A Masterpiece
The last 5 minutes...
I almost cried for Rohani.
A moving documentary.
So beautiful and so sad, but I'm glad I watched it.
The Old Man and the Sea - Redux
The other commentators have covered it. Just want to add - the hard, diving dude who is the focus of the film, who narrates his story - wow - he is a real poet. (And any guy who uses a block of wood as a pillow is hardcore in my book). If he weren't fishing with a spear at the bottom of the sea, he could have given most we take to be great authors, a good run for their money. His captivating dialogue alone is worth the 10 stars, let alone the hauntingly beautiful scenes underwater, as well as the beautiful yet poignant story of one of the Bajau people. What a documentary! What a film! Bravo!! Masterpiece.
