So, 'Old Man' is this intriguing blend of animation and documentary that really digs into the mind of Charles Manson, who's been this enigmatic figure for decades. You get to hear these actual phone conversations between Marlin Marynick and Manson after years of silence, which creates this eerie, almost claustrophobic atmosphere. The animation adds a surreal layer to the whole thing, making the dark themes even more unsettling. The pacing? It's a bit slow, but it builds this tension that's hard to shake off. You can feel the weight of Manson's words and the bizarre reality of his twisted ideology. It’s not your typical documentary; it’s more like a psychological exploration wrapped in a unique visual style.
Check the animation style; it's quite unique.The phone conversations really steal the show.Manson's perspective is haunting and thought-provoking.
