This makes me sad. I think people are far too obsessed with 'success' in life. If you are a good, kind, and caring person, THAT is success in my book.
Live your life, be happy, and help others to be happy.
(cont. again) Not just "I want people to like me" but "I want to be part of something and share my life with others" and how that's different? Now that I watch it again I see your mom differently, how much she is trying hard to understand you and has her own ideas about why you are the way you are... gah, sorry for this rambling. I feel honored to have seen it. Thanks Katherine :) -meghan
My mum says allot of things like that, i think its pep talk, it never hurts me, because she has been the most understanding and supportive mother anyone could wish for.... shes just got a strong character thats all! :)
As for the last comment, I hear so much negativity aimed at me, that my confidence often lags far behind me, and in this case, it caused me to ask myself the question "Do I have an Inferiority complex?" which in turn gave me this film.
All those things you feel, went through my head, and at that time were questions I wanted answering, I guess the film was therapy that worked. Thank you so much for your comments, makes me smile a whole load. :)
(cont). The end with the ticking clock really is perfect after your mother says something kind of inflammatory - did that hurt you, for her to not call what you're doing work, or worthy of going to uni for? (I just know it would have hurt me, I've heard similar things from people...) In terms of the loneliness being a result of wanting social approval - also in terms of a sense of community or close relationships, too? Not just in a negative way.
Im glad you liked it :))) Yes I had a really hard time with the sound, it was all recorded in camera! with no external mic, which was a young and foolish mistake! That doctor is my friends dad, hes a psychologist and shes in the interview too, which is funny because at school she used to bully me!
I think this is so wonderful, really. The doctor seems to talk very quietly at times, maybe that's what Arin was meaning. (Your mom was a great person to interview, her obvious love for you and not wishing you to judge yourself made her incredibly captivating. I laughed outloud when she talked about the dog with the toy... :) I wished it was longer!
I don't know why thats happening, it works for me. Its filmed on a crappy digital camera, with my interviewing my mum and a doctor about weather I have a complex.

Hey,
I'm having a hard time with the audio on this one.
But I like the slides.
