Myth of Man

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.

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.

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!

My take. It's about disability and the loneliness and isolation that it can bring. How those with the inability to hear, can still feel the weight of those screaming loudest to be noticed.

It's also about the fear and stigma that it can bring.

Then my ultimate take is that it's about those people sticking together as one and being heard just that much more, but having to learn to trust those you may not have ever trusted.

It's an AMAZING movie. It's about pure emotional acting mixed with an even more amazing musical score.

It is most definitely not a movie for those who don't think deeply about the meaning of what they are watching, past the action heros' tagline and/or heaving chesticles.

It's art. Plain and simple. Interpret it how you wish.

Perfect 10? Off course not. Nothing is perfect. But it's as close as it gets. Absolutely moving and brilliant!

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.
