Sometimes I felt like that situation was too much and it couldnt go on toward that direction. I think theyre happy for the attention, to have someone to listen. I find that this question of whether his action are ethical or not comes into play more at the moments when he simply stands back whilst the subjects continue to drink. Several times in the documentary we see him struggle to make decisions on how he will proceed with the footage he has. The edit involves numerous repeats of dialogue from the patients, which is played at random and juxtaposing episodes, some even without the visuals which make it seem part of the dialogue (for example, when Vanda slams the phone down in anger). Just finished it and I wonder what happened to Mark and Vanda. Watson is not overly invasive at any point, and if anything my only criticism would be that he sometimes gives too much insight into how he feels about what is happening during filming, which I find unnecessary. I doubt he would have filmed the subjects in these environments if he himself doubted they would drop their barriers. The editing in this documentary played a huge part in how the audience saw and formed views about the subjects that Paul Watson was filming. Because Paul Watson deliberately interviews them after they are drunk. If she was lying she wouldnt tell him would she? We as a audience get to see his family grieving him when he dies and more importantly we see his wife looking after him when he is in his worst state and also coping with his departure. (2006).

I wanted to look away and the only reason I didnt was because I felt (as i think Watson does) an obligation to make a point of the four subjects publicized suffering. And it tells us a lot; it is educational, eye opening and informative. Critics also believe that the tragic scene of when Nigel dies in front of the camera is too much to be shown to the public eye and that he took full advantage of the emotional situation for his own benefit. That is a very emotional documentary that began in the hospital with 4 characters and ended in each of their homes- some of them were drunk, the rest are dead. At points during the documentary we can see that Watson is clearly affected by watching the subjects drinking habit, however he does mention that this observational style of filming and the stand back nature of it is much more achievable through separating ones own personal attitudes from the subject. There are multiple narratives that composes the documentary surrounding each alcoholic; delving into their health, issues and families through interviews and visual representations of their effects. Of the four, two die whilst in hospital and a third dies within five . Thats exactly what I think about the film: it is extreme and crude in some scenes but this cannot be translated as exploitation but as accurate and careful explanation and evidence of a serious phenomenon such as alcoholism. In Rain in my Heart she is living in a council flat. Four alcoholics in and out of hospital over a two month period, reality at its most real. I feel he mistakes this forced friendliness by asking more and more personal questions as he continues to film her. Rain In My Heart is a 2006 documentary about alcoholism. I believe he does ask himself sincere ethical questions and that he answers them truthfully. I believe it was not his job to cure the patients, neither was it to encourage them to drink, however his involvement with the hospital and its patients was simply to reveal the complex and brutal causes and effects of alcoholics. He'd been self-harming repeatedly and been in and out of a psychiatric ward. But I dont think he exploited anyone in his documentary. There were also times where Watson was rather firm and intrusive in his questioning of Vandas childhood and life. In all of these I recognise issues which could be perceived as exploitative. My point being, Watson could have constructed his Documentary in a more ethical way (probably without capturing the outstanding footage he managed to get) or could have been completely unethical by being dominantly intrusive and not taking into consideration personal boundaries, I do believe he has balanced these to an acceptable standard. I think that Watson when immersed with these subjects he formed a friendship with, learning to really like some of them and he himself tries to stop some of his subjects from drinking because he wants to see the best happen for them. The question of the ethics of filmmaking is clearly something that is troubling to Watson. Join Date; 14th June, 2011. 22/11/06 - 10:57 #8. This is also something Watson shouldnt go into. Thus exploiting their vulnerability to further push their weakness and end up with footage that will strike the audiences attention and maybe even get better ratings. I was completely satisfied with his attempts to deal with accusations of taking advantage of their vulnerabilities throughout the film. Overall, I see both sides of the argument. I do not think Paul Watson was exploitave in his filming. He never appeared to be controlling or interregative in a dominant sense, he remained calm when interviewing his subjects and took their replies without expresing his personal opinion. Rain in my Heart was an incredibly touching yet dark documentary about the wide spread issue that is alcoholism, and at points I was touched by the way in which Watson presented his subjects and their problems. She then replies with a smirk, Obviously. To illustrate, each of the documentary objects have had their own monsters in their heads, to my mind, they are in a sense weak or have a big weakness- alcohol, therefore Pauls use of characters (Vandas) confession about her monsters or at the same time the reasons why she might be came to drinking helps not only the filmmaker but us in getting closer to this unfamiliar woman and her story. However to me I felt that this is in some sense of vital information that we needed as viewers to understand and try to identify and sympathize with the reasons to why this person relies on alcohol. It may be their escape from their issues, and what I think is also important to keep in mind is that if they are using alcohol for this reason, then it could have easily been any other drug. Personally, I would much rather watch Robert Winstons documentary series on the human body which ended with the filming of a mans death, from cancer, than go Watsons questionable film techniques.

Paul Watson does a good job at creating face and gives the appearance of being genuinely interested and sympathetic so in that way it is easier for us to lower our defensive walls and absorb what the documentary is trying to tell us. I feel that to say Watson exploits his subjects within the film is unfair. This was mostly due to the fact that obviously he was filming people with huge vulnerability in their lives, therefore he was careful not to portray the situation as taking advantage of.

Comments KNWYRRTS says Secondly, Watson must have gone through a pre-planning stage where he would have had to choose the subjects he wished to include, therefore it couldnt have been as completely objective/unbiased as it seemed. The intrusion before we learn of sexual abuse is fitting because it prepares us for the horrible, rather than let the scene with Vanda play out suddenly for shock value. Moreover, one can say that the subjects were exploited not only in the aforementioned scenes, but generally throughout the film. Throughout the film, i found it almost challenging to watch as it touched on so many personal issues to Watsons subjects. United Kingdom, 2006. Rain In My Heart by Edgar Lee Masters There is a quiet in my heart Like on who rests from days of pain. We follow Nigel and his supportive wife Claire as they spend their final weeks together. So I guess Im not satisfied with his attempts to explain himself during the film, but only because I think he didnt need to in the first place. However I think that this documentary can appear that way simply because it is so intimate and explicit. He pressed forward with the interview and filmming in the crual moment such as his subject vomitted and had a hard time with pain. The subject is not exploited as she has consented Watson to film her in her most tragic state and all of this psychological revealing is not only for Watsons own good but for the audience as they are being warned off the overuse of alcohol. I think the problems of ethics in filmmaking cannot be solved. It is clear to me throughout, both when talking to his subjects and when talking to the camera itself that he becomes both emotionally involved and also continuously checks that he is keeping to his promises. Their addiction affected them not only when they were drunk, but physically as well as mentally, when they were sober too. This bereavement card features rain only over a tree with a figuring sitting beneath it. Obliging by the rules of observational filmmaking, Watson, on the whole, assumes a fly-on-the-wall position and captures the destruction as it unfolds. /Users/abgsaniya/Desktop/hqdefault.jpg.

There were no moments where I thought Paul Watson was exploiting his subjects in the film, I simply viewed him as an observational documentarist that attempted to explain the real horrors of self-harming through the use of alcohol. Overall, I do not feel that Paul Watson has exploited the subjects in his film. I personally think he dealt with this extremely well. On the other hand, I feel that some of the content included in the film did not have to be included.

Documentary, TV Movie. I feel sympathy towards the subjects because they were, maybe, unsure as to what they had agreed to, and what it involved. From a personal level I felt it was very moving and eye opening to me on this subject. So all these people dont mind being shown in their most vulnerable state on national TV and even Watson at times ask the subjects if they would like him to turn the camera off. Even if that wouldve been the case either way, I think as an observer you shouldnt encourage it. Its probably doing far more good than bad, just in terms of getting the reality of alcoholism out there. It serves its purpose of portraying the realities of alcoholism, and at times may seem harsh, but in doing so creates an ugly truth that otherwise wouldnt be seen. I want to quickly point out that, I didnt like the parts in the film where he became the self-reflexive type and centered the documentary on his own emotional state. During the documentary, Mark (one of Watsons subjects, aged 29) states that he agreed to do filming for Paul to show people why they should not drink alcohol. As with his other films, Watson established a relationship with the subjects during filming. Paul Watsons attempt to defend himself and his arguments against the accusations do make sense. The truth of this film is that it brings attention to parts of life that as a society we tend to stay quiet about and so by being a representation for people who go through something so scary, life changing and threatening it can never appear wholly ethical. It is true that his documentary can be judged and considered as an observational one: the filmmaker lets the interviewee talk about his or her problems and express all his or her weaknesses. The documentary follows four alcoholics in an observatory manner. Then again, as Watson argues: If some of us dont record it, none of us will know about it.. The film probably brought him a lot of attention (both positive and negative), which means hes profited from filming his subjects problems. WEEK 4 QUESTION:Are there moments when you feel that Paul Watson has exploited his subjects in this film? Here I refer to when he would talk to the viewer/camera about how he felt at certain points of the film it drew away from the importance of what he should have really been filming and instead became self indulgent within the context. Rain In My Heart is very strong film, and it gives us clear lesson about alcoholism. Alcoholism is a very sensitive subject for some and as a viewer I felt he was exploiting his subjects; to a certain extent. Directed by. This for me was an awkward introduction to have with a subject you are going to see go through an emotional and dark period. I personally feel as though Watson did not exploit his subjects as they all gave informed consent when they were sober and in hospital, under the supervision of healthcare professionals who could determine whether they were of sound mind, however this issue can be questioned at some points. As an audience member I am conflicted as to how satisfied I am with how Watson deals with accusations about him exploiting the audience. This was a devastating and emotional sequence for me. Paul Watson has none of this. I do feel that in a way Paul Watson has exploited all of his subjects in this film. Whats exploitation? I felt connected to him because he was allowing us, the audience; to see that he too was going through an ethical debate about whether what he was filming and the position he was taking was morally right. And it is also a good example to discuss the ethical issues in the documentary. I think it is not proper for observational documentary, Watson deliberately shows his audience of certain moments to lead them into a certain emotion, which i think might be too subjective. He puts himself in the film to explain how he felt at the time, allowing the audience to be involved in his own personal emotions whilst watching his film. Watson himself, in a cut away shot and voiceover reveals to the audience that in that moment he lost his ability to be able to detatch himself from a situation. Indeed, there are many moments when one questions the ethics of his filming, however I believe that it is simply a matter of distinguishing whether or not the capturing of such harsh realities is in itself, exploitative. For one the subjects were extremely vulnerable which raises the question on whether they were in the right state of mind to consent to being filmed and telling their story. Also, later on the film when he asks of the liability of the life experiences she has told him, I felt it was very unnecessary to show her breaking down. I find it hard to imagine a way Watson could have made this film without the, sometimes unjust, use of the subjects. However, this scene does give greatest insight in to why Vanda is an alcoholic, and given the nature of the documentary, this is a critical point that must be conveyed to the viewer to give most depth to the understanding of alcoholism. I felt that already Watson was too close to his subjects to represent them how he originally intended to. Filmed in 2006 the film. The fact he became emotionally involved with such a topic I believe would have helped; it was clear he so wanted them to stay off the alcohol and endure a full recovery. This sort of fly-on-the-wall documentaries and even reality tv shows have created are becoming more accepting of intruding on other peoples most intimate and private moments. Voyeurism this is not. It is true that there are not many cut ins of his own questioning however Watson thought it be inappropriate to constantly show his own personal struggles when his subjects are undergoing way more traumatic psychological illnesses. Rain In My Heart is a weird documentary to watch for me because it is based very near my hometown. One particular scene is the funeral of Nigel, a man who lost his life due to the addiction. It cant be argued that the documentary would have given Watson some amount of attention from viewers for filming subjects in the vulnerable state they were in, its in this sense that the word exploitation would be more appropriate. He explains himself, he is aware of what he is critised for, but overall has achieved an importantly informative film about alcohol and its effects. However, there is a clear relationship change when we see Watson come to Vandas house for the first time and through his camera both Watson and we, as the audience spectate that she is noticeably drunk and has brought herself another bottle of vodka.

From a documentarians point of view, Watson did a remarkable job of exploring the brutality of a taboo subject, but from a moral standpoint, the filmmaker may not have been exploitative in his actions but he was definitely extreme. It seems much so that Paul Watson is very much clear of his role within his observational style of filmmaking in his documentaries. He had been in a coma for weeks after his intended sacrifice and showed no sign of waking up. The decision to include this part of Vandas drunk dialogue is one that is certainly questionable, especially since we are not given evidence as to whether or not she did consent to the inclusion once sober. However, as an observational filmmaker, Watson has a certain obligation to the truth. I think that the mutual awareness of the situation between subject and filmmaker, despite the subjects inebriation, helps to prove that it is not exploitative. Listen to Rain' in My Heart on the English music album Wonderful Soundtrack by Slim Harpo, only on JioSaavn. I think that Rain in my Heart was a very interesting documentary to watch and posed many questions about the ethics of documentary filmmaking.

My beautiful wife, Denise . He witnessed some horrific scenes throughout filming and only once (that I can recall) did he step in to hand Mark a sick bucket and express disappointment to Venda for her choosing to buy a bottle of vodka. But for the families and subjects is must be/ must have been a very awkward experience even if they had consented to the film. I felt this was putting unnecessary emphasis on the ethical issues in the film; he presents himself as if he is guilty of exploiting his subjects before his audience are able to make up their own minds. The game uses a beautiful and funny graphics engine to make everything look. Here's one depicting true alcoholism in the UK, realism at its best. He leads the interviewees go into their deep heart and gradually express their ideas. Watching Nigel s family crying over his coffin is something that is upsetting and distressing for all. This is also made clear later in the film when he spends some time filming at one of the female patients, Vandas house. After filming Vanda revealing what the monsters in her head were, she states Im a little bit pickled (drunk), to which Paul Watson says Im taking advantage of you. After drinking heavily, people are definitely not in a normal status, which lead to a question that in what situation Paul Watson get the consent from these alcoholics. There are a few scenes that stand out as being the most exploitative. Tonis most exploitative scene, as I believe, is when she is shown unconscious a few days before her death. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rain-In-My-Heart-Documentary-In-Memory-Of-My-Dad-Toni-And-Vanda/233416877232.

This powerful documentary from fly-on-the-wall pioneer Paul Watson provides a raw account of four alcohol abusers from the impoverished Medway towns of north Kent. Explaining hell it is. This was maybe to excuse himself for what he maybe shouldnt have been doing and to tell the viewer that yes he thought it was wrong, but he was doing it for a reason to explore a topic that most people are scared of exploring. It is hard to be objective about this film because it is so easily relatable to me, I live equidistant from Medway hospital and Maidstone hospital, and most people avoid Medway because of its reputation. Whats offensive? Watsons interference with the subject is, for the most part, kept to a minimum, although the interviews and conversations he has with the subjects comes across as interrogative at times. Explaining hell it is! Watson had to exploit his subjects in order to create such an amazing film. For Watson asks: What would you class as an alcoholic? Toni replies: Someone who cant go a day without a drink. Once this is said, Watson slowly zooms in on her face and responds: but you told me there are days where you cant go a day without a drink. Watsons response to Tonis statement could be stated as being overly dramatic for the audiences benefit, therefore, compiling with Ellis and most documentary critics argument that the director is always more concerned with how the potential audience will perceive the subject and story than the subject themselves. This is not to say there isnt artful construction in the film. Other examples are when he continuing to film Nigels wife as she said goodbye to her dying husband in the hospital and when Vanda told a deep secret about the reason she became an alcoholic. But Ive never felt like Watson exploited his subjects. Maybe it could be argued that editing was used too much in this film as it told you how to feel at certain points. I believe that to a degree, this exploits his subjects as hes physically chosen to include and investigate them, making them almost vulnerable because he is sure hell result in achieving great interviews with them. The world was slowly healing. I have noticed that many people discuss this film on various alcoholism-related websites and quite a number of people stopped drinking after watching it or at least took it into serious consideration, and even if one person was/ will be saved by this film than it was definitely worth it. Seeing the filmmakers process on screen is great when theyre doing something that you need to see. It brought more power to the issues of alcohol and their lasting effects on the psyche. Maybe the subjects are letting Watson film them like this as a message to say this is a life you dont want to live and in saying that does Watsons exploiting of the subjects send a bigger message that in turn may help people going through the same things. The subjects had all agreed to be filmed but the thought of switching the camera off and helping must have been fairly strong. I do agree he is explaining in a graphic way the torment of being addicted to alcohol and the consequences that excessive drinking does to ones body. He says My job is to explain, not entertain. He faced their situations with the most possible respect. Also just to confirm Gillingham is a pretty shitty place to grow up in, so the documentary comes across as very sincere. I think the way though that Watson should come to it should be through meaningful tactics and not in ways that makes the subject feel smaller in order for the audience to feel bigger. Watson himself, also repeats that whilst he is filming them he will not intervene; it is his job purely to observe.

On the positive side of the argument I agree that Watson, through the cut away shots he includes throughout the film, allows himself to be more personal with the audience. Watson even edits in clips of himself discussing how he felt when seeing his subjects cross back to alcohol, he states I lost that remoteness that I have as a filmmaker I get emotionally involved with people but I manage to stand back and observe and I get a lot of critism for that. Mr. Stark was okay, although he still had scars from the snap. Perhaps the strong emotional shocked felt from watching it is more to do with fearing our own mortality. The issue raised here was that Vanda previously refused to tell Watson about her childhood, so only let it out when she was drunk, which one could argue is unethical as she is under the influence of alcohol so she is probably saying things she doesnt want to say.
