Review of The Man Whose Mind Exploded (2014) by Erik D — 16 Mar 2016

I did not mean to watch this documentary. I fully expected to only watch a few minutes of it as it sounded so bizarre, but after half an hour I was hooked. I was meeting the most interesting character there may have ever been. Drako is the happiest man alive, despite the fact that he cannot remember anything in the short term. He lives entirely in the moment and does everything in life his own way. It was really something special to witness.

Drako has had a very unique life. He led a life of adventure and excitement before vehicular accidents completely changed his life. He was no longer the Drako of old, but the man he was in his "7th life" was incredible. He loves everyone and everything, despite how that love can be detrimental to his health. There are of course things that you should treasure, but a refrigerator filled with dirt and filth should not be one of them. He liked the state that his home was in, despite how it was hurting him. It was very tough to watch Drako go through everything that he did. He was doing so much damage to himself but had no idea.

At this point, I feel I should expand on what all was tough to watch. This movie will disturb almost every single one of you. I guarantee most of you won't make it a minute into the trailer. There are thousands of pictures of genitalia hanging all throughout his house. With that sentence, I just lost most of you. This will not be an easy watch at all. You will feel uncomfortable no matter what frame of mind you go into this with. If you do give this film a try though, you will meet a character that will be impossible to forget. Drako is the kindest man in the world, and deserves this film that puts him in the spotlight. Wonderful film, and I can guarantee I won't ever forget it.
