The King of Laughter:
I really enjoyed the style of the documentary, it focused heavily on the joy in their faces and the way they laugh to have fun. It was about how the town of Walsall was supposedly the unhappiest place in Britain but Belachew Girma believed that he could change that make it a better place. The man truly believed that laughter was a very important part of life and wanted to show people its free to enjoy. However, I didn't really like how fast they cut away to other things and rushed through certain shots I would rather they just slightly longer and could be appreciated more.
Karl Pilkington Health:
I believed his idea was in the right place and that initially this was to be about health and fitness, however he soon went on to almost be prejudice although he claims not to be towards homosexuals and clearly believes that there is more gyms around because he has a already fully produced stereotypical idea about what homosexuals look like and want to do. He believes that they are the ones that want to look fit and healthy almost insinuating in my opinion that if you want to as well you are probably a homosexual. He later goes on to say a tortoise lives for 250 years without doing exercise which is a fine and fair fact however a person and a tortoise are in no way similar or have the same requirements. I did enjoy the personal feel to the documentary as there was nothing more than just his own opinion and voice.
The wall - 3 minute wonder - Pure Evil
This is a documentary about a man, who is what I assume to be a professional street artist painting a unicorn with a rocket for a horn with a rainbow in the background. He says that he hates most people especially the establishment and sees this as his own way of getting back at them. He says that people used to paint over his work and then he would go and re-paint it. As much as I do not agree with street art unless it is in a hidden or reclusive area he does say he now considers where it is he paints and that he knows there are some places you probably shouldn't do it. I liked that it was a very simple and easy to follow documentary and that you could easily see. hear and understand what it was he was trying to do and get across.
