Deeper Thoughts

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2016)

Many viewers believe that this movie is rather stupid; however, I believe it is quite the opposite. On an intellectual level the movie takes many celebrity stereotypes and impresses them on one person. Using humor the movie sheds a light on how trivial this idea of a popstar really is. With the character of Conner we see hints of stars like Justin Bieber (a kid that grew up in the business and having issues with handling adult situations) and Justin Timberlake (a once boy band front man turned huge solo act). The movie also messes with the idea of the over popularized love for boy bands and comebacks. Much like the Backstreet Boys, the Style Boyz had been a band for years. People in the movie grew up listening to them and worshiping them so when they broke up it was heartbreaking in return when they got back together it was an long awaited and emotional experience for the world inside the movie. At the same time with songs like "Finest Girl" and "Equal Rights" the movie not only shows how much freedom we give to famous people solely based on their celebrity status but also how much we as a society care about current and past events. For some this movie may just seem like a big joke and never give it a second thought but beneath the surface this movie is more than a mockumentary.
