I Am Easy to Find

Human life explanation with music, poets and songs... It touches your heart

This is so Mike Mills - in the best way! It feels to me like it has the same energy and existential narrative as Beginners, but gentler, in a loving feminine kind of way. Alicia Vikander is perfect in this. The National and Mike Mills are such a natural collaboration

As much as I loveThe National, this film is nothing more than pretentious time filler. Not nearly as clever as it thinks it is. I can't thinknof a single reason to ever watch it again.

"Surprised at how much others delude themselves She wonders how much she deludes herself"

I found this short to be incredibly powerful despite being a mere 20 minutes long. We watch as Alicia Vikander portrays all stages and roles in a human life as a child, mother, and grandmother. Music from The National is also featured.

Thought I'm a young male, I still found ways to connect with this. Mike Mills is trying to show that life is a journey with its own mini milestones. There's a definitive start and a definitive end. There is no such thing as a mistake, we merely keep learning and keep trying to adjust in the world. Though we may change physically, we will always be the same person. We do things out of impulse, question things, learn about other people, yet still see things through the context of our own experiences.

I intend to watch this again, and I encourage others to do the same. Spare a few minutes to watch art develop on the screen, you won't regret it.
