Great documentary film recommendations

Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe, Niagara, machines

“An actress is not a machine.
But they treat her like a machine.
A money machine.”
-Marilyn Monroe
“I make work this way
because I want to be a machine.”
-Andy Warhol
I grew up in Niagara Falls where Marilyn filmed one of her first, if not her first leading role.

Long before physics knew it
You could plant
And cut years apart
Feelings laugh at space
and ending has nothing to do with Love
Love mocks it all
Happy to laugh at your misery
Your joy
It doesn’t go anywhere
It doesn’t travel
It’s already soaked everything through
