Taking My Parents to Burning Man (2014)

Review by balkanrix

Taking My Parents to Burning Man

Rating after only 2 minutes

I don't even know if this counts as anything since i only watched the film for about two minutes. But those two minutes was tough enough. Let me tell you. Not because the production was too slick or too shabby, not because I found something els to occupy my mind. But because of the horrible music score. What is going on with that music? Assuming there are more people behind the making of this film other than the guy and his mom and dad; Did everyone in the production OK this? What kind of a message do these people try to convey? Are they trying to change the world and to summon the deepest of inspirations while asking strangers on the street if they know what Burning man is? It confuses me. The thoughts in my mind are "Do they really need to drench this film in this sentimental bullshit this early? Are the people behind this film into this kind of bullshit Disney sentimentality? Is my life long enough to take a the chance that the producer insisted against the film maker's tortured soul? Is it better to use my time to, for the first time ever in my life, review something, and especially when i haven't even seen the damn thing? Yes." It really pisses me off. It is not good style to push the audience around with those cynical "how to make people feel puppy love-soundtracks". It calculated, unoriginal, cliché and irritating. Try scoring the film after you've done some dope at Burning Man. So much anger after two minutes. It would have risky watching the whole thing.
