Myth of Man

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.

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!

I was drawn in by the music and atmosphere from the teaser trailer and when the full trailer came out, I was fully hooked. I was unable to see it in a theater, so I watched it online, and I was still blown away by it. This was one of the few movies I've seen where you just sit back and just experience it, like 2001 A Space Odyssey. The fact that there are no words, just adds to what's on the screen. I deal with PTSD, so the fact that this movie had nothing that triggered it was really appreciated. There are no jump scares or anything cheap along those lines. This is a movie for the ages. Watch it, and just sit back and enjoy the visual and aural ride.

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.

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.
