I just watched Apollo 10 1/2, a Jack Black narrated story of how it was like living as a child, in Houston when the moon mission was in full swing.
I found it intriguing and set me thinking: most movies exaggerate/glamorise things around their stories. Maybe they have to, to make the movies interesting.
But what are some movies that, kind of, provide a, kind of, window peep into a place/time. An âauthenticâ representation of it, as close to how you saw/experienced it? Maybe you could expand it to include the travel documentaries/vlogs too because I find that most of them choose only the highlights of a place and look away from the mundane.
Cheers!
I forgot about people in the 90s selling out! That was so prominent at the time among artists.
Yea, and now thereâs the swingback glorification of selling out.
Financial success in and of itself shouldnât be shameful or exalted, I wonder if thereâs a movie showcasing that exaltation of personal commercial success the way reality bites showcased the shame.
I canât think of one that nailed it the same way.
