By doing this, he starts with the truth, but ends by motivating the audience of how it isn’t the end.

My transferable skills included “coached”, “listened”, “helped”, and even “evaluated”. It would seem as though I should be in a profession where listening, helping and evaluating are all integrated into a day’s work.

In Stories We Tell, the ways in which the narrative’s subjects interact with the mode of construction (i.e. the crew, Polley as a director, equipment, and so on) are diverse, and scholarship on the film has already noted this. Anderst, for example, points out two primary mediums of interaction, one being narration, such as in the case of Michael Polley’s voice over at the beginning of the film, and the other being interviews, conducted with Polley’s siblings, Michael, her biological father Harry Gulkin and so on. Waites, meanwhile, discusses these forms of interaction as “fictional devices,” or tools of storytelling, and includes in this category the “faux home video footage” interspersed throughout the movie, as well as the appearance of Polley herself (544).
