We were looking forward to watching Digital Village as the plot sounded very interesting, but overall, it was in desperate need of authenticity at every level
DELICIOUS
-Super cool concept, a nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city environment, annnnd there was no heroine!
-The movie was realistic in showing the hardships of making and distributing a movie: we got a glimpse of the rejections, humiliation, and doubts that the friends endured
-The unity of the villagers was admirable in the way they supported the filmmakers😃
BLAND
-The movie's synopsis on IMDB says that the villagers were 'sticking firmly to their traditional belief system' when the friends were trying to spread digital literacy.
We didn't see any of that. The friends were not even trying to spread digital literacy but make a film. Besides, the people were not resistant to the digital system. They immediately bought into the idea
-Digital Village being a simple production needed to balance it out with a rich screenplay, outstanding acting, and powerful storytelling to excite the audience.
Very very unfortunately, this wasn't the case.
Plus, the lack of parallel story made the pace flat.
-Why was the web series named "Dark"? That title could have been used as a symbol for the story but it feels like it was just randomly picked.
