However in the documentary there is a shot of him asking Why am I asking you to watch Nigel die? and he then says that Nigels wife, Kath, had wanted it to be shown so that the audience would be made fully aware of the consequences of alcoholism. We follow Nigel and his supportive wife Claire as they spend their final weeks together. He just tried to observe that and filmed everything as it is, while they I assume from the very beginning had agreed to be filmed in any state they are.

When he interviews his subjects when they are drunk, the woman speaks of her monster inside, she used to suffer from sexual abusing by her father. He does however, tell her that he will ask her when she is sober if she wants to keep that in. I think that Watson when immersed with these subjects he formed a friendship with, learning to really like some of them and he himself tries to stop some of his subjects from drinking because he wants to see the best happen for them.

This allowed the subjects to be themselves around him as Mark said that he didnt hide his bottle of wine from Watson and the camera because this is what the film is all about. I feel that to say Watson exploits his subjects within the film is unfair. In making Rain in my Heart I would need to film people with troubled psyches; people within which gremlins and monsters lurk producing psychological pain and miseries, miseries that often push them to self-harm. Troubled Toni, 26, merely laughs at warnings that continued drinking will mean death. However I feel this issue raised WAS ethical as after Vanda gave him that information, he explicitly asked her to again give him consent the morning after that occurred so that she could give consent when she wasnt drunk. I think Paul Watson has exploited his subjects in some point. 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. During the documentary, Mark (one of Watsons subjects, aged 29) states that he agreed to do filming for Paul to show people why they should not drink alcohol. This means as subjects they must think the documentary will help. Thats exactly what I think about the film: it is extreme and crude in some scenes but this cannot be translated as exploitation but as accurate and careful explanation and evidence of a serious phenomenon such as alcoholism.

The film probably brought him a lot of attention (both positive and negative), which means hes profited from filming his subjects problems. Although it could be argued that this footage is showing Vanda what she is like when she is drunk, I would say that her answers might have been different if she was sober when she was asked them. To this statement Vanda agrees and understands the relationship between the two of them. 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.

Throughout the film, i found it almost challenging to watch as it touched on so many personal issues to Watsons subjects. There were some scenes in which the people he was filming were obviously out of it and not at all in a healthy condition, physically or mentally. Its hard to give a black or white answer of whether or not Paul Watson exploit the subject. Rain In My Heart is a documentary that is observing four alcohol abusers Vanda, aged 43; Mark, 29; Nigel, 49 and Toni, 26 from the impoverished Medway towns of north Kent. I do feel that in a way Paul Watson has exploited all of his subjects in this film. However I think that this documentary can appear that way simply because it is so intimate and explicit. '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. On the other hand, I feel that some of the content included in the film did not have to be included. Also, i think observation style makes audience to get more shock by the scene without explanation. On the one hand, Paul Watson did get these peoples consent to be filmed. Watson edits and cross-cuts footage to emphasize reccuring themes across the alcoholics. Alluding to the culture of exploitning woman, as well as Spielbergs film being a commercial (and one which ends with a very colourful, affirming ending) intent makes it a machine absording actresses and horrors for the output of satisfying drama. I immediately recognised the castle in the establishing shot in the opening sequence and was taken aback that this documentary was made literally where I have grown up and gone to school. The subjects are very vulnerable and Watson knew this, therefore ethical issues due to the interference of reality from Watson. Or when Nigel downs a glass of red wine. 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). Whats offensive? The veins in her legs have contracted because of alcohol, making walking difficult. Due to the nature of the subject, I believe there were always going to be complex ethical issues in terms of filming. I found the piece riveting but extremely disturbing. 2 . Although he felt a great need to capture this real footage, it was only when he almost invaded the subjects personal space (their homes) knowing they would be under the influence of alcoholic beverages, did they begin to open up emotionally and share extremely personal experiences. In my opinion, this exploited them as the repetition was giving them a personality that they do not possess and is therefore, a form of misrepresentation. It followed the treatment of four alcoholics in one NHS hospital in Kent (the only one that would let him in). Rain in my heart; rain on the roof; And memory sleeps beneath the gray And the windless sky and brings no dreams Of any well remembered day. It is true that Watson recorded all of what the people he met were saying, even the most intimate and private details of their existence. Louis Theroux reveals his favourite documentaries, all available on BBC iPlayer. Nigel, 49, has been dry for ten years, but the damage he has inflicted on his liver is irreversible. 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. Rain in my Heart is a powerfully, touching film. I feel like Rain in My Heart must be a controversial documentray in terms of how dealing with the ethics in this film. This is seen in the film when Watson is speaking to one of the patients, Vanda, one of the few who agreed to, as Watson describes it; let him intrude into filming their hell. Watson explains to Vanda, whilst she is still a patient in hospital, that when he comes to interview her again at her house he will not be able to help her, he will take a spectator approach. Paul Watson. I think the fact that this documentary is so hard to watch gives light to the reality that alcoholism is incredibly hard to live with, and by being so thorough the film shortens the gap between subject and audience. Change), You are commenting using your Twitter account. This is not to say there isnt artful construction in the film. This is the only area where I can see possible wrongdoing on Watsons behalf. I believe he does ask himself sincere ethical questions and that he answers them truthfully. This specific example also leads me to point out how, by digging deep into these miserable cases, the audience would get a clear idea of WHO alcoholics really are and HOW they got involved with alcoholism. Another point in this film is when Paul Watson films a drunk subject who discusses the, monsters in her head, which she previously was not ready to do. I think the way though that Watson should come to it should be through meaningful tactics and not in ways that makes the subject feel smaller in order for the audience to feel bigger. When researching the film I found a web page (which is a old BBC one). Watson intrudes on his film, importantly (and rather unromantically, when we consider the idea of immersive movie magic) shows him forging all the social contracts with his subjects at the start. Voyeurism this is not. Whats exploitation? It is a difficult film to watch because of the subject matter it deals with. There is also the repetitive clip of when Vanda says her monsters are in her head. Twenty-nine when he appeared in. It would have shown their time off-screen, sitting in a dressing room, preparing themselves to go on-camera, also chatting and gossiping, then being lined up by the assistant director and going through the magic momentthe transformation into character.

Another was "drinking less" but needed a Zimmer frame with which to walk; she's 43. 0 . I feel he mistakes this forced friendliness by asking more and more personal questions as he continues to film her. - My Last Drunk Home About Us Alcohol Abuse Affects Your Health Alcohol Abuse Affects Others My Last Drunk Alcohol Abuse Rain in my Heart (Full). Watson himself has said that he received criticism for not helping his subjects; this could be an argument of him exploiting his subjects. He witnessed some horrific scenes throughout filming and only once (that I can recall) did he step in to hand Mark a sick bucket and express disappointment to Venda for her choosing to buy a bottle of vodka. The fact that two of participants died during filming is grim testimony to the illness of alcoholism. I particularly found the way that Watson asked questions respectable, when talking about the monsters in Vandas head she stated she didnt want to talk about it and he was reassuring and moved the conversation away from them. On the positive side of the argument I agree that Watson, through the cut away shots he includes throughout the film, allows himself to be more personal with the audience.

"My heart is aching. Are you satisfied by his attempts within the film to deal with such accusations? Also when he went to Vandas house and interviewed her, he didnt stop her to drink alcohol. Before i didnt know that alcoholism could lead to such a terrifying state and even death. I believe it was not his job to cure the patients, neither was it to encourage them to drink, however his involvement with the hospital and its patients was simply to reveal the complex and brutal causes and effects of alcoholics. For before the revealing of the alcohol, Watson greets Vanda by pecking her on the mouth and cheek. Paul Watson also states in the article, in reference to Nigel, that when I heard he would die, I admit, I thought thats going to make great telly. On Thursday, in a special follow-up film for Newsnight, Paul revisits two of the alcoholics from the film, plus the widow of one of those who died during filming. This sort of fly-on-the-wall documentaries and even reality tv shows have created are becoming more accepting of intruding on other peoples most intimate and private moments. However, it doesnt justify the ignore her drinking even he had a chance to stop her. Although the documentary is very intimate, in both its setting and the framing of the subjects as the yellow-y and fatigued skin of the subjects is shown through close ups. Another point worth making is that every person has a different view of whats going too far. When he asks of her troubled past, he is very interrogative as he continues to ask until she is brought to tears by the discussion of her brothers death, but rather than stop, he pushes on. This is distressing viewing, so bear that in mind if you plan to watch it but I thought it was also great reminder to keep on doing what i'm doing and staying off the booze. Thus exploiting their vulnerability to further push their weakness and end up with footage that will strike the audiences attention and maybe even get better ratings. Death is a very personal thing and is something that could be seen to be to real for TV viewing. such as askingcan we enter the subjects house? Rather, this extreme showing of suffering is an eduction, to open the spectators eyes to this disease and its effects. I do not believe that Paul Watson was dealing with the accusations successfully, but I also do not believe that he was making this film completely selfishly. 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. This was a devastating and emotional sequence for me. Sign-in or Try it free for 3 months. 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. 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. An example being Vanda and the way he gets to know her and in the end explores her painful past. This is also something Watson shouldnt go into. Watson used creative techniques through editing of previous footage of Vanda. I thoroughly enjoyed this weeks viewing, I felt that it was very informative and educational to those who dont have much knowledge about alcoholism. This however does not detract from the fact that I believe some of what Watson did, did push the boundaries on what is ethical and moral within a documentary. I felt as if Watson was genuine in the fact that he did care, he wanted to see the subjects overcome their problems, in a scene where he is at Vandas house, he stands with her and says although he cant stop Vanda from drinking, he doesnt want to see her do it. By going that extra further he creates a relationship with the subjects. And it tells us a lot; it is educational, eye opening and informative. He leads the interviewees go into their deep heart and gradually express their ideas. The Facebook link I posted was created by Nigels son. Nigel, 49, has been dry for ten years, but the damage he has inflicted on his liver is irreversible. RAIN IN MY HEART Mark's story By the end of his teens he was married with a daughter - but his wife couldn't control his drinking and the marriage collapsed. However, this scene does give greatest insight in to why Vanda is an alcoholic, and given the nature of the documentary, this is a critical point that must be conveyed to the viewer to give most depth to the understanding of alcoholism. 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. Overall I felt as if Paul Watson didnt exploit his subjects, they all consented to being observed and he used that to create a telling and shocking encounter with those suffering from alcoholism. SACRAMENTO, Calif. More rain and snow swept through Northern California on Monday, a day after a historic downpour set records and led to dangerous situations on roadways, street flooding,. Paul Watsons ethical procedures are certainly questionable. If there was any moment in the film where you could perceive Watson as exploiting them it would be when he interviews and observes them whilst or after theyve been drinking heavily, of course Watson cannot control what comes out of their mouth, he does have control over what to show to the audience, however showing these moments to the audience ensures that Watson has observed in full, the effects of alcohol and his points of its destructiveness comes across. Voyeurism this is not. I personally feel that Paul Watson did not exploit his subjects in the film. A prediction such as this can alter the way she behaves and this documentary is no longer just an observation of her progress. I also at times found it hard to watch due to the harsh reality of the subjects lives. Rain In My Heart by Edgar Lee Masters There is a quiet in my heart Like on who rests from days of pain. And the audience is living the pain through the subjects, and that is the best outcome to achieve, making the subjects exploitation almost worthwhile. 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. But Ive never felt like Watson exploited his subjects. This is also made clear later in the film when he spends some time filming at one of the female patients, Vandas house. 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. Rain In My Heart raises many ethical issues as a documentary yet highlights many health and social issues current in our society. In comparison to other hard-hitting and eye opening documentaries and coverage of alcohol/substance addictions, I think that Rain In My Heart is hardly exploitative at all. Print this design in the 3.5 x 5" size. Watching Rain in my Heart was a particularly harrowing and educational experience for me as a viewer. He is a quite good interviewer, especially in the interaction between him and the characters. This attempt to confront the ethical problem of documentary-making did not satisfy me as I couldnt help but feel that Watsons display of concern was more addressing the potential accusations of the audience rather than the problem itself. High-quality Rain In My Heart Wall Art designed and sold by artists. This stuck with me throughout Rain In My Heart, a film which I found pretty difficult to watch. I think that the mutual awareness of the situation between subject and filmmaker, despite the subjects inebriation, helps to prove that it is not exploitative. I didnt expect Rain in my Hearts to emotionally affect me as much as it did, though we were warned. 22/11/06 - 10:57 #8. The intrusion before we learn of sexual abuse is fitting because it prepares us for the horrible, rather than let the scene with Vanda play out suddenly for shock value. I was completely satisfied with his attempts to deal with accusations of taking advantage of their vulnerabilities throughout the film. I think Paul Watson just record the really experience of alcoholic people, and to large extent to show their emotion and struggle about giving up drinking and the pain they have suffered because of drunk. She then replies with a smirk, Obviously. The attempts to deal with these accusations are unsatisfactory as the unethical conduct exhibited in this film were necessary for the desired effect. When watching the film, there various moments where I felt Paul Watson over stepped the mark, and exploited his subjects. After watching this documentary i get shock of the people shown. This shows how relationships are built up when filmmaking and how subjects and even the interviewer forms attachments.

However i think he knew he was being somewhat intrusive. 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. However, from what I saw in the film, Watson does take advantages on his subjects. No one feels comfortable at the hospital anyway without a camera crew to be there watching your pain and destruction (essentially). A prime example of exploitation was the most vulnerable and interesting subject-Vanda. Thus, having the camera in front of them made me feel that there was a sense of pressure on them to fulfil a certain image of an alcoholic.

I can see why he added this into the film but I think it did effect the overall tone and flow of the documentary. He also gained the trust of his subjects to the extent that Vanda confined in him regarding her abuse as a child, and Nigels wife wanting Watson to be there when she said goodbye to him. I also think that it is not Pauls fault that these people after having a huge amount of alcohol could not control themselves: their speech, actions and emotions. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rain-In-My-Heart-Documentary-In-Memory-Of-My-Dad-Toni-And-Vanda/233416877232. To illustrate, each of the documentary objects have had their own monsters in their heads, to my mind, they are in a sense weak or have a big weakness- alcohol, therefore Pauls use of characters (Vandas) confession about her monsters or at the same time the reasons why she might be came to drinking helps not only the filmmaker but us in getting closer to this unfamiliar woman and her story. Rain in my Heart was an incredibly touching yet dark documentary about the wide spread issue that is alcoholism, and at points I was touched by the way in which Watson presented his subjects and their problems.

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. 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.
