Thoughts on the Borges documentary

I thought the documentary on Borges was a great way for us to really see Borges's entire story. We see where he came from, how he was raised, his home life, his interests at an early age, the development of his intellect, etc.. We see how important his relationships are in his life and the influence they had upon his writings. We are also able to see a clear picture of the progression of his life...the ups and the downs, the highs and the lows. It is crazy to think that even with the degenerative disease glaucoma which also plagued his father, Borges continued on and earned many achievements during his lifetime. In particular, his Garden of Forking Paths truly laid the foundation upon which the concept of the Internet was built.
