Higher rating than normally given because of being surprised by the film not being bad and it didn't do that well on the box office. Unfortunate since it is a unique and new IP and was better than competing films like the video game adventure film Uncharted
Awful. Makes me think of the status quo now where top (or you know 95%+ of them) congress people can feign interest in social justice like when some of them wore African clothing and did poses...while those same people continued making millions upon millions without a care for the normal every day citizen.
This film is set in a dystopia that most characters don't appear to even recognize as being as dystopian as it is. Don't worry, there's a cute "progressive" story wedged in.
I liked the film but there are times where things are bit disjointed. Kind of a parallel spin on some of the concepts seen in the Matrix, but without the heft and the fullness of that story.
Great documentary! However, after watching the Hulu version, this version seamed disjointed with it's back 'n forth style of storytelling. The Hulu version is more a linear timeline, digging into who Billy was before the festival and some of his other failed companies before telling the viewer about the Fyre Festival. The Hulu version also has interviews with Billy himself as well as his girlfriend which are even more revealing.
Also, it's good to know that the Netflix version was produced in coordination with the social media company which put on the Fyre Festival - F**K Jerry Media. I found it interesting how the Netflix version mostly glossed over their involvement while the Hulu version had an interview with the actual designer of all the social media elements from FJM. He gave a lot more insight into their involvement, which is very interesting.
All in all, I'd recommend watching the Hulu version first, and then watching this version.
