Review of 21 Up (1977) by Lester Y — 12 May 2009
Some of the children have grown into the people you expected. Some have not. I found it interesting how when they talked about the film series they discussed to pointless nature of it. I think they thought about it too hard.
The point is to see the unpredictability of life and how we are not really in control of our futures. They also talk about how they are judged by what is shown on the film and not by all the things they did to get there.
I say what they answer the questions with shows us more about them than seeing what they do every step of the day.So far this is an excellent series. We are still seeing these people from a time that has long passed and I look forward to seeing how they change as the world goes into fast forward in tech and thinking.
