The little shop depicted was one of those

The little shop depicted was one of those nerve centers where mostly quiet and important work went along rhythmically for over 70 years. From the essential role it filled from it's beginning to all the modern iterations of the machines within it's walls it never lost sight of purpose, or intensity of dedication to it's customer base. The family dinner table scene where they voice their responsibilities to the soon-to-be unemployed workers was heart rending in core ethos of the building's owners. A bona fide piece of Americana at it's best and a soulful tribute of regard for things receding from our collective image. Great people well-filmed being themselves.

There can be no other movie made with

There can be no other movie made with such a deep love of subject and respect for those who share and contribute to that love. A bittersweet examination of time: its passing and its endlessness, its endurance and its ephemeralness, its consistent elusiveness and its chimerical character; and the beautiful souls—quirky, quixotic and qwertyful—who inhabit it.

In the age of innovative technology with blurry

In the age of innovative technology with blurry relevancy out of necessity, the original hand-on industrial instrument that is not driven electrically becomes a neglected gem valued timelessly relevant. Though only bounded in one state and occasionally led astray for the point of other more artistical usage, this fascinating documentary types up an excellent portrait for the typewriter's old-fashioned nostalgia with insights' passion that position the device under rejuvenated interest.
