i watched this movie on my own this week because i couldn't make it to class the day we were screening it, and i must say im a little surprised by what i saw, maybe because it's a little different then the films we usually watch, or maybe just because of the content in the film itself. i went into it keeping american movie in my mind, which i think is one of the funniest documentaries i have ever seen... anyway, i am utterly amazed at the con mike bonanno and andy bichlbaum create and keep going throughout the film. There are a few things that make the content so shocking.. one being how easy it is for them to be able to fool all these people...another being how stupid the film makes general people seem.. and how people passively accept speeches these dudes give out.
technically and artisitically i wasn't THAT impressed,,but the pranking keeps me entertained enough. impersonating wto team leaders has got to be an exhilarating joke. im still in awe it worked and that these bros were actually invited to speak at different places... and even exposing certain male appendages to audiences while representing men of power. which was hilarious, and that scene itself is worth seeing the movie.. other than that scene, what i also liked the most was that the college students are the ones that get it... first they get the bullshit that these pranksters are saying is BULLSHIT and respond confidently... pissed,confused, or just comically.. and then they get it that it's bullshit as in its all a joke.
its funny that the only ones to actually understand the HUGE prank that swarmed leaders around the world are our upcoming YOUTH. college kids.. fuck yeah.
the film was good though.. i wish i could have watched it in class with everyone else, but got the opportunity to watch it with my roommate and some friends.. so ultimately got to spread the film because it seems underrated, i hadn't heard of it before this class, whereas american movie was pretty popular.
