The 'Whatever' dude
There always has to be some idiot cynic come along and make an ass of himself doesn't there? What was that guy's trip?
shareI thought he was "hired" or scripted, at first, it seemed so off skelter. I was really upset at that guy. Knowing people like that in real life makes me wonder about his authenticity.

I feel the same way about that guy, but also people must realize that not everyone goes with the flow about everything. He was obviously just trying to work the bird feeder up into a flurry for his own betterment. There's always someone who wants to bring the house down, so I'm not too surprised, especially in a city such as San Francisco. Who knows where he's from, but he was a jerk either way. I thought it was a cool opening though.
shareI agree. I also felt that the encounter felt scripted. Their brief encounter allowed Mark to encapsulate very quickly and succinctly what the whole documentary was going to be about.
I also found it curious that the guy left and scurried away. Why did he do that? He had nothing to fear. Maybe because his job (acting as a foil to Mark's situation) was done??????
It could have been scripted, but if it weren't I can understand why he left. The cameras. Probably got a bit self-conscious that there was at least one camera trained on him.
I also suspect the encounter was much longer than what we saw, and due to the film's editing, it appeared as if he left away suddenly.
def and actor. You can tell because of the reverse angle shot. no way you can have a two shot dialogue without it being scripted..or having two camera setups, which i highly doubt they had.
