Hm, what to say about the umbrellas. The idea was definitely a visionary one. Aesthetically they were beautiful in a way, definitely making the landscapes they graced something to take a double look at, but I have to question if they were worth it. Two lives were lost, many teams of hard workers had to put them up, take them down, try to put them back up in storms, take them back down, etc, and many on the team were treated horrible by Cristo and Jeanne. Now I will acknowledge that everyone volunteered for it and probably had an idea for what they were getting into, but it was a lot of trouble it seemed.
I really would like to know if the documentary just made Jeanne seem that self centered and maniac like. A lot of moments he was captured in was not a good light for him. But I've never met him so what kind of judgement can I pass...
The project just took so much time, energy and even lives. I would like to know if the artists felt it was worth it. If the viewers thought it was worth it....
