Hi this evening I watched the above film 'being ginger', I arrived back from work and found myself scanning through Netflix having watched most of the decent films it has to offer when I came across this intriguing summery. I found the film and the life of the main character really interesting and his journey to find someone and find out more about himself entertaining. The film has many comical and uplifting scenes. If your into documentaries and are up for a laugh then I'm sure you will enjoy this one :)

This guy has himself convinced that women won't date him because he's a redhead. I watched the whole film hoping he would redeem himself before I formed an opinion. His personality is so god awful, and he's so unhappy with himself that I found this hard to finish. If he was self assured, or charismatic in ANY way, he'd have no problem finding a girlfriend. He's hiding behind his hair color instead of looking at his approach. Confidence goes a long way. He has none, and hair color has nothing to do with it. Production was OK I suppose, other than he filmed an entire "date" without the girl in the frame. It's basically a guy whining that women hate ginger men, yet he never actually acts like a man. He's actually very good looking too, which makes this even worse. What really made me lose my mind was when he said he'd never date a ginger woman. Coming from a guy who claims he can't get a date to save his life. Go cry on your orange stained pillow.

This movie really opened my eyes. I have never witnessed ginger-ism personally, but as an adult have heard of it. I figured it was playful, not serious, maybe a little harsh but overall not meant to be taken seriously. Clearly I was mistaken. I was actually quite angry while watching this film, in parts. Any movie that can get such a strong emotional response, I consider to have done its job well. Incidentally, I am married to "a ginger" and my daughter's boyfriend is "a ginger." I think these two gentlemen are completely adorable and find them quite attractive. And before now I have never used the term "ginger" in this context. So overall, this movie revealed to me something I did not know about the world I live in ... that you can still single out people with a certain physical characteristic, treat them in a way that might crush self-confidence and even create self-loathing, and you're going to get away with it! How awful. I am grateful that this movie helped me see this in a more serious light so I can be sensitive about it and not unwittingly let this vicious behavior go by without an appropriate response from me.

This is by far one of the best documentaries I have ever seen in my entire life! I laughed, I cried & just thoroughly enjoyed the film from start to finish. Being a ginger myself, the subject of the movie hit very close to home. However, my husband, a non-ginger loved it as well, stating the subject of the film resonates to anyone who has ever felt weird for being different, or bullied for no reason at all. We couldn't stop talking about how good it was for days. Not only is the main character, Scott, a joy to watch, but his costars are equally hilarious and fun to watch. Love, love, love this movie!! Go see it, seriously, you will not be disappointed. Can't wait for Part 2: An American Ginger in Paris!
