Featured reviews
This documentary Is somehow an Inception thing. There are a bunch of influencers complaining about the struggle to became famous on Instagram and Vine, and then the fear to Lost popolarity.
There Is Paris Hilton crying cause this Life Is hard... Come on, SRSLY?!
There Is a a guy that It has calling himself the fat jews that literally live to lick Paris Hilton butt, Just in the Hope to stay on the rich's train, eventually.
The documentary itself Is nothing special, automatic pilot and some Easy rethotical skit, in order to try ti make things emotional and Deep, but well, not even a nice try.
"The American Meme" explores social media fame under different lights, through various celebrities who have relied on these outlets to gain recognition. The documentary examines the lives of Vine comedians, party animals, models, TV personalities and everything in between, with Paris Hilton as the standout focal point, due to the fact that she embodies American celebrity culture in its purest form and pretty much paved the way for all those who jumped on the fame wagon in more recent times. Many opportunities were missed in the way, where vapid and irrelevant screen time takes away from the more substantial storytelling, who are these people? What drives them?, and is the cost of fame really worth paying?.
"The American Meme" has its shining moments, but you will have to navigate through the dull ones in order to appreciate the more meaningful moments.
So I went into this thinking that it was going to actually be about memes. You know those things that constantly circulate on social media that people use over and over again. Nope! This was about a handful of no-talent "stars" that have never had to work for anything in there life. All this documentary did was give these people a platform to discuss their narcissistic lives. Completely revolting and a waste of time.
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.
