i watched this last night. lately i've been straying quite a bit from films and leaning more toward television shows. there's just a greater feeling of investment in characters and plots when you see more than two hours of them, you know? now it sounds like my life revolves around television characters. anyway, i really miss watching and loving films. i decided to delve into the documentary section last night because i rarely browse that netflix field. i was pretty pleased with indie game: the movie. i'm not exactly a big gamer. my game days sorta ended with super nintendo. but i really, really enjoyed everything about this documentary. it was so interesting, partly because i had no idea about the indie game world or that it even existed. but the games actually seem a little awesome and i'm tempted to explore them a whole lot more. i also liked the idea of the indie concept. these game creators were so passionate about what they made and didn't feel the need to succumb to working for giant game corporations if their product went sour. they didn't make games for money or recognition, but because it was the only way they knew how to express themselves. ok, that sounded rather sappy, but the film was so fascinating and--here comes more sap--inspiring.
