Catfish.
I don't know how "true" the story actually is, but the beginning of the trailer looks like it shows a realistic relationship between two people who met on the internet - this made me think of the love story Mike Wesch described in his YouTube speech. From what I can tell the movie may also address issues of identity on the internet.

ReplyDeleteKevin, the article you posted definitely gives a lot more insight into the film. (Thanks) It seems to me that the story is true, but if not then it still brings up real issues of cyber-relationships. In the article it is described as " "cautionary tale" about how easy it is to construct false realities in a techno-communicative culture." I am really curious as to what the huge mystery is that unfolds. What changes it from a love story to a "reality thriller"?
