Ads for wireless, make up and I don’t even remember what else were certainly ironic throughout this documentary. While some of these folks probably do suffer from some mental issues as a previous commenter stated, so the ferk does the rest of society. Just because you get up every a.m., go to work, do the work (or not as the case often is), come home, do dinner, take the kids somewhere they have to go, go to bed, etc., etc. doesn’t mean you don’t have some form of mental illness, too. Why is your life more normal than theirs? Most “normal” people are addicted to something...tv, the internet, porn, food, prescription medication, so why is their world freaky? This country and the rest of the world has survived this long because of people like this. Don’t knock it just because you have electricity and they don’t. You’re as ferked up as the next person, regardless of your physical comfort level. Posted 06/20/09 by Richard U.
I own a property in the mesa up toward the top in the trees, away from most of where this film was made, but all in the same square mile grid mostly! In the two visits I have made there, I have found the people to very friendly , warm , and kind ! Bought land site unseen and new knowthing of this film or of this place. But belive from what I have seen for myself that they did an amazing job of showing what many lives are like on the mesa, other wise known as two peaks. And if it was not for the bad roads I would move there tomorrow! And still may yet! |
