This just reminds me of my time in South East Asia and how frustrated i felt at everyone when I came back. Perfect Backpacker short - I want it on my blackberry!

In all seriousness this film was really able to capture how we as a society just want to carry on regardless, without actually looking at our actions, or even putting what we do into perspective. What's interesting in this piece is many times the narrator seems to be actually criticizing himself, as well as everything he is a product of. It's a celebration and damnation of the backpacker culture.

Overall this film wants to make me make a difference, but the apathy involved makes it even more frustrating.
