Myth of Man

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...

I'm going to have to make it clear from the start that I cannot do this film justice in my review. I am not skilled enough as a writer to be able to describe it and it deserves better words than I can throw together in my ham-fisted way, so what I'll try and do is explain why I like this movie so much and why and if that sounds like something that appeals to you then please go see it yourself.

The reason it's so hard to describe is because the film makers have made their own world and that world is unfamiliar. It has a diesel punk aesthetic with ecchos of Fritz Lang's Metropolis or Dark City but it's not clear how it all works - there is no dialogue and it doesn't have exposition for the sake of understanding the film. What it has are characters - the people in the movie know what's going on and they are totally relatable.

They have hopes, fears, they go on a journey. We see them navaigate their world, try to change it, try to change each other and it's magical and I have never been so engrossed in a story in my life at a cinema.

We were lucky enough to have some time at the end for a Q&A with the film makers and lead actors and it felt like we could have been sat around a camp fire with them telling the story and they'd have begun as the light fades then we find ourselves cold, damp, the fire gone out and the sun rising at they finish theri tale but nobody would have noticed any of those things... the story is just so captivating.

Will you like it? I don't know. I think people who are used to graphic novels will connect with it easier (I'm not a comic fan myself, but I appreciate how emotionally connecting an artform it is). Check out the trailer. Take a risk - it may be one of the most captivating films you ever see.

I'm an actor and would sell my arms to perform a role in such a great masterpiece of movie. Jamin and Kiowa Winans show us why we artists are making art. We need stories of value, of visibility, of things in life which are between the lines to refer to! To help us at least to try to understand why we are here? And why now?

Jamin created a fantastic surreal world full of symbolic pieces, put them very carefully in every detail, engaged a brilliantly tremendous cast to tell an essential life-questioning story you've never seen anything alike before!

I've seen this brilliant diesel- punk movie three times on the big screen and it felt every time like an increase and consolidation of emotional elements.

With lead actress Laura Rauch as Ella (you just loose yourself in her aura), Anthony Nuccio wonderfully charismatic as Seeg, Martin Angerbauer terrific as bad- boy Boxback, Ian Hinton fabulously as Caley, Winans has found an ensemble of brilliant actors to give his story and fantastic surrealistic world a voice! A voice you won't hear but experience through acting, through the fine drawn storylines, through the tense atmosphere created by Winans with his epic soundtrack, the whole team and cast. You feel every minute that the people participating in that movie knew they were creating something special. And they did!

This is a movie which goes beyond visibility and words, beyond moralism or teaching lessons, beyond question and answers. Just one important statement what I have learned or rather what my conclusion was: together we can create, together we can reach beautiful things.

This is telling of the future and the fight we are in for. Cutting off our connection with the all mighty. I love that this story was able to be told. People are so willing to give up and take the easy way out, and take the easy way out, and take the easy way out. Time to reflect on your past...and what you can do for the future. Yeah..I cried. I'm a sinner. This is a weird post for me. I have done some evil stuff in my life. But this movie spoke to me. And made me realize. I am redeemable. I need to love more. I need to love myself more. I need to communicate with the creator more. And reject what is coming. The easy way out is not the way.

I would struggle to find the words to retell the story of Myth of Man but this is a film I will likely never forget. It is beautifully shot, the matt pastel colours are gorgeous and the music sublime. The lead actress is incredible - telling immensely moving chapters with just a furrow of her brow, a slight smile or a widening of her eyes - she is an incredible talent and I am sure she will go on to achieve marvelous things. The whole styling of this film pulls you in and keeps you amazed in scene after scene. I cannot recommend it highly enough and it's current score on IMDB of 5.5 is absolutely bewildering to me.
