I got Netflix two days ago and decided to try it out with a film that wasn’t that long. While I was on the documentary section I came upon this documentary, Between Two Folds, about origami. The thing I love about documentaries in general is that they are interesting no matter what, especially when they deal with a subject matter that isn’t that fascinating. Between Two Folds focused on the variety styles of origami making. Some do it with mathematics, others without any calculations, and others just go crazy with it.

I didn’t know that origami was such a respected and fascinating art form. Yes, origami is very much an art form whether you agree with it or not. The level of intricacy and details these artists place in making extraordinary origami figures is unbelivable. These are people who are beyond a simple swan, instead they make extravagant set pieces with trees and people in it, a variety of life-size animals, and so forth. There are limitless figures that you can create by folding a single piece of paper. At moments I was just in awe of all the things they could do. It never orcurred to me that those were things even possible.

But in like every art form, the new generations is overtaking and advancing it at an extremely high rate. Teenagers are achieving things that would take years to accomplish. As a result the old generation, the one that started all, is questioning the new generation’s methods arguing that they’ve taken the sentimentality out of origami making. The old artists say that without sentimentality art is meaningless. I think that speaks a lot of our generation today, because sometimes we are so focused in trying to be better than others that we forget the real purpose of why we’re doing certain things. Sometimes we pay so much attention to the technical aspects of any form of art, that we forget to put our hearts into it.

I highly recommend that you watch this documentary. If you have Netflix then it should be no problem. Between Two Folds is an extremely fascinating documentary about an art form that isn’t taken seriously by the general populations. The film is only 54 minutes, very interesting.
