The documentary “Interpreting Erik” allows us to see the reality of our global society. As a playwright and director, Donald D’Haene specializes in showcasing and presenting this kind of subject. A true story of director Donald D’Haene and Eric Joy, who struggles with his body and feels as though it is from a foreign country, is depicted by director Donald. A story about a man who struggles and doesn’t know what languages are used to communicate.
It’s pleasant to hear the beautiful song and excellent lyrics that open this documentary. In order to portray this documentary feature in reality, director Donald conducted research and examined the case of Eric. In a lighthearted manner, Marina and Donald’s phone conversation essentially shows us how to adjust and refine the project by describing the dress color. The marriage sequence feels loving, but it’s depressing when she says he can’t look at the kids. The narrative of the painting is a very powerful idea for a documentary feature. Eric’s artwork had a lot of meaning and was very powerful. “Raise your voice and tell your story in your own style,” says director Donald D’Haene. We are genuinely astounded by the pitiful and agonizing tale of director Donald D’Haene when we read Martin Slofstra’s journal. It’s not a story; it’s a way to speak up and express your disapproval if your family has done something wrong. As he narrated his story, director Donal D’Haene raised his voice and the words “I’m alone in this city.” We may all be alone in this world…

Technical Aspects: This project’s heartfelt lyrics were really good. It might be necessary to polish the camera work and color correction as well. All things considered, “Interpreting Erik” was a good project that sends a global message: raise your voice if something is wrong with you.
