We're All Going to the World's Fair
le sujet est hyper bien traité mais ça me touche pas vraiment, je peux pas réellement m'identifier au personnage et le film étant plutôt lent ça m'a pas aidé à rentrer dedans.
We're All Going to the World's Fair
i was getting to the point where i was almost wanting to pause every other minute to jot down notes on my app on what i was feeling about this but the one thing i keep coming back to is this is maybe the first time i've seen any media (film, TV, music, book, whatever) so accurately Get the feeling i had a) growing up with the Internet at my disposal as an escape from the loneliness my young queer heart felt in a less-than-kind home and b) realizing in real-time over time that 1) this was great and this was awful, and 2) that the lines between the two sides would blur at random for all the faults, for all of the inescapable and 24/7-broadcast atrocities and awareness that nothing's ever getting better, for all the bullying and harassment anonymous (and sometimes-not) campaigns, and for all the run-down jokes there are on this web. for all the bad. i still wouldn't have met some of the best people in my life, still wouldn't have had some of the longest friendships i've had, still wouldn't have been alive because of some of them, without it. the best thing in my life is likely also the worst thing in my life, and i wouldn't be alive without it even though it's unquestionably and actively making my quality of life worse; how does one find comfort easily in describing that, let alone coming to grips with it? this is an 85 minute look at two lonely people and their own explorations of that dilemma. go in with patience, but go in all the same. please
We're All Going to the World's Fair
experiência bem singular em seu efeito zeitgeist ao retratar a relação com o digital, com a internet, com mundos fechados, com o vazio e por fim, com a solidão. sobre pessoas encontrando - ou acreditando encontrar - no mundo virtual um refúgio da solidão aflitiva do mundo. estamos todos sozinhos atrás de telas que projetam algo que não existe. marble hornets meets under the silver lake.
We're All Going to the World's Fair
acho que nunca pensei bem nisso, mas tenho quase certeza que o medo na qual me assombra de modo profundo é terminar sozinho (não confundir com "estar sozinho"): a sensação de saber que, para além do seu núcleo interno, não existe mais nada; o medo em constatar que aquele vazio existencialista que circunda o seu quarto ou a sua casa reflete a sua situação; de não ter alguém com quem contar para desabafar, rir, chorar... estar completamente desolado e inserido em um mundo sem ter com quem compartilhar algo. quando casey aparece, pela primeira vez em cena, vemos a protagonista em sua cadeira, cercada pelo aprisionamento de seu quarto, sem quaisquer presença viva para além dela e se empenhando em estabelecer um contato com a única coisa que restou: o seu notebook. seu pai jamais aparece em cena, o espectador não tem nenhum indicativo de uma amizade da moça e seu passatempo é se perder dentro de um mundo constituído por um amontoado de imagens falsas, de sensações irreais e de sentimentos nulos. tanto que, para conseguir dormir, ela precisa ver um vídeo de asmr. no final, nada muda: casey e jlb continuam estagnados em um universo na qual encontram companhia naquilo que não existe e a última imagem que temos de casey em cena é nada mais do que uma mera projeção digital. só sei que não quero mesmo continuar a me sentir sozinho em frente ao meu computador.

Was trying to figure out why this was so bad and found out it's the same director as I Saw The TV Glow and was like ah that makes more sense 💀 (W for Alex G and the random scene of Casey doing a homemade mv. That part was so fun)

We’re All Going to the World’s Fair paints a haunting portrait of a modern teenager, attempting to fit in with society’s standards, while so desperately wanting some shred of attention. It’s a film for a modern, young viewer, which is why I think that there is a disconnect for many who end up watching it. It’s a film for Gen Z, for them to understand, discussing growing up within the digital age, which other generations cannot fully grasp, as much as they think they can. It’s a brilliantly put-together film, opening the door to conversations about online idenity, the impact that social media and the desire to be seen by peers has on a child coming of age, as well as the responsibility of older generations to ensure the protection of younger people while being online. I definitley saw a thread running through the film about discovery, whether it be literal, through an older man, or figuratively, through discovery of one’s true self, mirroring the internal struggle and eventual coming out that the director themself went through. I wish there was a little more with the film though, it had a fairly quick runtime, and I wish there would have been a little more time spent with these characters, since there is so much to say about all of the topics that came up. I can completely understand why this film has a disconnect with many who watch it, but as someone in the gray zone between the Millennials and the Gen Z, I understood exactly what was being put out, while still being able to see it from a different generation’s perspective.

Alright folks it's September, which means I get to start watching horror movies in preperation for October! Let the pre-game commence with "we're all going to the world's fair" I don't think it was awful but I feel like it was just too long. Every scene drags a bit too much for my liking and it's clear there was more focus on the "aesthetic" than the story being told. Don't get me wrong, I love the camcorder look and the score but everything else is pretty weak in comparison. I think the internet ARG inspiration is cool but it never truly goes anywhere. It's just a lot of scenes of nothing really happening at all and left me feeling bored through the entire film's runtime As you all can see, we're off to a good start...
We're All Going to the World's Fair

Anna Cobb is truly fantastic in this. Jane Schoenbrun proves to be a great new voice, their script and direction deceptively simple, while managing to be very unsettling. There’s a hypnotic nature to this film. I want to watch it again and see what else I may mine from it. Fantastic score. Can wait to see what’s next from both Anna and Jane. 2022 Ranked (https://boxd.it/fSyMM)
