Myth of Man

I would struggle to find the words to retell the story of Myth of Man but this is a film I will likely never forget. It is beautifully shot, the matt pastel colours are gorgeous and the music sublime. The lead actress is incredible - telling immensely moving chapters with just a furrow of her brow, a slight smile or a widening of her eyes - she is an incredible talent and I am sure she will go on to achieve marvelous things. The whole styling of this film pulls you in and keeps you amazed in scene after scene. I cannot recommend it highly enough and it's current score on IMDB of 5.5 is absolutely bewildering to me.

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.

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.

Jamin Winans does it again with an artistic and emotional new film dealing with the connection between God and created beings. The movie is two hours long but the time flies. The score by the director was perfect, the actors were great even in the no spoken dialogue context of the film. There are a lot of meaningful tidbits to discover in the film which I will leave to the watcher. It is well worth viewing and one can only hope Jamin Winans puts more films out for the world to enjoy.

I wont spoil the plot except to say the lead protagonist believes she received a message from her creator and the rest should be seen to be experienced.

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!
