About This Movie
So, 'How to Be a Man' is a curious little documentary that dives into the world of educational films aimed at teaching boys about masculinity. Curated by Skip Elsheimer, it really feels like a time capsule of Americana. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that actually adds to its charm – you get these snippets that are both educational and sometimes just plain bizarre. The tone oscillates between earnestness and absurdity, making it hard to look away. The practical effects? Well, they’re pure low-budget magic, and the performances… let’s just say they have that distinct, awkward charm you can’t help but appreciate. It’s a fascinating glimpse into how boys were shaped by media in a bygone era.
