Dream the Impossible by Honda - Reviewed-Movies.blogpost



I've just started the documentary series "Dream the Impossible" created by Honda Motors, all of things fact -or-fiction. I was led to by one of my favorite TV shows, Lost on ABC. (I've been trying to catch up on television.)
I've just begun it, and already it seems a profound interspection of robots and the use of robots that bring up questions of morality and technology.

Professionally done, it has the gloss of shows that would fine themselves in the same homes as those who would watch 20/20 or shows of that nature. yet still niche and accessible like shows on the increasingly popular "NatGeo" otherwise known as National Geographic.

And for the web-technically inclined, the site offers convenience, auto-pauses (Flash) film segments when ovening and closing overlaying information windows. Quite well done.
Within the first segment of the series ("Dreams vs. Nightmares"), I already find myself wondering who is the Director? After watching the strangely named "Kicking out the Ladder" I am led to wonder about the philosophy it puts forth.

I think it is best explained in the video itself. "Climb the ladder into the next room. Take away the ladder. Burn the ladder."

In short, this documentary series is technically gorgeous, inspiring, and a well done piece that handily portrays the overlap between corporate mission and corporate documentary.    Worth a watch.
