Few moments looked like they were Staged


1. Not sure if Tim was allowed to see Vermeers painting in Buckingham palace. There was audio video mismatch when he was explaining how emotional it was for him to see the painting in real. I don't think he was allowed to see the painting.
2. The story about the heater being brought inside the house and they going cuckoo on account of that seemed like a plot filler.
3. So did the thing about mental block, while he was drawing/copying the blue chair.
4. Finally, and most importantly Tim's crying in the end looked very artificial. I don't think an inventor can really feel emotional about art. I feel Tim is more of a guy who tries to solve problem and move on to the next one. This painting is one such thing to him. It would have looked very real if he had hi-fied or hurrayed in the end, but crying... i don't think that is fitting.

I do think it's a great documentary, but i feel there is a bit of tweaking by directors to connect with audience.

C'mon. The story took place over three years and moved as slow as molasses. Thank goodness for filler material.

Plain old documentaries ARE boring. You just can't avoid that. I'm happy they may have made-up additional content.

Strangely I don't agree with a single thing you're saying.
