Film review of the upcoming documentary about The Villages

Ezra Haber Glenn | MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning I have to wonder how and why he zeroed in on three unhappy people in The Villages. I think he had an agenda before coming here. |
What a load of crap.

I agree that it looks like a somewhat negative take, but I will definitely watch it.
|
Like the author of "Leisureville", the people behind this clearly have a negatively driven agenda.

You know what they say about opinions. One says it, another agree’s, now all sudden it fact! Repeat it enough and now it’s true story.

I will definitely watch it but it sounds like it really isn't about "life in The Villages" but rather three stories of unhappy people who could live anywhere.
The first story is the guy living in his van. He isn't even a resident, just some bum looking for a free ride. Second is a married couple where the husband is ... acting odd ... as he gets older. Maybe cognitive/dementia issues? Could (and does) happen any and everywhere. And the third is a woman who moved here with her hubs to live happily ever after, he dies unexpectedly and she is left in less than optimal financial shape. Again, a universal story that, sadly, happens all too often all around the world. That said, the cinematography looks lovely (based on the trailer). It will be fun to do a movie night with Sissy and BIL to watch. kathy |
Looks like it will be good for a few chuckles

How is this any different than the network news channels? They find an example of something that matches their agenda and that’s the “news” they promote. Based on the “news” you would believe that unarmed blacks are killed daily by police. You would believe that ICU’s across the country were being overrun by Covid patients. The only reason you realize that this movie about The Villages doesn’t represent the vast majority of the residents is because you actually know firsthand. If you didn’t live here you would probably believe that it was a true representation of life in The Villages...

If the movie was completely unbiased and factual, it would be boring and wouldn't sell. Instead it resembles the crap you see on the magazine counters next to the checkout at your local supermarket. It might be fun for residents to watch, but will make outsiders think that everyone here is a bit crazy.
