Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction

This documentary was deeply personal to me on so many levels.  I am sure that many people watched this film and wrote it off as something "where nothing happens".  Yes, exactly!  Like so many things in life you have to work a little bit to get the payoff.  I may not have had to work as hard because I could related to so much of what was said (and as was mentioned in the film, what was not said) in the documentary. Stanton may come off as someone that is not accessible.  At different times he gave almost complete non-answers to questions posed to him.  My guess is that - depending on the question - he was either not interested in the question or the answer was too personal.  Rather than humoring the person doing the interview he just shut it down.  But then at other parts of the film he would talk deeply and emotionally about another topic and he seems completely accessible.  He doesn't come across as an emotional person but then when you hear him sing (and boy can he sing) the words are dripping with soul. follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com
