Wow... Searching For Sugar Man. This was great. Just great.
I tend to find documentaries too depressing... seems like there are too few documentaries not dealing in war, poverty, scandal, disease, or something else horrible. My two friends Johnson and Whitlow have two different opinions on docs. Johnson enjoys the docs that are about the topics I previously listed. I can turn on the news to see all this. That's why I tend to lean towards Whitlow's thinking...
''I watch movies to escape reality, not to have it thrown in my face for an hour and a half."
Ok, so I quoted him, but not sure if that was his official wording... ask him.
Watching Searching for Sugar Man didn't open for my floodgates of loving docs... but it may be a stepping stone. Definitely suggest watching this if you are into documentaries and/or music. Here is IMDB's description:
"Two South Africans set out to discover what happened to their unlikely musical hero, the mysterious 1970s rock 'n' roller, Rodriguez."
