I love movies that inform

What is the true power of the internet, even in the hands of youth? An action a youth started years ago in Korea employing the Internet got 16 million people to respond and take to the streets. Based on true events and witness accounts, Troll Factory explores how the media and social media outlets manipulate and drive public opinion, even if it is fake news. The movie has smoking music and a great point of view. The acting dream team delivers big time. Viewing is worth your time manipulation. You can rent this movie on ViKi.

Quote: “There is no truth in the perfect lie, but if the truth is mixed with the lie, a lie is mixed with the truth, and if it is not a perfect lie, it is not all lies. Truth mixed with lies feels more real than the real truth”, Journalist.

If one is not familiar with Trolling Factories and public opinion manipulation using the Internet, or one does not know all the street terms, Trolls Factory may be a learning experience or one may get lost in the fray. For me, it was a learning experience and I totally loved this movie. While the movie is rated PG 13, the movie had more cursing then I would have expected.

What is real on the Internet

With the rise of AI, the Internet is becoming more and more an artificial space distant from reality, yet the Internet shapes our reality in a way we are not even aware of. This movie gives a lot to think about on this topic. The truth we live is not a real truth but a story created by media, trolls, big corporations, hidden powers, … you name it.

Okey, so about this movie. It starts like I would expect with the victim of the false narrative searching for justice and finding an ally in the media to help him. But then it all turns around and becomes a story of deceiving tactics where no one is spared, not even we as viewers. At the end I felt like the victim of internet fraud but thankfully without real-life consequence. I think I received a valuable lesson about truth online. This movie is a fiction but it has a real message. So what is the lesson: Truth is hard to find. Watch the movie for yourself and try to find it!
