Overall the film was interesting.
I like how Derrida didn't want to be photographed and forbade it. I agree with why he did it. He was a writter and i think it's better to concieve your own image of what Derrida is through his writting as opposed to his photograph.
The two interviews in the extras were more direct and to the point. It didn't have him walking around or talking in conference rooms. It was stricktly an interview which made it easier to get direct information from Derrida.
I thought it was kind of ironic how he questioned the sex lives of Hegel and Heideger. When he was asked to get into his personal life he blaintly refused to answer any questions about it. He would give significant dates like when they met and were married but that's all he reveled about his personal life. It's interesting to watch his thought process too, he pauses a lot and you think he is going to come out with something important and then he'll just say he has no answer or give a vague one.
Derrida is Mysterious.

In my blog post i wrote about the photographs too. The idea of preservation is really interesting. Photos=death, a moment stopped in time and moment that can no longer exists in the presents or really in the mind. I never really looked at pictures as a death but I can see it as relavent.
I never thought of death in a picture either until we watche the movie over the past week. Beyond the death of a moment I feel like there migth be more to it. Someday, a picture will be the only things that are left of ones looks. It was just a moment in time yet it tells a lot of who a person truely was.
