Ai Wei Wei (sung to the tune of ay bay bay)

No pictures are mine. Found through Google.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I haven't been putting little synopses before these because I figure you can just imdb/wikipedia the plot. Also, these may be better to read after you've watched the film. Is that stupid? I NEED HELP.

Ai Wei Wei makes me wanna give the finger to everyone and hug them all at the same time. What a cool dude. Besides the cheating, but we'll get to that later. I don't think I'm exactly smart enough for this movie but what I took away from it was that Ai Wei Wei sticks to his convictions and fights for what he believes in. It's great that he had some sort of window to speak out but it was ultimately taken away from him. I now follow the English translation of his twitter because his activism is important and he's super sassy. I like that this documentary displays him as imperfect but still revered. He has a child with "a friend" while he has a wife. But, just like the A+ title of this film, he is Never Sorry.
3/5 stars
