This is the film that encapsulates the culture of young people obsessed with the Internet. How being stuck to the Internet made Rob so anti-social and emotionally caged. Wanting to watch clips of real accidents or violence through cell-phone videos on video-sharing websites.
By the end of the film, it has a clear message to make about how deep video obsession can go. By comparison, SOCIAL NETWORK had nothing important to say about our current Internet culture.
Exactly. Except, unfortunately, those so affected by the internet (and other digital/mobile media) will likely either not have the abilities of attention and comprehension necessary to get this point, or will sense it but fiercely try to deny it in defence of the things they've been made to love.
sharemost of the threads on this board are a shameful proof of what you are saying. people are ants. ANTS!
shareJust because you like a terrible movie doesn't make you IN ANY WAY superior to others. You are not smarter than anyone. You don't have a better attention span. Nothing. You simply like awful movies.
shareI don't see why it has to be one or the other. Both movies had their strengths, and they're both incredibly different. In fact, the only thing they really have in common is they both feature the protagonists using the internet.
