Come See Me in the Good Light
No dejo de pensar en cรณmo Andrea ve irรณnicamente su enfermedad terminal como un modo de salir de la depresiรณn y ver su vida con un enfoque mรกs alegre incluso en la cotidianidad. Y es justo a travรฉs de ese enfoque donde el documental toma base, pues en vez de buscar el camino manipulador para sacarle una lรกgrima fรกcil al espectador decide ser mรกs sincero y no mostrar el vivir con una enfermedad terminal como un espiral de tragedia sino como un punto de inflexiรณn que lleva a una persona a tomar un nuevo rumbo a su vida.ย Quizรกs no sea el pรบblico objetivo de los poemas y obras que hizo Andrea Gibson en vida pero debo reconocer un aprecio que tuve porque es a travรฉs de sus poemas en esta cinta donde vemos exponerse frente a la cรกmara sobre su verdadero sentir. Y aunque el documental toma un tono contemplativo para mantenerse al margen de las reflexiones y meditaciones de la protagonista, consigue el objetivo de convertir esta historia un material de legado acerca de cรณmo hasta el saber que morirรกs en menos de dos aรฑos puedas tener un cambio trascendental de tu vida

A life so full and yet it all seems so short. Cancer sucks. To go through it is painful, literally pain stretched out in all aspects. The physical, the emotional. And yet here, Gibson, in all her brute honesty, mustered up enough courage to still be playful and funny. It goes to show how we really do need humor as self defense against all our woes and worries. The whole film is a huge hug, a reminder of how much youโre loved and how much loving we are capable of. โ๐ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ด๐ต ๐ช๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ณ๐บ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ.โ One of my favorite documentaries Iโve seen in recent times.

Come See Me in the Good Light
"Anyone who thinks poetry is frivolous, has never needed someone to tell them something unspeakably hard, beautifully." As someone who is cripplingly afraid of death and just watched my lesbian aunt, who loves life and would live forever if she could, go through months of chemotherapy to fight ovarian cancer... i will admit i was avoiding this one for my comprehensive Oscar movie watching mission; because i knew it would ultimately terrify me and take an emotional toll on me when i did watch it. It did all those things alright, i was sobbing so much i almost threw up, but also the poetic voice that Andrea Gibson possesses in this doc shines through so brightly that their words provided a deep comfort. Verbalizing their experience with a profound clarity and perspective on the topic like i haven't experienced before; put into words as heartbreaking as they were accessible. the love they had in their heart so infectious it carried the spirit of the film from beginning to end. Also i decided to finaly get around to scheduling my BRC Assure Comprehensive Panel given my family history, so, yeah, thanks for that โค๏ธโ๐ฉน.
