DISCONNECT ME – THE MOVIE – NEW AUSTRALIAN DOCO


 
DISCONNECT ME – THE MOVIE – NEW AUSTRALIAN DOCO – Mobile Telephone addiction EXPLAINED in this detailed and thoughtful new documentary.

Recently whilst both watching and listening to the ELVIS MUSICAL at the State Theatre, there were seven women in the seats in front of me, and they were not illegally video recording the ELVIS MUSICAL. However each was holding the telephone in their hand, because they were all constantly waiting for the sms hospital message, to let them know that an organ donor had been found and that their LUNGS AND HEART transplant was awaiting their arrival at the hospital.

Again and again and again, their smartphone loudly chimed the arrival of a new sms hospital message, to let them know that an organ donor had been found. Again and again and again, they did NOT rush to the hospital. Before interval a very loud and obnoxious telephone ring tone was heard, along with the audience SHOUTING turn off the telephone, followed more than twenty seconds later, by the one very loud voice drowning out ELVIS as she screamed SORRY I FORGOT TO TURN OFF THE PHONE.

Once we were old enough, my parents took the whole family to the Sydney CBD cinemas every week. Thus began a lifetime interest, in going to the cinema every week, and became a passionate cinephile by watching all those very heavily edited ''Australian Film Censorship Board'' true cinéaste versions of brand new release ''Cinematograph Films''. Greater Union always gave my father (who worked in Cinema Distribution Exhibition) guest double movie passes, to every first-night ''red carpet Opening Night'' at The State Theatre Cinema at 49 Market Street. Up until his death, my dad always received ''two house seats'' for every Opening Night performance events at the Theatre Royal SYDNEY and at Her Majesty's Theatre SYDNEY. As a child, when mum choose not to go, I often went with him, to those live performance events. As a young child, I remember being taken for each new show, at both The New Theatre at 60 Sussex Street, and the Phillip Street Theatre when located at 150 Elizabeth Street, and for classical music concerts at Sydney Town Hall. = = = ★★★★★ = = = Being happy is a choice, and I have always viewed my life, as material ready be made into a series of amazing tentpole movies. My New Years Resolution is kept every year: ''Get to see/review five new live theatre shows each week, and get to see/review six new cinema movies each week'', plus is one of the Australian Cinema Pioneers, and apparently have seen far too much already, but always wanting to experience more and more each year. I am also able to do almost everything that I enjoy doing. Yes, I do have a great daytime job in I.T. as ''Software Design Project Manager'', PLUS each evening until quite late - - - Australian Cinematograph Films historical censorship consultant - product-placement consultant - mystery-shopper consultant - playwright, writer, author, director, producer, photographer, cinematographer, color-grader, subtitles proofreader - arts/ drama/ music/ film critic and judge, journalist, member FIPRESCI & FCCA & AFCA, member AACTA accredited film reviewer-critic-writer, accredited IMDB.COM critic-reviewer-author, projectionist, plus an innovative iconoclast - - - ★★★★★ LYNN BELVEDERE ★★★★★ - - - [usr 5] - - -
