So why did these people want to go bother a man who obviously did not want to be bothered?

This falls into the category of: obessive fan

For what it was worth, quite an experience it must have been!

Kudos to you for undertaking this ambitious project.

The way it's been filmed, your documentary has a very good/ original/ easy-going/ effortlessly-entertaining feel to it which makes the viewer almost seem like s/he was part of it.

@thot4 Well, you got me there. See, that's what you should've started w/. Bring out the big guns right away, I always say.

@MckyMseNTarotCrds

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

@thot4 You start a discussion on a YT thread by quoting some obscure line from the Bible, one you clearly don't even understand, pass it off as your own, and I'm the fool? I've no doubt your first comment "there is no truth" is in the Bible. Your second comment, the explanation: doubtful. You have no idea what the line means. The Bible, both old and new testaments, list certain things as very clearly right or wrong. And who cares what the Bible says anyway? Have an original idea for once.

@MckyMseNTarotCrds

I was quoting the bible, fool.

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

@thot4 Um...tom just gave you some examples of truth. Okay, examples aren't the same thing as definition, but your answer is evasive and dismissive. And you sound like you're reading a fortune cookie. Stop pretending you have it all figured out and watch the play. "The fact of the matter..." ugh. It's like some tweed-jacketed pipe smoking grotesque.

I find the teacher's mention of the Field of Dreams film odd. I'd expect an English teacher to know it's based on Shoeless Joe, the novel. And that "famous writer" in the novel actually is a fictionalized Salinger. I guess in this day and age even English teachers prefer the movie, haha.

Also, wasn't the hooker, the one this guy refers to as older than Holden's mother, really a teen not much older than Holden himself?

Oh, and the two guys who made the film: total douche-bags. That is all.

Define "truth."

There is not truth, or untruth. The moment simply is.

The fact of the matter is that the world is a string of beautifully random events slammed together arbitrarily.

@thot4 - Most people would agree that murdering good people is bad. Are you claiming thats not a truth

Most people would agree that child rape is bad. I agree that some truth is relative but some is also anbsolute when it comes to dealing with humans living in the real world.

Values cannot exist without truth and humans have always had values. They aren't always correct values but they aren't always incorrect either.
