Myth of Man

I was drawn in by the music and atmosphere from the teaser trailer and when the full trailer came out, I was fully hooked. I was unable to see it in a theater, so I watched it online, and I was still blown away by it. This was one of the few movies I've seen where you just sit back and just experience it, like 2001 A Space Odyssey. The fact that there are no words, just adds to what's on the screen. I deal with PTSD, so the fact that this movie had nothing that triggered it was really appreciated. There are no jump scares or anything cheap along those lines. This is a movie for the ages. Watch it, and just sit back and enjoy the visual and aural ride.

What a truly profound presentation of love and compassion. I wish more filmmakers would take the risks to create something so deeply moving as Myth of Man. There's something very special with each of Jamin.and Kiowa's films; each seems to take place in a world just outside our own, and in those worlds they create something timeless and magical, calling our attention to the human side of humanity. The bonds that connect us. Hope. Trust in there being more good than bad. Kindness. Empathy. The holistic human experience. And they do it like no one else. It's a perfect example of masterful storytelling, and Jamin is truly one of the finest composers in film, this proves it. Thank you for making this film, Jamin and Kiowa. Please never stop.

This review has to be oblique in order to serve the cause of the indefinable, because to describe this stellar work of art would be a disservice. Labeling and packaging this magic would tend to draw it from the celestial to the mundane terrestrial. The film makers have revealed a dimension heretofore never exposed, a reality every bit as tangible as that last dream you had. To label it a "fourth dimension" or something, again, would only diminish it. The Myth of Man is ineffably sublime and, paradoxically, worthy of enduring acknowledgment and dissertation. Similar to those things in life that are subject to change simply by being analyzed and/or defined. Like sex.

We saw this film at a special screening in Nashville a few months ago at the Franklin Theater. This is a very mesmerizing piece of art and deserves to be seen!

I just read a really negative review on here saying this is some sort of right-wing, anti-vax, pro-Christian, wet dream and wanted to respond -as one of the most pro-vax, non-religious, left-leaning people you'll ever meet. That review is complete nonsense!

As with any art piece, there are about a million ways you can interpret anything. This movie isn't really political at all, at least not from a traditional ideology, and even if you DID want to put it in a political box, I'd say it is about non-conformity, rebellion, individuality, and acceptance - certainly not positions the US right believes in. Are there religious undertones? Maybe, if you are inclined to believe there are, you can find them. You can certainly find a "higher-power" but not a benevolent god one should worship

At it's core, this is an incredible achievement in both aesthetic beauty and sound. It is a touching story of survival and friendship in a world gone mad. And it's all done with no dialogue. It's a two hour long sensory journey that you've never seen anything like before and may never see again. I would 100% recommend it.

I really wish it had been released on more screens around the country because not seeing it on the big screen will most assuredly lessen the impact that it has on you. This is a work of art that deserves to be seen!

Absolutely beautiful film that is wonderful to look at and moving to consider. I don't often watch films more then once, but I look forward to experiencing this film a second time. Thank you to the director, writer and cast that made this charming and deeply meaningful movie possible. As I was watching I could not stop myself from thinking about the amount of time and work that had to go into this project. With all the lazy writing and storytelling that is common with many films today, this was a breath of fresh air. The telling of a story through glances, facial expression and body language drew one to concentrate even more on the characters and their own idiosyncrasies. I found myself lost with them and rooting for them with each struggle they attempted to overcome. Really wonderful and moving experience.
