Great movies- Gates of Heaven
I keep forgetting to write about Gates of Heaven , which I watched before Christmas. This is Errol Morris' first documentary. It's a strange little documentary about pet cemeteries. Morris starts by telling the story of a pet cemetery located outside (L.A?), which then had to be relocated. Another entrepeneur decides to take over the cemetery and opens a cemetery called "Bubbling Wells Pet memorial park." The documentary consists of stationary camera interviews of the family that owns the pet cemetery, people that have used the cemetery to bury their pets. This is a moving reflection on life, death, grieving and our love of animal companions. It's not necessarily easy to find out what Morris is trying to tell you, but this is definitely a film that will make you think.
I should also note that the movie posts are going to be changing around here. I'm tracking the numbers of movies I watch this year and have been compiling it in a word document. Each month, I'll write one post detailing the movies I've watched the previous month. Nerds ahoy!
