[AI] Documentary review: Best and Most Beautiful Things" about a disabled woman in the society

[avinash shahi]

What happens to children with serious disabilities when they reach
adulthood? They disappear, at least as far as most of society is
concerned. “Best and Most Beautiful Things” is a remarkably forthright
documentary about a young woman in Maine, Michelle Smith, who rebels
at the idea of becoming invisible and wants desperately to find a
place in the grown-up world and to find herself in the process.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/01/movies/best-and-most-beautiful-things-review.html?_r=0
Ms. Smith is legally blind (she can see only extremely close-up
images) and has Asperger’s syndrome. The filmmaker, Garrett Zevgetis,
followed her over several years but focuses on the pivotal time when
she is entering her 20s. It’s a difficult transition for someone with
disabilities — the end of the schooling years, with their structure
and relative safety

“It’s almost like being on the escalator and coming up and being shot
out, and all of a sudden you have to catch your bearings, because now
you’re on your own,” explains one of Ms. Smith’s former teachers at
the Perkins School for the Blind in Massachusetts.

Ms. Smith is eager for experiences and opportunities — “I’m ready for
the uncensored world,” she says — but of course the world is less than
accommodating. Tensions within her family add to the complications.

If this were a Lifetime movie, it would end with Ms. Smith securing a
job as a grocery bagger and viewers coming away feeling that all is
fine. It is decidedly not a Lifetime movie. Ms. Smith’s growth
includes sexual exploration in the world of fetishism, where she finds
a sense of identity that had eluded her, and it includes a lot of
disappointment as well. Ms. Smith does not fit easily into any box,
and neither does this thought-provoking film

[AI] Documentary on Vaikom Vijayalakshmi Released - The New Indian Express

KOCHI: A documentary on singer Vaikom Vijayalakshmi, directed by V K
Subhash, was released here on Sunday.   An august audience, including
writer M K Sanu,
music director Jerry Amaldev and Assistant Commissioner for Traffic
Baby Vinod, attended the documentary release held at the Children’s
Park. Vijayalakshmi
has been suffering from an incurable form of blindness since birth.

The documentary, the first of its kind, explores the struggle that
went into the making of the State Award-winning singer, who captured
people’s hearts
with her rendering.  The documentary, deservedly, salutes the efforts
of Muraleedharan and Vimala,  Vijayalakshmi’s parents, who did
everything they could
to ensure that the rare talent of their daughter was not wasted simply
because she is blind.

The documentary, which focuses largely on places in and around Vaikom
where Vijayalakshmi grew up, also shed light on the many other talents
Vijayalakshmi
possesses, including her expertise in playing the rare musical
instrument called Gayatriveena. However, the documentary does not
feature an interview with
Vijayalakshmi. Director Subhash said it was purposeful.

“We took a deviation from the conventional documentary methodology by
not interviewing Vijayalakshmi for our production. It is a 17-minute
documentary,
and we thought it was better to focus more on the lesser known aspects
of the singer, mainly the efforts made by her parents. In a way, we
wanted this
to be a tribute to her parents,” said Subhash.

 He said the decision to release the documentary on July 27 was
pre-planned. “It is the ‘World Parents’ Day’, and we thought releasing
the documentary on
that day would be an apt way to symbolically honour Vijayalakshmi’s
parents,” he added.

Re: [AI] Documentary

[Subramani L]

Very true indeed. I always welcome a person trying to walk me through a
place, even if I am extremely familiar with it, because otherwise, we
won't be getting to know the person at all. Besides, in a place where we
are the only person with disability, it's always better to behave normal
-in the sense that we shouldn't be excluding ourselves from the rest of
the people. Sometimes, those who come to help us become our good friends
and even confidants.

Hello,
I tried my best not to interfere, as I am from a different cultural 
background. However, this type of things seem commin all over the world.
If 
it is about humorous things, oh, yes, I have a lot and they are all
quite 
good.
The ideea of a documentary on the point is really good, as long as it 
doesn't follow the general tendency of media to make hearts melt and
eyes 
waterry. We, I think, have had enough of this. We are all aware of what
we 
are and, sometimes, people's mentality, good or bad, is due to us also,
we 
like it or not. It is our fault that, instead of explaining people how
they 
can be more efficiant for us, we just become aggresive and do not even
wish 
to communicate properly while we are offered for help. It is our fault
that, 
even if not needed, we do not manage to accept a help which might make
the 
one who is offerring it, happy and comfortable.
Of course I do not mean to hurt anyone, but, the more we seet and
protest 
against ignorance of society, without trying to understand that people
can't 
know us as they simply haven't  deel with such situations of having
around a 
blind, the deeper the gap between blind and sighted would become. What
about 
trying to understand this thing, like  lack of knoledge, knoledge that
we 
can bring by talking only and making things clear for the one who helps,

educated or not, he or she has the right and maybe the wish to learn how
to 
be useful.
Of course, it might be embarracing, that is there, but for everything we

have to pay a prise, and, the situation is that, we have to give it, in 
order to be understood and integrated properly.  Apart of rights, we all

have obligations towards the society, and, I think, opened and patient 
communication is one of them.

Regards,
Adina
 How about never? Is never good for you?
