Feels Good Man Reviews
a fantastic documentary for pepe the frog.
Now I know that a cartoon frog has more political power than I'll ever have.
A very tough film to locate, but well worth it, 'Feels Good Man' details the origin of the internet meme Pepe the Frog mostly through the eyes of its creator, Matt Furie. Arthur Jones has put together a very detailed debut documentary covered just about every aspect of Pepe and Matt and the shifts in both. The quest is to turn Pepe back into the character he was intended to be and not a symbol of hate. Speaking of hate the Anti-Defamation League doesn't come across as tolerant, accepting, or willing to change. The more you know! If you have a library card check this out on Kanopy. Final Score: 8/10
Documentário sobre a história de um meme que era pra ser um símbolo divertido e acabou virando um símbolo da extrema direita.
I just finished a screening of this film by one of my favorite YouTube channels. Matt and the director were there after for a interview. This really is a fantastic movie. Way better than I imagined. If anyone wants to understand meme culture in the future this movie should be the first thing people view. Easily a 5 star documentary. It was oddly emotional too. More emotional than you would imagine a documentary about a internet meme would be. It really does have you cheering for the original creator. Pepe is now a world wide symbol meaning almost anything you could imagine. A symbol for everyone from white nationalists, anti-fascists, free loving individuals, to Hong Kong pro democracy protestors. Amazing documentary. This was also self released so please buy it if you can. Good stuff.
Basically a story about the internet from people that do not know the internet.
Such an important and fascinating story. Must-see!
should have been titled, 'feels good man: the timeless tale of human idiocy' could have had more original music
Not worth the money or the time it took to watch this. A story worth telling but it's worth telling well.
It is incredible how our society can misunderstand or misinterpret a thing as simple as a meme like Pepe the Frog and turn it to something absolutely different from what its author or creator wanted it to be. Added to that, the animation that we get to see in this film is outstanding.
