But I ended up loving it. It makes you think as it entertains.
The final dialogue by the game creator to the room of video game developers was perfect.
The truth:
Hell is being alive, and being alive is all there is.
I saw it in October at the Tallgrass Film Fest. I thought is was really well done, and made it's point. It makes me crazy when I hear people slamming this film without ever seeing it.
Sorry about my spelling, it is not my strong suit. =)
Thanks for checking out the film! It is on Amazon now: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Z0Q71W
shareI saw it on Netflix instant, and it's now one of my favorite documentaries.
College Road Trip -4/10
Transformers 3 - 6/10
I actually watched it on Netflix: Instant Queue as well.
It was a good documentary. It wasn't made very well, but I'm only assuming that Mr. Ledonne only made this documentary to set things straight and not to start a career as a documentarian.
Regardless, I was one of the people who hated the game from the very beginning, then as years went by, I began to appreciate it. I tried playing the game, and it was very difficult to even start (I couldn't read the game print/dialogue).
However, I liked the documentary. It was a good movie that tried to tell the other side of the story that many don't like to mention.
In the very end, I really wanted to make a concerted effort to try and play the game again. It is a very difficult subject to try to get through, but you know what else is difficult to get through?
Watching Documentary footage of people being gunned down.
Watching Salo: 120 Days of Sodom
Watching Lars Von Trier's Antichrist or anything else in his Oeuvre.
Am I comparing Danny Ledonne to Any of these important things? No, I'm comparing his work to the various projects. Those movies are difficult for a reason: because they have something to say. Danny Ledonne had something to say about the Columbine shootings that nobody else wanted to say. That's why I liked the documentary.

Nicely put. When I first heard of the game I was offended myself, but when I actually played it I could see it wasn't trying to make light of the situation or anything.

I too, very much enjoy playing this game. Very entertaining. Great creation and carries the honor of two bullied boys in a morbid way but regardless, the game is very well made and very enjoyable to play.
