A strange viewing experience
22 April 2018
While this movie follows a main plot, the plot is really a framing device for Kahlil Gibran's work. I recognized some of the poetry from when my father shared them with me. I usually have trouble with poetry, but I like Gibran's poetry. And the poetry in the movie was beautiful to watch with beautiful animation. I imagine the animation that went with the poetry was based on Gibran's work as well, but I am not familiar with his art. There may have been some metaphorical meaning in the animation, but I didn't completely catch it. It would be good to have a director's voice over that can educate me on stuff like that. This movie makes me think I would love to learn more about Gibran's work.
