Shiny_Flakes: Le petit baron du darknet

Or in my own house, by my own kids....? Have a look at this german production, its extremely subjectivly made, but still tells a good story about the minor dealing drugs via data machine. '' i bet my life'' there are even younger and an astronomical number of individuals out there dealing with the same stuff.

It's definitely and interesting subject, but Max comes off extremely arrogant and without even the tiniest amount of regret. He displays sociopathic tendencies and thus the ending didn't really surprise me. He clearly sees nothing wrong in his actions. I'm not really surprised, as he is probably the product of his upbringing. It says something about his parents when the investigators said Max's mom didn't enter his sons room for over a year. That is absolutely not normal.

I found it pretty entertaining and I couldn't resist chuckling because law enforcement was so annoyed about Max and at certain points even personally offended about his lack of remorse. Their demeanor and facial expressions were the best!

This is a documentary but the scenes where they use his real room where everything happened, realistic props and original chat application, old Wordpress was a nice touch. Sometimes I felt like he was actually doing it at the moment. Which breaks the documentary boredom a bit.

I like the fact how Maximillian talks, how he bitters in speech when the topic is authority or things make him get arrested. Also Interviewers were solid. They were looking for the answers.

Very well done documentary with good interpreters/voice actors. I found Max really likeable and not arrogant as the cops seemed to want to characterize him. Yes drugs are illegal and dangerous, dont do drugs. But as one person said, drug companies have been doing the same thing in tall buildings for years. This kid had talent and motivation and saw what others didnt.

I found the police to be somewhat arrogant, save maybe one, because of their almost refusal to acknowledge how smart he was and how bad luck played into his getting caught.

Now if after release he starts up again, welll that's a different discussion.
