[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 332616, member: 23"] This has made me ponder how each documentary plays independently, such as whether someone who only watches one of the later documentaries would find it satisfying because of the clips from earlier films. The way I'm watching at the moment feels very in harmony with my other current scheduling. With the last episode approaching I've been regularly tuning in to [I]Neighbours[/I] for the first time in several decades, and I'm seeing these characters who I remember being teenagers and twenty-somethings now in their fifties with different priorities and responsibilities. Some traits are very recognisable but I can also clearly see change and growth. It's fascinating to put the pieces together and map out how they got from there to here based on the limited information I have. It's similar to those friends and relatives I see very infrequently, or physically seeing people after lockdown. The changes in them are far more noticeable than they would be if I saw them every week. I'm very curious about the process. I've read that each participant's interview took two days per film averaging six hours in total, but I'm more interested to see if there's any kind of hierarchy to the relationship. Obviously when they first met him, they were very young and he would have been an adult and quite possible a kind of authority figure to them. It can be hard to change that kind of foundation, so I'm already wondering how it will shift as they head into middle age. Will they challenge him more or become more revealing because they view him as an old friend. Yes, the more I think about it, the more I think you're right. I suppose we only have four years to wait to see if it happens. [/QUOTE]
