The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019)
Improbable plot with big gaps
There was a lot of magical jumps in the flow of the story, How did the blind roadside preacher suddenly provide the materials to build a raft with a sail and why did the well dressed college grad decide to join the guys on a raft trip in her skirt and white blouse. We saw a menacing alligator. Then there was lots of swimming without any mention or thought about the hazard. There was a pile of wire crab traps with a tarp over them that was supposedly destroyed by fire. Their trip took several days but the only food available was a jar of peanut butter and a hand caught fish.
The characters were likeable but without much depth.
Walk with Me (2017)
A beautiful immersive introduction to mindfulness and Buddhism
This film immerses the viewer into Thich Nhat Hanh's practice of mindfulness and approach to life. It sets a beautiful mood while showing the life at a Buddhist monastery. The viewer experiences Thich Nhat Hanh teaching, children asking difficult questions, monks and nuns playing calming classical music - interrupted by a bell after which everyone pauses to contemplate the present moment.
