The Shore Benefactor

The viewer would find it hard to be able to tell that the film was a documentary if it hadn’t already specified so. This is because the narrative seems a lot more put together than documentation. The fishermen are casting their nets, and performing the ritual they usually would to catch fish, but the visuals turns an activity, a sight, so lively into something gloomy.

The best part about watching the sun, about being close to an ocean, are its colours, scents, and sounds. The violin score is surely great, but the documentary robs the viewer of an experience of nature.
