Fake Famous

There is something seriously wrong with our society lately...and this documentary highlights part of the reason why.

I like to think of the world as before the internet, and after the internet. Before the internet, society was much much better....people were "normal" ..friendly...neighborly....people did things outside with friends and family...met people in person...went out on dates....Now? People have their phones on for hours upon hours a day with no human interaction....people live in a make believe world....and most people are screwed up and on anti depressants or anxiety drugs., or a combo of both..

I feel sorry for the generation growing up today, and for all generations coming after....Growing up in the 80s and 90s was so great...I'm glad I got to experience normal life before the internet....because life today, is anything but normal for most people....So do yourself a favor, GET OFF YOUR RIGHT PHONE NOW AND EXPERIENCE REAL LIFE WITH REAL PEOPLE....There is SO much more to life than your phone...

Ever wonder if Instagram Reality isn't really, in fact, reality? If all of the houses and Rolls Royces and Bentleys are just rentals? Or that social media is infested with bots, fakes, purchased likes, and vapid people?

Well this documentary lets you know that it SURPRISE it's mostly probably fake!

The film is well shot but honestly a waste of an hour and a half. The "social experiment" is completely predictable and uninteresting. The "experts" presented aren't really such and just come across as buddies of the director.

It would have been far more interesting to include actual experts on a field such as human psychology and explore why this phenomenon occurs, or follow and expose purported stars, rather than building up one. Again. SURPRISE! You can spend a few bucks, get some bots, and very marginally advance your acting/modeling career.

Just not that interesting in the end.

I decided to play a drinking game where I would take a shot every time one of the talentless aspiring influencer-to-be people said the word 'like'. I had to be rushed to emergency after 11 minutes because I had alcohol poisoning.

Interesting documentary that let you see the fake world many of these sad people pretend to enjoy, but as sad as they are, I feel sorry for the millions of followers whose dreams are to become like them.

What a sad, sad world people who inhabit social media live in.

Dominique you should see more Merry Streep, your comment was wrong, you will benefit a lot if you do like her

It's amazing how hard people are working to not have to work a real job. This doc cuts right into the heart of it and shows social media for what it's always been, a farce. While it starts slow, it gets pretty interesting 30mins in and has some interesting twists and turns. Ironically, one of the influencers they used in their stock footage (not the three chosen) actually lives in my building. Never knew until we saw it.....hilarious.
