Interviewees address Morris's image on the monitor while looking directly at the camera, which let Morris and the audience achieve eye contact with his subjects.ġ. In the making of this film, Morris used a device he created called the "Interrotron," which allowed Morris to project his image on a monitor placed directly over the camera's lens. The interviewees occasionally make funny comments, but the humor of the film arises from old movies and cartoons inserted at poignant moments. The theme that ties the four projects is life: plant, animal and robotic.
The four figures discuss their respective lifelong projects and reflect on what their subjects tell us about life and human nature.
