I hate definitions and those that are not defined have a hard time.
Being yourself is probably the hardest thing to do. I like avoiding the obvious and I think James Bird avoids it elegantly keeping the story line true. It is not easy to talk about dying without religion. I enjoyed the lightness of the narration, the taking hold of their life and making it memorable. I do believe it fundamental to making it memorable in the little things in order to make it worth its real value for any person. I think we should talk more about people without the temptation to judge them especially those that are true to themselves.
I have seen in the movie a collective effort and it does manage to avoid stereotypes.
No fancy production but a perfect use of the essentials for movie making.
Keep it up guys!!!
