I Am Another You

At first he is portrayed as a symbol of freedom and independent thinking, as well as a non-conformist and a role model..... And then it's revealed he is an alcoholic with mental issues.... Very common for homeless people, I feel bad for him but an 1 1/2 hrs documentary just for him is too much!! It should be 20 mins. Long max

So many people who are homeless or live on the streets have stories to tell and it makes me so happy someone put their creative efforts into telling a story so a wide audience could see it. This film is amazing and very inspiring.

Begins with deceptive naivete, then takes a turn to deeper perusal of freedom, (familial) love, and selfhood

In a society every kind of person can be seen we even can not imagine. The mind it's just a tool to function but the environment shapes it. It's the belief we build as we grow and the perception, and it's constantly changes. It's true, Change is only constant.

If we look into our own life, when we were kids we were told not to do skirmishes, but we loved it. When we grow we understand the consequences then we say to our kids. Everyone wants people to be like them, because it's easier to understand.

That being said society is a mix, if everyone is same (just imagine), it will not make things simple but just think yourself what would it be like.

It's good to see and know other people's belief & perception.

(Accepting the entirety will only make us dig deeper into our own belief).

Thanks Nanfu Ma'am.

I was taken by our female Chinese documentarian when she said she, " felt safer sleeping on the streets of the U.S. than traveling in China ... making a film about Chinese human rights." She films a homeless young white adult male to view his life on the streets of Florida. To some degree we see his alcohol abuse as well as some other hidden personal issues (some from an authoritarian Utah LDS background; some from how he uses people). Fortunately a warm weather state, a young female Asian photographer, and our subject's use of his Northern European looks to garner attention makes their lifestyle & filming sympathetically easier. The complexity of a person's state of mind makes analysis difficult, but from my experience his mindset is common amongst the homeless. Perhaps over hundreds of thousands of years of human social bonding evolution the outliers who could not adapt (perhaps for biological reasons) to put the restrictions & obligations of "we" before the "me" were shunned, and found comfort in a more solitary existence/niche or w/others of a similar makeup
