Downfalls High

Let's get something out of the way. This is barely a film. It's more like a one hour music video with a loose and cheesy storyline that ties all the videos together. That being said, I really enjoyed this project. The writing is cliche and sometimes overly dramatic and the acting can be a bit wooden but that's the point. It's like a filmed version of a medium budget stage production with an absolute killer soundtrack. All the songs in this are really good and bring back a nostalgic yet new feeling in their sound and lyrics. In the end, give this a watch. It's unique and unlike anything I've ever seen before.

I thought this was such a beautifully done short movie. The story it told was raw and relatable on so manu levels to so many of our generation. This is exactly what we needed.

This film was made in 4 days and it really shows. I don't really think I should be calling it a film because it's pretty much a long music video. To me it seems like a majority of the energy of making this was put into the set and costume design, I LOVE the pink colours, but everything else just falls flat on it's face. The plot for me is pretty predictable, the characters feel like they don't know each other, and I don't really like the dialogue, it's just kind of cheesy and wooden, and the acting doesn't really help. Also I think I would've enjoyed this more if I like mgk and I don't really. But I was forced to watch this from a friend and, fun fact we stopped being friends after watching this because I didn't say it was a masterpiece or something else ridiculous.

MGK took his most famous and popular songs and wrote a script and a story around those. Combining visual storytelling with amazing music creating a musical drama with a pretty good story.

The cinematography switches between high quality and old school cameras, bringing a certain quality, which helps with keeping up with the pace of the songs and adapts as the story changes and you go through every different emotion from ultimate highs to ultimate lows. Sydney Sweeney as Scarlett is absolutely stellar, while the rest of the acting from the other actors is just alright, but it gets the job done and ultimately with the music and production value, it sells the story and makes it work.

It's completely free, with no ads, on youtube! So it's easily accessible for everyone. A must watch for all fans of Machine Gun Kelly and his music!

7/10.

Is like many music videos with a few talking scenes. The story is ok. This is perfect if you want to watch a movie and listen music.
