Where Are We Reviews
Don't bother with this one
I'm amazed that the creators of The Celluloid Closet, that most informative film, came up with this one! This movie promises an interesting cross section of American culture coupled with quirky characters; it also is billed as a comedy. I know there are many people like that in our country, but you would never know it by watching this. In fact, I would wager that you would have to look longer and harder to find the hum-drum, ordinary folks shown here. That, along with a sedate pace of fliming, makes it hard to stay awake until the end. I never quite got a handle on what the point of it all was; perhaps that the educational system is bad? Poor grammar all around. The in-depth tour of the casino was the low point, as far as holding the interest of the viewer. It went on and on with detailed descriptions of games and promotions etc.
Throughout, the filmmakers seem to be trying to show their marked superiority over the interviewees by asking loaded questions. The worst example of this was when they spoke to an elderly gentleman, appearing to be quite near death, in a diner. He struggled to be polite, and deal with their increasingly complex questions by making feeble attempts at humor. (Excruciating to watch) I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they've not been around any aged people, and have no understanding of the confusion that plagues the elderly. I hope this is true,because if not, it was cruel, and I feel very ashamed for them.
Whatever it is you're looking for in a documentary, be it gay issues or American culture, you'll be better off picking up any doc off your video store shelf. Avoid this one, it's guaranteed to put you to sleep!
