Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): In search of . . . . Eleven years old when his father, architect Louis Kahn, died in 1974, filmmaker Nathaniel Kahn sets out in search of the man he hardly knew by visiting the sites of his architectural creations, from the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, to the capitol building of Bangladesh. Along the way, through interviews, old footage and photographs, much is revealed about this elusive, enigmatic, and often difficult man - including a closely guarded private life with children by three different women, while remaining married to only one of them.    A personal film documenting the life and career of a public man, "My Architect" is wonderfully engaging, leaving the viewer with a complexity of emotions as we listen to the comments of those who admired him, those who loved him, and those who did neither. Especially revealing are the interviews with the two women, colleagues in his firm, who became romantically involved with him and years later still treasure the memory of him. An architect in Bangladesh sums up the final image of a man whose work was inspired by a kind of mystical genius and who gave his love to mankind.    Moods mix and shift gracefully in the film from the discomfort of seeming to disagree with his mother's reverent estimation of the man to the sweeping effects of time-lapse photography and a whimsical scene of rollerblading around the great courtyard of the Salk Institute. Included in the DVD is an interesting and informative question and answer period between the filmmaker and a small theater audience, with additional scenes not used in the film.
Output (English): POS
