The Five Obstructions Response

I thought the idea of the film and the way in which it was filmed was really interesting. Though it was almost too slow for me personally at some points, the idea of finding perfection and being the perfect man was almost comical in an intriguing way. Defining perfection is such a vague and practically impossible task but I think the way that the artist went about defining it for himself defined who he was as an individual. The angles and clips of interviews and events throughout the film brought about a very real life documentary type feel that was informative but also engaging beyond the sense of a documentary. Additionally, I really enjoyed the parts in which he was interacting with and trying to share ideas with the other artist, who did not always see things from the same point of view.
