'connected' by tiffany shlain

how disappointed i was watching this movie!

i liked the trailer but the movie is totally different.
i can understand that she needs to make a movie talking about the cancer of her father and her pregnancy: a therapeutic movie for the filmmaker. I didn't know her father's books…
the movie is too private, too intimate…
And finally, i revised my history classes when i was in highschool.
I wanted to see something more hard-hitting, original…
Why do the things change between people since we are more connected?…
I remember when my friends started to buy cell phones, i was the last one to buy one.
Calling his boyfriend to ask him for buying a baguette before coming home was intolerable for me!
the emptiness to say anything… your cell phone is your best friend, your wife/husband…
and WWW arrived in your life.
with emails, people re-started to write and i liked that as i like to receive postcards or long letters…
i like to see the writing…
i often forget my cell phone at home and my day is not worse than another one…
so this movie is too egocentric…
looking forward to the next movie i want to watch to comfort me…
