bravely read the end of this book, twice actually. Both times I started crying so hard that I had to call my mom from my dorm room. I mean, serious crying, the type where I'm actually sobbing into a pillow. As sad as it seems, I really encourage you and everyone to read the last chapter. It's more touching than you'd think, and it really adds to the impact the book has on you. I'd say it's almost necessary to the rest of the book.<br /><br />But whatever you decide, I agree that this book is amazing. Definitely one of my favorites!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618005813789551048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885197014573022725.post-21050534858444348262009-09-07T12:34:35.274-07:002009-09-07T12:34:35.274-07:00HA!
