Wisconsin Death Trip

There’s a tone about this I really appreciate. Someone said it reminded them of Gummo which is a great example. Weird yet normal Midwest stories retold. Feels like a visual newspaper. I love how many of the shots looked like moving photos, and that whisper! Haunting, ordinary, and surreal at the same time glad I found this. Totally not for everybody.

I don't think I've ever stopped watching a movie that's less than an hour and a half long because it was going on too long before, but I did with this at like the 40 minute mark.

Now don't get me wrong - I'm just as numb to kids and babies getting brutally murdered as the next guy. What bothered me more was that there was absolutely no order or structure of any kind to the stories being told outside of the overarching theme of "people in the 1890s are just as fucked up as people today".

But I'll hand it to my man James Marsh for a second - if you're gonna make a documentary about life in the turn of the century midwest, what better way to go about it than to showcase how we were just as mentally fucked as we are now. Nothing's changed but technology and time.

I wasn’t planning on watching this but my uncle stuck it on i. The caravan and I ended up enjoying it. It’s something different for a documentary. It was really enjoyable but also scary at the same time.
