Pornocratie: Les nouvelles multinationales du sexe (2017)
Anti-capitalist and semi-feminist biased opinion
As much as I hate pornography for ethical and moral reasons, this is a bad documentary. Also, too many long and unnecessary cuts from adult videos. The opinion of the director is heavily imposed on the viewer.
We should pursue this conglomerate for tax evasion and violation of law, but not for the fact they're destroying adult films. I don't care what salary gets the producer or those who participate in the act (by the way this documentary was solely focused on the salary of the women without mentioning the salary of men like they're not suffering too). It's just the way the market works. It's not easy out there. If you're a marxist feminist you should state that the very first minute of your documentary.
The very last bit was especially ridiculous. The evil platform-creators charge 70% of the income. Girls get even half of that if they work in the studio. Well...Those girls can create their own studio if they want to earn more. They can also create their own platform or encourage other people to do so to balance the market. I can't sympathize with a person who says working as a waitress is hard so I'm doing this cam thing.
Apparently, the sort of person who can sympathize with them is an ex-porn pro-feminist actress. But you're sympathizing with them for the wrong reasons. It's called bad judgment. You shouldn't destroy your personal live and damage your psyche for any money, even more so for little money. Take it from someone who lives in a country poorer than Romania. I'd better die than show my most private parts to other people for money.
Living is hard, it's true. Don't make your dying easier, it doesn't help.
Hang Ups (2018)
Possibly the worst TV show I've ever seen
I'm sort of a cinema buff, so to put a title like that means a lot to me. More than that I registered on IBDb just to leave this review and give rating to this piece of garbage (I used this website for a decade but never had to go to such extremes)
The problem for me is not in how well-made the show is, but its content. It's the most annoying and detestable piece of art I've ever seen and mind you, I'm fan of mockumentaries and especially The Office (both US and UK versions). The never-ending ugly ramblings and faces are killing me. The topics they choose to cover and jokes are not interesting, funny or entertaining. The main character is one of the most unpleasant creatures I've seen on earth. It's such a shame they wasted so much money and talent on this dirt.
To those who may find my review biased, believe me, it's not. I have a huge interest in psychology, I'm used to all sorts of discussions. It's just that the content is extremely unoriginal and ugly. They wanted to make every second of this show as noisy and despicable as possible and succeeded.
Also it's like they tried to copy USA's TV-style. With all its glossiness, speed and cartoonish characters. It makes it all even worse.
There are not so many things in art that make you lose your faith in humanity. This one does it perfectly.
