When The Camera Loves Performer

It won’t obscure, obstruct, or observe from a cool distance. Instead, it might interact, celebrate and flow with them.

I simply loved this performance (Les Twins), but I also love the camera work.

You can tell this camera person and director really like these two. And when shooting dancers, that should be there.

Awww they love each other.

Can I just say, this is the most eye opening documentary I’ve ever watched. I remember being young and going to SeaWorld with my family. I was so excited to see the whales and the trainers. I wanted to be in the splash zone. I had this image that the whales were being taking care of and that they loved entreating young children. I was under the impression that was all fun and games. This film made me see things in a whole new light. I guess I never thought much about SeaWorld when I got older. In my 20s I still had these thoughts about SeaWorld that I had when I was 4. I was wrong.

Blackfish opened the door for the public to see what was actually going on with the whales in SeaWorld. These whales were mistreated, captured and taken away from their…

Caine’s Arcade – cool little kid!

I love how LA (adians) lol – I dunno what to call em’ – came out to support him. I woulda gone too, but I’m in NY.

But the dad is pretty great (don’t you think)? Notice, he never got down or discouraged in his ideas.

But I’m thankful this filmmaker wandered in there too, this made my day to see.

Report on Loving Case 1967

Godtisx adds:

There are many people who could never “see,” or “do,” this. Who are committed to seeing people of color as some kind of “less.” So I can completely understand why they were so hell bent on enforcing that crazy law. They were protecting a view (theirs), not a way of life. These are the kind of people who raised children, who raised children with this view. Some of them still holding views that supported such a law. What else does this remind you of?

Thank-God for those who analyze, challenge and have the courage to change laws. And, lovely couple.

Mildred Jeter was born in 1939. She was of African and Rappahannock (Native American) descent.

Richard Loving was born in 1933. He was of Caucasian (white) descent.

Mildred and Richard were childhood sweethearts in Caroline County, Virginia. When they grew up, they decided to marry.

The marriage laws in Virginia said that no white person could marry a non-white person, so the Lovings were married in June, 1958 in Washington..

After they returned home, the local sheriff burst into their bedroom and arrested Mr. and Mrs. Loving.

To avoid going to jail, the couple had to leave Virginia.

The Lovings moved to Washington, but in time were frustrated that they could not visit their families in Virginia.

in 1963, Mrs. Loving wrote the US Attorney General, Robert F. Kennedy, who referred her case to the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union). The case was taken all the way to the US…
