New York – Die Welt vor deinen Füssen (2018)
63KNew York – Die Welt vor deinen Füssen: Directed by Jeremy Workman. With Matt Green. For over six years, and for reasons he can’t explain, Matt Green, 37, has been walking every block of every street in New York City – a journey of more than 8,000 miles. THE WORLD BEFORE YOUR FEET tells the story of one man’s unusual personal quest and the unexpected journey of discovery, humanity, and wonder that ensues.
“In case you needed definitive proof how *safe it is in New York City in this decade, look no further. This doesnu0026#39;t have necessarily the most top notch or artistically ambitious direction (the cute score and reliance, maybe over-reliance, on drones for those BIG shots), but damn if this isnu0026#39;t one of themost fascinating documents of the human spirit in a long time. You learn enough about the guy, Matt Green, to understand but at the same time not fully understand why heu0026#39;s doing this. That may sound off, but you donu0026#39;t need to know his full back story; a few key details about a younger brother, a bike accident, and two exu0026#39;s are enough.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat makes it a subject worthy of cinematic exploration is really just… Seeing him walk. Sometimes he interacts and talks with the locals, other times he tells us a fact about something, like a tree that is the oldest in New York City, or landmarks in cemeteries that we take for granted or even the first birth control center from 1910u0026#39;s. Like the Mister Rogers documentary this year, the movie is really about human connectivity and how , if youu0026#39;re open to whatu0026#39;s out there and are genuinely curious, the World isnu0026#39;t such a bad place.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e* at least if you are white and man, but still I think my points can still be valid here.”
