“Oh would some power the gift give us
To see ourselves as others see us.”
Robert Burns, Scotland’s most famous poet, wrote those lines in 1786.
Actually, he wrote those words like this. . .
“O wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us.”
(I had to wrestle spellcheck into finally letting me type Burns’ Scottish dialect.)
Of course, 235 years ago, Burns was not writing about a documentary. But like all writers, he knew plenty about human nature.
I just read a couple of other articles about this film. One was in Variety and the other one can be found at
businessdoceurope.com — if you want to read that one Google the site with the words, the bubble, and you’ll get there. Not everything said in the articles was mean.
