One particular scene is the funeral of Nigel, a man who lost his life due to the addiction. Rain In My Heart by Edgar Lee Masters There is a quiet in my heart Like on who rests from days of pain. 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. As with his other films, Watson established a relationship with the subjects during filming. Listen to Rain In My Heart on the English music album America by Modern Talking, only on JioSaavn. But all of these elements and attitudes of the filmmaker were performed in order to achieve a result of what alcoholism really is and of how serious and dangerous its consequences can be. When watching Rain in my Heart I felt that to say Paul Watson exploited his subjects is unfair. Boozenight is on Thursday, 13 December, at 10.30pm on BBC TWO. This film must encounter with some ethics problems and Pauls observational style should instigated arguments. 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. Firstly, there was given consent from all parties that took place. 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. 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. I do not think Paul Watson exploited his subjects exposed their life, yes, but exploited I feel is perhaps a little harsh. Hes film is an observational style and he stand back from the nature, but he needed to concern how he react when he encounter with ethincal problem. However, Watson once again denies accusations of exploitation for when he arrives at Vandas to see the door open and clarifies his reason for waiting by stating of course you wait, you dont just go in and more importantly, when the action begins to unfold with a drunken Vanda, Watson says that he must regain his job as someone there to just film what they do to their selves and reassures her that when she begins to talk delicately about her abusive past, that he will not use this footage in the future if she does not want to. He made it clear through out the film that he was never sure whether he should be filming his subjects or whether he should, at some points, be turning the camera off. Nigel, 49, has been dry for ten years, but the damage he has inflicted on his liver is irreversible. For before the revealing of the alcohol, Watson greets Vanda by pecking her on the mouth and cheek. She was also married to him. As much as rain can cause happiness, there are times when this phenomenon can cause distress. 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. Watsons past experience in using the observational documentary style in his films means that he is well adjusted to the style. Rain In My Heart is a 2006 documentary about alcoholism. Documentary which follows four alcohol abusers - Vanda, aged 43; Mark, 29; Nigel, 49 and Toni, 26 - from the impoverished Medway towns of north Kent. What I think is that Watson did not exploit his subjects in the film. In the moment where Vanda passes out from over drinking, and we see Watson check her pulse, to me I felt as if he was concerned, he didnt sit back and observe her in a blackened out state, he checked on her, he was her responsibility at that moment. I felt as if he cared for her wellbeing. 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. And the audience is living the pain through the subjects, and that is the best outcome to achieve, making the subjects exploitation almost worthwhile. I also believe Watson tried his best to tackle these accusations, baring in mind that overdoing it throughout the documentary could appear to undermine the actual traumas of the patients and their families. It is one of overwhelming sickness and reduced privacy/independence. Watson himself, also repeats that whilst he is filming them he will not intervene; it is his job purely to observe. I mean most people wouldntHer reaction to his question is also an example as she seemed to be in pain by his disbelief and lack of trust.she even said why else would she be in the state she is in if not because of the trauma she had been through? 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. This is a scene which perhaps does challenge the idea of ethics by posing the question of how FAR can we go to observe? Rain in my Heart Documentary which follows four alcohol abusers - Vanda, aged 43; Mark, 29; Nigel, 49 and Toni, 26 - from the impoverished Medway towns of north Kent. As for Nigel, it can be said that he was exploited less than others, because his wife was constantly present, therefore she could control the actions of the filmmakers.

It is complicated to say if Paul Watsons techniques were successful in the making of the film, as there are arguments from both sides. (LogOut/ For example, Vanda(I think its her name) points at her head and say it is there.

Therefore, i dont feel uncomfortable for his attempts within the film. Rain in my Heart (Full). Rain In My Heart by Edgar Lee Masters There is a quiet in my heart Like on who rests from days of pain. Rain In My Heart, was a very touching and eye opening film. To argue my point further, there is a particular example from Rain In My Heart that exemplifies this problem. Their harsh realities shocked me, however i found it extremely easy/automatic to empathise with them due to the methods of which Watson included, and the issues raised were heavily captivating. Also just to confirm Gillingham is a pretty shitty place to grow up in, so the documentary comes across as very sincere.

Otherwise it would not have been so real and touching and would not have had such an effect on those who watch it. There were a couple of moments where I felt that he distracted from what we really should have been looking at. I think this leads them to be manipulated easily. A stage of construction must have taken place and although the Documentary as a whole seems as real as possible because we take a true insight into the lives of severe alcoholics, Watson has already manipulated his Documentary by constructing the reality before the show had even commenced. So I didnt think that he has exploited his subject at all as this is what we as viewers needed to see. " "Before there is peace, blood will spill blood, and the lake will run red. Rain In My Heart is a weird documentary to watch for me because it is based very near my hometown. 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. 'Fires were started' (1943)may easily come across as simply a fictional film due to the stylistic use of non-diagetic sound and scripted narrative. 0 . Watson most definitely fulfilled what he set out to do and in order to do that, I feel he had to push the boundary as far as he did to achieve this hard-hitting documentary. (steering away from the public filming location of the hospital) and can we film them in such a vulnerable and dazed state? He found the only four people that were willing to take part in this film not to paint them in a bad light, but rather to show the general public what excessive consumption of alcohol could do to a person and how it can affect them physically and mentally, as well as their families. The seriousness of the topic in the documentary is emphasised through the filmmakers intimacy and relationship with the subjects. 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. Watson stated at the very beginning of the film that he would not intervene in the lives of the people he was filming and would not stop them from drinking if they relapsed. But I find he violated the rules of documentary as he did interfere with the subjects and pushed them to an extent that made them fall back. At one point it says: This type of documentary is not the best way to explain or explore alcoholisms origins. http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_7140000/newsid_7143600/7143616.stm.

These cut ins of his soul searching questions illustrate exactly his own empathy towards the subject at hand. Yes it is a devastating subject matter and yes the emotions that should arise in audiences should be just as devastating.

Raining in My Heart Lyrics The sun is out The sky is blue There's not a cloud To spoil the view But it's raining Raining In My Heart The Weather Man Says "Clear today" He doesn't know You've. On the other hand, i personally feel like people are indeed exploited. I do feel that in a way Paul Watson has exploited all of his subjects in this film. All Watsons subjects agreed to being filmed whilst they were drunk before the filming commenced, and so the question is not should Watson have kept filming?, but rather should Watson have included that part of the footage?. As a viewer, it was uncomfortable to watch Watson try and stay professional. Basically, I think Paul Watson is really successful in showing the facts and emotional stuff in this documentary. He faced their situations with the most possible respect. But I dont appreciate so much.

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. 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. Although, there are several moments when this filmmaker and subject relationship is close to breach, he retains his role of confidentiality and recognizes that the subject may not be too sober to make such ethical decisions of what they would like in the final cut or not. The subjects are very vulnerable and Watson knew this, therefore ethical issues due to the interference of reality from Watson. In one scene we hear Watson as whether or not the information he is receiving from one of the subjects would be appropriate to include in the finished product. Critical and disbelieving responses after giving personal information in a safe space, can cause as much pain and loneliness as the original abuse. Ive found this good review of the film on the internet: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1661761/.

This is a bit more than just explaining the distress the subjects are going through. Therefore, maybe his techniques did actually work quite well, although flawed and subjective in places. 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. Overall, I believe Watson does not exploit his subjects because they knew roughly what they were getting themselves into and because Watson simply observed with the camera the tragic events of the subjects that would gain the empathy of the audience towards the effect of alcoholism.

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. 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. He does however, tell her that he will ask her when she is sober if she wants to keep that in. 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). At this point, i would say, at least, it demonstrates the serious damage of alcoholism to many people like me, especially for teengers. This scene is perhaps one of the more uncomfortable in the film as Watson is merely documenting Vandas relapse back to alcohol and the range of mood swings she encounters. (2006). Watson himself has said that he received criticism for not helping his subjects; this could be an argument of him exploiting his subjects. At no point during the documentary did I feel that the filmmaker was exploiting the subjects, the recording of what can be described as personal and intimate situations felt more like a significant necessity with moral intentions towards bringing awareness towards the seriousness of the consumption of alcohol. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/7140605.stm.

My DF was a chronic alcoholic (who died after eventually committing suicide) and I grew up with my parents while social circle being people in AA and Al-anon so maybe it was less of a shock to me as I've seen most of this first hand.

Their addiction affected them not only when they were drunk, but physically as well as mentally, when they were sober too. Frank Sinatra Lyrics "Rain In My Heart" My eyes are dry, my love, since you've been gone, I haven't shed a tear, I'll never cry, my love, though every day seems like a hundred years, For I'm just a fool who clings to his pride but when I'm alone, I can hear the sound of rain in my heart, of the tears that I hide, During the film one of the subjects Mark says If I am not a advert for not drinking then I dont know what is. Mark may well have been a grey area and I wasn't sure whether he was so unhappy because of the drink or if he was using the drink because he was unhappy. I personally believe that the word exploit is quite a harsh word to put on the filmmaker without full justification, its made clear that the subjects wanted to be filmed, Watson treats this permission with a good amount of respect both for the subjects and the topic of the documentary whilst at the same time sustaining his role as the stand back and sympathetic-ear presence.

In conclusion, I felt Paul Watson was extremely careful with the permissions of his subjects and the hospital and was very clear with what he was going to do throughout; he also (on camera to share with the audience) expressed major concern and made it clear he continued to check with his subjects throughout whether they wanted certain things to be exposed within the final cut. 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. Mr. Stark was okay, although he still had scars from the snap. 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. In addition, it appears that Watson is aware of the delicate nature of the documentary and embraces this by stating that all the filming was agreed by the sufferers, in order to shy away accusations that he is exploiting the individuals which he observes.

The filmmakers aim should essentially be to give a true representation of what they are filming and should present it with no bias to their views or their emotions toward the subject.

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.
