Movies with social themes have long been flooded, and it is actually difficult to use the false face of the Internet as an entry point. The clever thing is that this film has a small focus. Learning "The Social Network" (The Social Network) only talks about Facebook and only focuses on Instagram. The story is more sophisticated.
The plot is simple and easy to understand, and the content is not greedy at all. Not only the low cost, but also thanks to LA (beautiful beauty), which is rich in internet celebrity photos, and the excellent (true colors?) performances of two beautiful actresses, and director Matt Spicer's personal evil Batman terrier. It also greatly adds to the level of funnyness, and it is a movie with a very enjoyable movie-watching experience.
The main point of deduction is at the end. Now in an era when YouTuber grassroots screenwriters are frequently appearing, no one can guess this kind of ending reversal. Unless it's like the independent film "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl) that was also born at the Sundance Film Festival
Deliberately used a monologue "spoiler" in the middle of the film to give the audience a false ending, so that the audience can watch with anticipation. At the end, they find that they were cheated by the monologue. Although the ending is clichéd, they play a trick that is not objectionable.
