Not a documentary, FYI

I was pretty skeptical about halfway through, because the narrative seemed too perfect and the interviews felt too scripted. This movie is technically a "mockumentary," although since the filmmakers don't present it as such, it's basically one big advertisement/self-adulation project.

I've been familiar with the Blackout thing for years, so I know that's a real thing. Apparently the main guys involved in its creation wanted to create a movie about the project, and they bill it as a true documentary to the press. (There are reviews out there swearing it's real because the creators told them it was, which is terrible.) Because it's NOT real... It's BASED off of things we're supposed to take their word happened in real life, and it's inspired by similar things they say have happened.

If you watch the credits, at the very end there's a big disclaimer saying that it's based on real narratives, or a composite of similar things. It's like a paragraph long. I think it was really dumb of them to make the movie this way, because like I said, it just becomes self-aggrandizing, especially when these interviews with the creators were at least somewhat scripted in advance.

And the rest of the movie is pretty much a composite reenactment. Who knows, maybe some things were genuine, like the get-together. It just doesn't matter, because the nature of the movie totally negates whatever message they were trying to convey in the first place.
