John Shepherds Kontaktversuche mit Aliens

This short doc provides a warped twist that only explains itself in the last 5 min, but you need the other 11min to lead you there. It's really quite a nice watch and I'm my opinion very well made. Extra credit goes to the music. It really carried the story along to its highest point. Well done

This way-too-short non-fiction autobiography is truly inspirational. Not many children get to live out their childhood fascinations at the level and magnitude of one John Shepherd and to do it with so little . From a rough childhood and an early infatuation with science fiction to becoming a famous name in space cult pop culture John is both likeable and inspiring . The story is not just about how far imagination and dedication to ones craft can produce amazing things but also reminds us that whilst we may search the universe for answers , we are most likely to find them right here at home on Earth.

Although the usual assumption would be to think this guy is a complete fruit loop & a bit bonkers, Netflix have handled this with great sensitivity and I really warmed to the guy. A basic tale of a guy who feels 'different' and is just trying to find meaning not only in the world but spreading cultural love beyond the stars. A lovely little film focusing on a really sweet guy.

I started the documentary thinking it would be 2 hours of some guy who loves aliens, some interviews with experts on both sides, a slide real of pictures to an oldies or techno sound track and then an ending with john not finding aliens. What I got was a real human story about a unique person who was searching for something to prove he wasn't alone. I feel like the shortness was really different and i'm not sure if it's what I would have expected. I would really hope that any piece of media could at least fit in a 1/2 hour slot and I think this documentary is no exception and wouldn't have drawn it out too far. I really have to think about weather me wanting more of this movie is a negative or not but I know it did leave me enriched from what I saw.

John was trying to contact aliens!!! What would you expect with that title? So, Much more than a title, It's 16 minutes of Live,love,eccentric personalities and so much more! Im so Happy I watched this and I have only one complaint, I WANT TO KNOW MORE!!!! John you have such an awesome story to tell! I hope you make it to where you dream of!
