Man, what balls did the directors have to go back and question people.
Maybe they didn't know any better but they tipped their toes in a rigged game where they couldn't come out winning.
South East Asia in 2010 was a very crazy place to be. (it probably still is) You could quite easily spend your time doing touristy stuff but and maybe get ripped off at the market.
But vices were all very available and if you chose the "dark side", roots ran deep and it wasn't a good place to be for a foreigner.
South East Asia is a freaking paradise. The last thing you think of while over there is killing yourself but yet... Many tourists seem to go out that way and there's no explanation for it. It's probably less paperwork for the local authority.
Jani Raappana was clearly a character.
His charisma and reckless behavior resonates the stories about Neil Casidy or William S Burrough.
The appeal is hard to explain. It's probably because our lives can be so complicated and those people have chosen to live theirs in such a simple way.
"Press the pleasure button and crank everything to 11." Something most of us don't really have the balls to do but kinda wish we did.
27 is an interesting year to die. Hopefully it was long enough for him to enjoy it.
I don't know what the directors are up to these days but keep it up guys.
Make more films.
This and Reindeerspotting are 2 movies that expose the sad reality of so many human beings on this planet in a way that is hard to come by.
