Is there any point in blogging? What do bloggers’ loved ones feel? What causes people to continually pour out themselves over the Internet? How much truth about yourself are you willing to reveal? What are you ready to do to get famous? And would you finally get from it?
Three excellent films about different bloggers: the real story of a popular author, the dramatic ascent of a typical kitchen video blog, and a hard hype on a global tragedy.
“Julie & Julia” 2009, directed by Nora Ephron
There are two stories at once with a difference of fifty years in the movie. An American woman (Meryl Streep) in Paris decides to have fun learning local cooking and enrolls in professional courses. Gradually comes the idea to write a book about the secrets of French cuisine for American women who don’t have a cook.
Half a century later, a young woman who dreams of becoming a writer is working as a phone operator, increasingly coming to the idea that by her thirtieth birthday she has achieved nothing. The idea of blogging, trying all the recipes from the famous cookbook, at first seems crazy, but gradually becomes the meaning of her life.
If you don’t feel like cooking after the movie, there’s definitely something wrong with you. I can hardly resist the idea of making a chocolate cake in the middle of the night.
Starring: Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Stanley Tucci, and Chris Messina. Film is based on a true story.
“A Simple Favor” 2018, directed by Paul Feig
Another of the millions of boring and useless video blogs from the series “and now I’ll show you how great you can make a pie”. That’s just the friendship with a mysterious lady draws a novice blogger with zero popularity into a story with a disappearance and a series of murders.
It is amazing how exclusive access to the latest information for the criminal chronicle affects popularity. Cute reports about finding a best friend now interests everyone, but at the same time you can also listen to about pies, since this is the case.
Public showdowns involving firearms, husbands, children, and the police are a win-win way to gain fame. Not the fact that for a long time, but you can definitely climb on fried, the audience loves it.
Starring: Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells.
“Contagion” 2011, directed by Steven Soderbergh
A very convincing film about an epidemic that has taken over the whole world, predicting the best of the worst scenarios with amazing accuracy. Very curious line blogger (Jude law), out of the blue came up with the idea that there is a cure, but “everyone lies to you.”
There are constant releases of news from the fields, and detailed coverage of their “medical history”, and obsessive propaganda of false ideas, sucked out of the finger, if only there was a “shocking disclosure” of the conspiracy of the authorities.
Starring: Marion Cotillard, Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Bryan Cranston, Jennifer Ehle, and Sanaa Lathan.
