Although I learned many interesting things about Ray Bradbury and respect what he has done, I don't think that I like him very much. Something about the way he handled the whole documentary sort of rubbed me the wrong way. Also, both sides of the quarrel between Ray Bradbury and the director of "Moby Dick" sounded like the petty squabbles among children. Although the descendant sounded very much like a bigot with the whole "holier than thou" approach to Ray Bradbury, Mr. Bradbury didn't raise himself above the situation by his reaction to the whole incident years before. Personally, I liked Ray Bradbury a whole lot better before I saw the documentary.

I found Ray Bradbury interesting. I thought it was pretty cool how the electric man was such a big influence on him. I never really knew him before I saw this movie, but I found that he was quite an interesting person. Also, I never knew how author's like him get crazy ideas. The most interesting part of the movie for me was when he stated that he creates a realistic problem and comes up with a fun solution. This will help me write Science Fiction assignments in the future.
