Daniel

Like the headline states. It's a beautiful story. But it's also very depressing. Daniel had such an interesting perspective on life. Something many of us can relate to. His journeys and experiences are things we can appreciate, because it's something we all want to see in life. It's a raw insight into the life of an extraordinary young man. A man who lived a life time. A man cut short of the life that could of brought so much more to this world. His journey shows us the beauty and the beasts of the world. The light and darkness that plays a a part of all our lives. He lived and died to tell a story, to show people there's more beauty than beasts and that we can see the extraordinary and live the lives we want to. Live the impossible and be who we want to be.

It's rare in these days of three hour plus movies to say I wish a film was longer, but in this case, I wish it was.

It's an interesting film and well worth watching in terms of seeing someone living life to the fullest and suddenly finding themselves, unexpectedly, at the end of it all.

My only complaint is at the end of 102 minutes, relatively short these days, that I didn't feel I knew Daniel as well as I could have. From what I understand he filmed over a thousand hours of his life, and this easily could have been a two hour to two and half hour film and I would've felt like I knew him better.

On the upside, maybe more people will watch it as it's reasonably short and since it was produced by his sister, maybe she didn't know what best to include or leave out.

In the end it would be difficult not to recommend it, as it is one of those "live life while you can" kind of stories. I just wish I got to know Daniel a little better over the course of the film and with all the available footage there was, I think the possibility was there.

Daniel's life was... a long short life. I'm sure that he lived in ten years what I or 90% of people worldwide won't live. I'm glad to have watched your movie, and I'm grateful for your existence. I will remember this experience for my entire life. The way your sister edited the movie and the way you speak through the scenes were amazing. For me, it almost seemed planned, you know, the way you live, even without knowing about your illness that you show... it's amazing.

How things happen... how people look for us... how our friends can imagine or understand life... I don't feel sorry for you, dear. Thanks.

I almost skipped pass this and made a big mistake but something told me to check it out. Such a beautiful story of Daniel's unique life. It was a documentary that I felt a connection with and I'm sure many others will. The meaning of everything/the importance of living life to its fullest. I haven't gotten this emotional and felt this way really about any movie/doc/series. Thank you to Daniel's sister for going through it all and weaving this view on her brothers life. As another reviewer stated...A very life affirming movie. Everyone should watch this, I don't see how you could not come out of it without a little bit of Daniel in your heart. Be kind to one another, have fun when you can, for you you never know what will come next on your journey of life.

This is the best film ever made, Dan, if you are reading this from across the impossible: i wish i'd know you and give you all the love you deserved, you were a gentleman, a true brother, son, friend, all things aside, You were a beautiful human being. Dan, i've seen all kinds of films, more than a thousand of them, i've never connected myself this close to a film like i have to yours. I dont think there are words in the dictionary to define your presence. Nature chose you to show its immense beauty to the world. You were loved, and you always will be, I'll remember this for the rest of my life.
