Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things (2015)
It feels like one hour long advertisement
Well, for a documentary that wants to present the minimalist approach to its audience, it does not make use of that at all.
My issues with this one are that:
1. It has a lot of repetitive speeches,
2. The whole doc felt for me like a hypocritical statement, because they present you how bad the advertising on social media has become and all the impulsive purchases that are the result of that, but still they use the exact same tactics and advertising to promote their goal, which from what I've seen is to buy the book of the 2 main protagonists that show up in this doc film.
Overall its just felt like an hour long advertising, which in the end I can say that the focus wasn't in explaining what minimalism really is and how beneficial it can be. It was just to promote a product (their book).
Still, there is one thing that I've liked about this, which is the final statement when the doc ended: "Love people and use things. Because the opposite never works."
