Nathan Fielder has already established himself as an exceptionally smart and visionary industry savant, but this project has topped it all. I would say that I watch and study filmmaking as an industry for a significant portion of my day most days out of the year. But I also view this medium as an art form. As a scholar and (what I would consider myself) a non-biased reviewer, I think that I can safely say that this is hands down the most important, most impactful, most emotional, most provocative, most--and here's that word again-- visionary piece of art that the world has ever seen. On an objective artistic scale, the greats of every medium pale in comparison: every magnum opus, every masterpiece. Music has its Mozarts in classical form, its visionaries in contemporary times. People say that words never had it so good with Shakespeare. Obviously this is still a small portion of literature; but the point is moot. The same argument can be made with every medium of art, painting, sculpture, animation, drama, even video games, etc. The Web has a little of everything for everyone. Fielder, ever the auteur, compliments his film with staggering Kubrickian cinematography, Citizen Kane levels of technological and storytelling breakthroughs, and a story constructed from the sheer unadulterated willpower of every poet and dreamer this world has ever seen put together. After seeing this film, I believe we have reached the peak of human performance; we have Tower of Babel'd. There is no singular factor that can improve a person's life more, in the arts or anywhere else, for that matter-- than viewing the web at least once.
