Jul 12, 2014 Things rarely go as planned. The ideals of youth often bare no fruit. See more Apr 18, 2014 Following Sean is a good little documentary about Ralph Arlyck going back and meeting Sean Farrell 30 years after he interviewed him when he was just a kid. Sean was born into a family that decided to move to Haight St. in San Francisco. Sean's father Johnny was a hippy who wasn't going to work for the man and he continues to be the same person to this day. The interest factor in Following Sean comes into play when you see the man Sean grew up to be. After the first interview, Sean's parents got a lot of flack and even their parents thought that their kids, including Sean, would be criminals or drug addicts. That however isn't the case and it's really interesting just how different Sean is from his father. See more Feb 20, 2014 Not a huge exciting point to the movie, but definitely interesting at times. See more Jan 25, 2014 Good film about growing up smoking weed at 4 yrs. old, and the fact that you turn out ok anyway. What happened to Sean? What happened to you? This movie is about how children of the 60's ended up, along with the filmmaker. See more Jul 1, 2013 the movie bored me, lots of kids had lives like Sean did in San Francisco in the 60's, it just didn't interest me all that much. Only thing i liked about it was the historical hippie footage. See more Feb 12, 2013 Arlyck was able to weave a thread of personal transparency (showing his own son's annoyance with his endless requests for sound bites) into an American historical context. Born in '68 myself I can relate to the experience of growing up with parents who rejected their parents' emphasis on conformity by leaning towards the opposite philosophy of "no rules". I loved seeing how Sean grew up to be his own person, despite his Father's influence. This is a story of parenting ideals and how they effect future generations. See more Read all reviews
