America - Walt Whitman

About This Movie

America - Walt Whitman is a fascinating dive into the intersection of 19th-century poetry and 21st-century politics. The film weaves Whitman’s reflections on society into the fabric of contemporary America, particularly against the backdrop of the Kavanaugh confirmation. It’s got this unique tone, balancing somber and hopeful, which is a pretty rare feat. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to mull over the themes of democracy and social reconstruction. Sure, it's a documentary, but the way it visually interprets Whitman's words creates a striking atmosphere—almost poetic in its own right.
