The American Meme

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.

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

This film encapsulates the mindset of fame in the modern age by letting 4 figures speak on how they conceptualize it. A sickness spreading through all of us. Sad but this is the new normal.

I could not make it past 20 minutes of this documentary. I know, it's not good to review anything unless you've seen the entirety of it. But this is one of those rare exceptions.

First of all, I doubt there's anything really wrong with how the documentary is made. The problem I have with this was the soul crushing feeling I had watching these pure narcissists at work. It started with American Idol and people wanting to get-famous-quick without putting in any legwork, and has mutated itself into the social media landscape.

Quite a few years ago I started to remove myself from mainstream media. I started watching the Joe Rogan Podcast, and eventually went on to take in most of my information from what would later be described as the "Intellectual Dark Web". What I found was, the longer and further removed from mainstream media I was, the more ridiculous and outlandishly egotistical it was revealed to be. Everything was dripping with self-absorption and the need to sell-sell-sell, no matter the depravity of the message.

I'm not willing to make a thorough review for people so detestable, so if you can actually sit through 98 minutes of watching these kinds of people, I hope you see the light at the end of Dante's Fourth Circle of Hell. Remove yourself from this idiocy.

4/10- P.S. These people are not memes.

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.
