beled_el_djinnI watched The Bridge over the weekend. I had figured that it would be pretty intense and depressing but I was sadly mistaken. Oddly, the main feature was, for the most part, kind of flat when it boiled right down to it. The one exception being the survivor they interviewed - he had this intensity which wasn't just due to the bi-polar disorder he suffered from, and what he had to say actually moved me.
Oddly, the 'making of' extra with interviews of the crew, was a far more compelling piece. The interviews were far more visceral than the ones in the actual feature, and you got the sense that the people involved in the production, weren't just emotionless drones going about the business of watching people kill themselves.
So yeah, I dunno if I'd recommend it to anyone. It isn't a bad film, its just ...not great.
