This is an interesting film by an accomplished film maker (Phil Leirness). I enjoyed the film even though i had little interest in Dean Haglund. The first half of the film is more focused on the chaotic nature of Dean's life and the interest of his fans. As the film develops more time is given to the deeper concepts such as: Why do some people feel the need to dis-trust government so much? Whats important in life?
Also, the film considers questions like: Do some people behave in such a way because they have empty lives? When they get to the "answer" to their "question" will they feel better?
I found the questions and answers the film looked to answer and found to be helpful, and am happy that film makers have the time to make films that are able to question issues such as these.
At the end of the film i came to the conclusion (mostly thanks to the scenes of Dean's brother-in-law and sister) that life is short and the smaller we keep our view of the world the more likely our lives are to be happy. Complicating our lives with things we have no chance of changing or understanding only makes us unhappy.
