A Good Man: Frustrating and engaging

I can’t dance...not really anyways.  One of my bucket list items is to develop a craft: drawing, dance, jewelry making, welding… the oboe.  The biggest obstacle from me currently is my utter lack of transforming an idea into something that invokes emotion and is aesthetically pleasing.  That’s why I find this film so fascinating as it follows a radically individualistic persona, Bill T Jones, through his entire creative process.  From an idea about the heroism of Abe Lincoln, to an inspiring dance piece portraying race and politics, this film highlights all of the frustrations of genius bearing its gift tro the world.  Though I don’t think I personally would have gotten the production if I had gone to see it blind, I appreciate the opportunity to peer behind the curtain and into the heart of its creator.
Verdict: If you ever wanted to understand a creative better (Do it)
