Watermark (2013)

Watermark: Directed by Jennifer Baichwal, Edward Burtynsky. With Inocencia González Sainz, Marcus Schubert, Bill Nance, Rafikul Islam Sarkar. A documentary on how water shapes humanity.

“This movie showcases the cinematographer/directoru0026#39;s beautiful eye. Thatu0026#39;s it. His ego is on display in the cinematography along with all of his indulgences. The images are beautiful, buy very bad storytelling. The opening of this file is interesting in that it gets your attention, but then quickly lost mine as I thought I was watching a silent film. This is not a documentary. The most dialogue happens around the 45 minute mark. I still donu0026#39;t know what their main point was for this movie. What is it about water that they are trying to get across? Basically, what I got of this movie is that they left it up to us to make our own conclusion about water. I watch movies so I donu0026#39;t have to come to my own conclusion. If I want only my own opinion then I donu0026#39;t need to watch a movie for that. Thatu0026#39;s an hour and half that I will never get back.”
