Glitter And Doom- One of the best things about getting the for your consideration requests is being made aware of films that you were totally unaware of, and in turn, get to make others more aware. glitter And Doom is a delightful, upbeat, pop/rock original musical that is about two best friends, who are struggling musicians, and also best friends (or maybe more?) and their journey to potential stardom, or total obscurity. Sadly, obscurity looks more likely since this movie seems to have not really registered with audiences. I thought, even without audio description, the movie was a blast. it has an interesting supporting cast full of names like Tig Notaro that you just don’t expect to see in a musical. because of the way that I consume musicals, and prefer my audio description to not interrupt the songs, so a film without it almost matters how much singing there actually is. I know, for example, that people are disappointed by the audio description in Hamilton, because there really aren’t many chances or breaks for robust description without talking over the songs. Of course, the compromise is to have an introduction track for blind audiences that describe the characters and set. Glitter and Doom doesn’t have even a fraction of that budget, but it is basically non-stop singing. I immediately wanted to jam out to Glitter and Doom, where other original musicals like Emilia Perez, The End, and Moana 2 gave me mixed results. Perhaps because of the strong anchoring in the music, it was a little hard to follow without audio description. Even a little bit could have made some difference, which is why the best practice should always be to include it. Even if it isn’t verbose.
Fresh: Final Grade: A-, No Audio Description
And So it Begins- Another film without audio description. This film was primarily in English, but it also is about Filipino politics, and there’s quite a bit of Tagalog in the movie as well. Without audio description, I didn’t get any translations, so all the speakers in Tagalog couldn’t impart their knowledge in the way I felt this documentary wanted to. However, there were parts of this that were incredibly powerful and interesting. In a world full of nihilistic leaders, it is interesting to see how that sociopathic tendency has affected life in the Philippines, even right down to some absurd textbooks for kids. Could you imagine living here in America and having kids doing their handwriting exercises to “Donald Trump is an amazing person.” And every single exercise is an indoctrination technique? that is just one of the themes explored. Unfortunately, due to a large chunk of the film not being in English, and the film not having audio description, I can’t give this a grade. However, I would recommend it to sighted readers. the world is on fire in some places that the news isn’t always paying attention to, and documentarians often are able to point out what gets left behind.
No Grade due to Lack Of Audio description
Zurawski V. Texas- I don’t know how this documentary didn’t make the shortlist for the Oscars. yes, it is crafted to pull people into a specific issue, but most of these films were designed to do that. I had such a hard time recording a video for this, because I kept launching into long rants after hearing these women and their stories. this is about women and their right to choose in Texas, but specifically, these are women who are being forced to carry babies to term that have no chance of survival. in many cases, this has caused these women to lose their reproductive health. So, the conservative right really didn’t gain anything, except some absurd morality victory. If God put women here to pump out babies, like some believe, then wouldn’t it be more productive to protect the reproductive health of the woman? See. I literally cannot talk about this film in a constructive manner. One of the best documentaries of last year that non one saw. No audio description, but it’s getting a grade, because everyone needs to hear these women.
