It definitely gives you pause for thought. Social media has changed the world completely. This film has illustrated that because of social media, all of us have a sense of being connected and a need to belong.
Watching the main character's dissent into obsession and psychosis is chilling. He appears to be a loner, yet finds his validity and connection via the Internet- which is probably why he was recording most of what he does. In the real-world he is easily looked over. In the cyber-world, he feels he is somebody. Interesting how easy it is to gain validation online.
Anyway, that's the thought process this film provoked for me- I may be way off-base from what the filmmaker intended. I loved it none-the-less.
