Almost There: Journey to Discover the Secret to Happiness | Real Stories Full-Length Documentary

[@mearls242]

The actual film making in this presentation is amazing. Low light, tight spaces, intimate portrayal of subjects who are (theoretically) not professional actors, beautiful landscapes and skyscapes, city streets with no extra people…all spectacularly done.

[@naejin]

50:27 precisely how i feel. No point in rushing towards it. It will always be there waiting for you.

[@sassynana5201]

Well done! The music, editing, lighting, settings.. perfection.

[@craigjohnston3509]

it was beautiful wasn't it

[@friendformationbot]

im an artist professionally, i pay my rent and food by doing hands-on work every day with skills i trained on equipment and supplies i make and own. if you dont want to end up like the guys in this doc please think long and hard about just working in an office your whole life, doing alienated labor. because this is where that gets you

[@TradingTheBias]

That was so funny when he threw the door out of the RV because it was squeaking. I would totally do that too.

[@friendformationbot]

it actually shows how limited his thinking is and why he's in this mess in the first place. he could have just shut the door. or oiled it. instead he spent 15 minutes taking it off its hinges and now has no door on his bathroom. its 60 IQ behavior

WELL I DID SAY THERE IS NO JOY IN THIS WORLD BUT I AM GLAD IT DOES NOT TAKE MINE AWAY

Brrrrrrrrr Brrrrrrrr, hacky nocky ini nocky cacky cookie ohh. This part of the documentary is probably the best part, anyone else find themselves participating. 🤣😂🤣

I’d love to see an update….how life is going for these men.

[@carolinareaper8089]

When we are young we work and work and do not live. When we are older and retired we don’t have money and strength to live the dream 😮 this is so sad :/ we will never be happy 😮😢

[@grannygoes7882]

I've tried to watch this and it's so slow moving I fall asleep. Did they find hapiness?? ;-)

[@mrgillagorilla]

We all need to get away for this corruption in this world

[@wolfmoon3431]

It seems this documentary was more about the search for oneself than the search for happiness. If happiness was the destination, I'm not sure these men found it but it was a compelling film nonetheless and I wish all the participants which, were featured, well in there individual journey's and hope that they find peace, contentment and at least, some moments of happiness in their lives, going forward🌠💕🌠

This is one of the most depressing things I've ever seen. It was good, but still super depressing.

"It was good, but still super depressing" is a good line for a tombstone.

Is it happiness or contentment where you are at a certain point in your life? Should you take chances and what are your limitations with those chances?

[@shawnnewell4541]

The American guy is from Seattle! My hometown.

[@bobjary9382]

He done ok then ! Plenty seem to opt for fentanyl and meth inna tent

[@friendformationbot]

thats why hes so annoying

[@bsways]

More chance of someone robbing his unlocked RV than it burning down

[@ciararespect4296]

So many annoying blaring adverts in between a fairly quiet audio with too long pauses and music even drowning that out at times Shame because some of it was thought provoking about how short life is in reality Seems like the rv guy has the worst deal

[@naejin]

What seems to be missing is wider perspectives, such as women. Maybe they should do a sequel with women?

[@TheElizabethashby]

I HAVE JOY AND NOT OF THIS WORLD

[@thatomofolo452]

Hmmmm 🤔 learn or perish 👈👈💯

Very poignant. Can totally relate to all their stories.

"Wet Leaves" made me feel sad and angry. What are we doing with our lives?

[@oldhickory4686]

In regards to the man traveling in the RV alone. That seems like a very depressing existence. I believe even in old age, you need to engage with something and accomplish things. Staring out into the ocean with a cup of coffee gets old really quick. Want to know the secret to life and happiness? John 10:10 KJV ... I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (Jesus Christ) Then you can have joy in this life, and in the next.

Everybody has a story these days. Where was it before all these online technologies?

[@vivalaleta]

We never knew their stories but they existed. What's yours?

[@ecocodex4431]

It wasn't written down because most people were too poor to tell their stories. Now everyone has the ability to tell their life. even you

[@laneatkinson6441]

Everyone has a story, but not all of them are told.

[@ritagoforth2317]

I'm still watching this and it's almost over but I think our ASIAN gentleman is the happiest. The female impersonator is next followed by the guy in the trailer. We all have to come to our own conclusions.

Story moves too slow to hold my interest

[@friendformationbot]

this is a god doc but the color grading is HORRENDOUS. vile blue/orange 3DLUT and the film footage from the RV guy's childhood is very very badly colorized.o

[@ecocodex4431]

To the people complaining: Maybe this channel is showing vids of drag queens because y'all made it a hot topic by suddenly pretending to care about them due to lies and misinformation about child predation? If y'all righties left LGBTQ people alone and stop trying to deny them rights, there would be less need for more videos discussing trans and gender nonconforming lives.

[@SirGriefALot]

What 'rights' do you want that you don't currently have?

[@SM-yq8tm]

I don’t see any comments complaining about drag queens.

[@koffinkat666]

Let me guess.....You saw a Drag Queen and started to knee jerk hate?

[@naejin]

From what do you consider the high point of this channel? Carts of Darkness? I found this to be rather depressingly slow, but still interesting albeit a bit inconclusive.

[@bobjary9382]

@koffinkat666 Not me, drag as pictured here is much underrepresented in popular media and this part was nice to see even if the overall piece was dull. For a.long time large men have stuffed themselves into spangly dresses to deliver ultra blue stand up to mixed mostly hetero working class audiences in their natural habitat. Its a midlands/ northern england thing and doesnt exist in the more cosmopolitan wealthy south, and since manufacturing and heavy industry was decimated in t h e north drag and the importance of working mens / union-affiliated clubs has been in decline .

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

​@@bobjary9382 Ru Pauls show has been a major series for so long Also drag is huge now in the media, they're pushing it on kids through advertising and music

[@motojunkie8348]

If being trans makes you happy then why do 42% of them off themselves?

[@naejin]

Although I don't know where you got your statistics, the ones that do, probably do from the isolation they feel when most of their family abandons them.

[@bobjary9382]

...and this guy does drag ..not at all the same thing. Check the realness

[@naejin]

@@bobjary9382 Although drag is not the same as trans, they can often get similar treatment by people who are afraid of something they don't understand/empathize.

[@bobjary9382]

@@naejin Very true ...often these misconceptions are at the heart of peoples fear and prejudice . A little understanding and education often allows folk to realise their worries are misplaced and groundless.
