If it’s a satire what is it satirizing? If Fielder is playing a character and is a subject of the film why is it billed as an actual documentary instead of a mockumentary?
The only explanation thing I can think of is that the character he's playing falls for Holmes' bullshit, while he didn't actually fall for it.
Use a search engine. Sorry you had to work for her.
Alright I searched for “Is you can see everything satire” and “what does you can see everything satirize” and came up with nothing. Any other suggestions?
It is satirizing documentaries themselves in how they are never truly objective, the documenter will always have biases and agendas so the documentary will never be objective. The character Nathan is playing is Nathan Fielder, the documentarian. The character is personifying what I previously said, his character is getting caught up in the bullshit of Holmes. It’s not billed as a mockumentary because it’s Nathan Fielder, his whole career is messing with people. I haven’t even seen it billed as any other genre than “Husband”. The movie is a comedy. There is plenty of information out there on it so maybe you just need to use a search engine better.
good lord
Like wise
That's ironic considering the director's past(not Nathan the other one).
Is it really that hard for you dumb asses to just look this stuff up? Jfc you guys are dumb
