Fake Famous

I want to give my honest opinion on this movie. I gave it 10 stars because not only was it entertaining, but it was something most people would never think of. I love social experiment films, and this one really stands out. I was hoping to see better reviews. It's very informative, too. I learned many things I didn't know. The man who wrote and directed this film is incredible and I was so pleased. I recommend this film to those who are available to watch it...you won't regret it!

Ever wonder if Instagram Reality isn't really, in fact, reality? If all of the houses and Rolls Royces and Bentleys are just rentals? Or that social media is infested with bots, fakes, purchased likes, and vapid people?

Well this documentary lets you know that it SURPRISE it's mostly probably fake!

The film is well shot but honestly a waste of an hour and a half. The "social experiment" is completely predictable and uninteresting. The "experts" presented aren't really such and just come across as buddies of the director.

It would have been far more interesting to include actual experts on a field such as human psychology and explore why this phenomenon occurs, or follow and expose purported stars, rather than building up one. Again. SURPRISE! You can spend a few bucks, get some bots, and very marginally advance your acting/modeling career.

Just not that interesting in the end.

I decided to play a drinking game where I would take a shot every time one of the talentless aspiring influencer-to-be people said the word 'like'. I had to be rushed to emergency after 11 minutes because I had alcohol poisoning.

It's amazing how hard people are working to not have to work a real job. This doc cuts right into the heart of it and shows social media for what it's always been, a farce. While it starts slow, it gets pretty interesting 30mins in and has some interesting twists and turns. Ironically, one of the influencers they used in their stock footage (not the three chosen) actually lives in my building. Never knew until we saw it.....hilarious.

In Adam Curtis's documentary "The Century of Self" he tracked the rise of selfishness from the hippie movement to the Reagan revolution, but this generation of self obsessed narcissist have taken things to a new level.
