Talk about a great life altering perspective. This moving documentary introduces us to the survivors of the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco. I agree, it doesn't sound like anything that should make us jump out of our comfort zone. Yet, this movie shows us exactly why we should get out of our comfort zone once in a while. The film focuses on an unlikely hero, who has changed my perspective in a profound way. Herb is one of the earthquake survivors. His mind is sharp and his love of life is contagious. As I watched Herb and learned of his reflections, which spans through an entire century, I became acutely aware of the priorities of life. At the winter of his days, Herb reminds us that at the end what really matters is how we are being in our relationships with loved ones. The film does a great job of presenting the great trauma that the 1906 earthquake inflicted on the San Francisco population. The information is interesting and dynamic. At the same time, the film handles the human story of the survivors in a sensitive and engaging manner. More than anything, this movie reminded me that the most interesting lessons in life are all around me - if I would only take a moment and listen. A great job!
Moving, beautifully crafted, unbelievable performances, direct, poetic, raw. I was so moved by this film, I find it hard to compose complete sentences to describe it. This movie touched and inspired every cell in my body. The acting by the entire cast was precise and authentic. How were they able to compile this cast? How did they manage to extract these performances? The writing is intelligent, sensitive, moving and direct. This is a rare script. Each scene in this movie required such an investment by the entire film crew to reach its rare authenticity. The courage it would take to produce this film escapes me. While the result deserves the highest awards, this is not a film that was made for the sake of popularity. This film feels like a labor of love and the result of the truest of intentions. My hat is off to anyone who participated in this film.
