The Parking Lot Movie (1:24)
Yes, there is a documentary about a parking lot, an independent lot in Charlottesville, Va. The parking lot is near the University Of Virginia and many of the parking lot attendants are well educated students. The men interviewed are undergraduate and graduate students studying anthropology, sociology, and philosophy. For most of these men, their jobs are temporary, although this can mean up to eleven years. The men interviewed discuss many topics. Topics include working nights, their reaction to people who don't want to pay, their works of art created on the premises and, of course, the meaning of life. This is a short, quirky movie with its entertaining moments. The attendants ask the consummate question "Why?", I ask "Why did I ever watch this movie?"
