When we first started watching the movie, we found out Vik was an artist who used garbage and other odds and ends to make his art. When I first heard that he was going to a landfill, I thought he would just kind of wander around collecting to garbage to use for his art. I didn't know he would be interacting and trying to understand the "pickers".
When they first got to the landfill, the "pickers" seemed distant and so was the crew, which is to be expected with both groups of people experiecning something new. As time went on, Vik and the crew really got the pickers to open up, and they were able to interact with them in a way that they hadn't been able to from the start. The message about "getting to know people who you normally wouldn't" really shines through out the movie. Vik and the crew really work to interact, communicate, and be friendly to the "pickers".
This argument can be universal. Getting to know people you normally wouldn't can be done any time, any place. It doesn't just have to be on a landfill in Rio de Janeiro. Meeting, communicating, and interecting with people you normally wouldn't can open your eyes, and maybe even change your life and the lifes of others, like the crew of wasteland and the "pickers".
yea, Vik and the director do get the message across about opening up to others and what you can gain from it.
