Myth of Man

We saw this film at a special screening in Nashville a few months ago at the Franklin Theater. This is a very mesmerizing piece of art and deserves to be seen!

I just read a really negative review on here saying this is some sort of right-wing, anti-vax, pro-Christian, wet dream and wanted to respond -as one of the most pro-vax, non-religious, left-leaning people you'll ever meet. That review is complete nonsense!

As with any art piece, there are about a million ways you can interpret anything. This movie isn't really political at all, at least not from a traditional ideology, and even if you DID want to put it in a political box, I'd say it is about non-conformity, rebellion, individuality, and acceptance - certainly not positions the US right believes in. Are there religious undertones? Maybe, if you are inclined to believe there are, you can find them. You can certainly find a "higher-power" but not a benevolent god one should worship

At it's core, this is an incredible achievement in both aesthetic beauty and sound. It is a touching story of survival and friendship in a world gone mad. And it's all done with no dialogue. It's a two hour long sensory journey that you've never seen anything like before and may never see again. I would 100% recommend it.

I really wish it had been released on more screens around the country because not seeing it on the big screen will most assuredly lessen the impact that it has on you. This is a work of art that deserves to be seen!

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!

It brings tears to your eyes to watch such a brave film in our times... This is a recipe that should be followed more... If not the only recipe to make a movie... It comes from people who care... So the question is: Do you want to watch more films like that? With a true heart beat of their own? Show and share your love and support. I'll try to do so...

I 'm jealous of those who watched this stunning achievement in theatre... Congratulations to anyone involved... Magnificent film...

I'm gonna watch Jamin and Kiowa Winans previous films as well right now... I'm sure some treasures are about to be found...

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.
