Unplugging (2022)
An easy watch, I loved it. Maybe not for everyone... but in a way it is
I really enjoyed this movie.
Maybe it's because I grew up in the woods, and then the city. Before cell phones .
This movie was simple and adventurous.
All the characters represented reminded me of people I already know in my life who struggle with the pace and addiction of technology while loosing sight of the joy that can come with being " in the moment ".
I'm glad I watched it.
I can see how viewers might be polarized by the lifestyles and predicament in this film. Perhaps people who live a slow life can't relate to the mentality of a workaholic who's out of touch and a tiktoking younger generation that gets by on social media would not appreciate or comprehend the concept of a simpler lifestyle.
I also enjoyed some of the metaphors like the drone in nature- natural environments being invaded by technology and it weird and out of place because it is.
I took that as commentary.
