Le Mème Américain

This is nothing more than an irritating look at the lives of the most spiritually empty profiteers of the social media moment. Just watching this made my IQ drop a few points. Paris Hilton has fans? For doing what? Slipping into some beta sex kitten disassociative personality at will? Come on, people. Wake up and "like" the real heroes in the world.

"The American Meme" explores social media fame under different lights, through various celebrities who have relied on these outlets to gain recognition. The documentary examines the lives of Vine comedians, party animals, models, TV personalities and everything in between, with Paris Hilton as the standout focal point, due to the fact that she embodies American celebrity culture in its purest form and pretty much paved the way for all those who jumped on the fame wagon in more recent times. Many opportunities were missed in the way, where vapid and irrelevant screen time takes away from the more substantial storytelling, who are these people? What drives them?, and is the cost of fame really worth paying?. "The American Meme" has its shining moments, but you will have to navigate through the dull ones in order to appreciate the more meaningful moments.

I was very surprised about how I felt after the film ended. I can't stop thinking about the film and I am still thinking about it now, which is why I am writing a review. It comes off as being fun and entertaining to start, but then you realize that there is a ton at stake for the characters and the themes and stories are much more significant than you realize. I feel like I needed to reexamine my own relationship with social media....

I loved it. It was interesting to see into these specific people's lives

I do not like the concept of this movie, do not like when people trying to pretend "look how hard I work". Obviously they are really enjoying their life style and the entertainment industry, what they are doing - just leaving in their reality, they are an attention seeking people.
