Catfish - the other movie about Facebook (SPOILERS DO NOT READ THREAD BEFORE SEEING)
WARNING: SPOILERS IN THIS THREAD IF YOU PLAN ON SEEING THIS MOVIE CLICK AWAY AT THIS POINT
So I went to this the other night, it was quite an interesting little film.
Short synopsis without spoilers (I am spoilering it because if you are going to go see this movie the less you know about the plot the better):
Filmmakers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost document a story involving Ariel's brother, Nev, a 24-year-old New York-based photographer, and Abby, an 8-year-old girl from rural Michigan who contacts Nev via Facebook, asking for permission to make a painting from one of his photographs. Nev interacts with Abby's family and soon begins a relationship with Abby's older sister Megan, but then he finds out Megan has a secret...
This is a documentary involving real people and online relationships formed between them, basically. I thought it was very well done and really enjoyed the themes it brought forward and how well we got to know the people in the film. It sort of combines cautionary tale with suspense/thriller and love story.
So did anyone see it? What did you think?
