I Yam What I Yam
In 1929 monocular vision was not limited to the gaze of telescopes (Edwin Hubble) or movie cameras (Dziga Vertov). 1929 was also the year that the one-eyed, "strong to the finish" sailor named Popeye was first introduced to the United States as a comic strip character. And, even after 75 years and 234 movies, Popeye's rebel yell for the common good, "I yam what I yam" still resonates with the hope and conviction of his visionary colleagues. A very interesting and original experimental documentary.
