I dont get it, why not just make this into an actual movie instead of a lost and found/archive footage/interview “documentary”? Obviously everything is made up, every interviewee is an actor pretending to be interviewed with "archive footages" to add more authenticity , yeah yeah I get it.
Shame, it has enough twists and turns and that would make it different that your average hollywood movie.
"every interviewee is an actor pretending to be interviewed" huh???
You mean these people on the imdb credits-list:
Carey Gibson ... Herself
Bryan Gibson ... Himself
Beverly Dollarhide ... Herself
Frédéric Bourdin ... Himself
Nancy Fisher ... Herself
Phillip French ... Himself
Codey Gibson ... Himself
Charlie Parker ... Himself
Bruce Perry ... Himself
Allie Hosteiler ... Herself
Are you high?? Did you even WATCH this film?
Haha am i high?...no but i think everyone on that show was. Hard to believe that the Spanish police n child welfare, American embassy, American police, the FBI, the boy's family and friends, his teachers, neighbours etc, were all that stupid and gullible at the same time. If one or two people made a mistake ok, but all of them?? And the only 'smart' person was suppose to be the PI and his famous line was "In america, the interpol is like the GOD of police!!". Hahaha. No man i refuse to believe it was all real. I read some post from IMBD users saying how certain things didnt make sense. You can look it up.
And the fact that the director managed to capture all their different expressions on camera complete with cropped shots and different angles as if it were planned. And also the constant 'looking down and then SLOWLY look up again STRAIGHT AT THE CAMERA'. Didnt you notice that? No normal interviewee would do that unless it is scripted.
'Are you high?' <-----classy response.
What about Connie Chung?
shareAre you kidding? This is as real as it gets. Not only is it real, it looks just as real as it is. You can refuse to believe anything you want, but it's just ignorance. It's a long running story, you can check the media on the internet, all the articles, etc... I guess you'll choose not to and stick to your "story". Anyway...
shareHere's a classier response: you're a godamned idiot
shareOh and dont forget the Spanish and American immigration being duped too..coz you know how hard THAT is.
shareThis isn't a "found footage" documentary, you idiot. It's a real story with interviews of real people, intertwined with cinematic dramatizations. But all the people being interviewed are the actual people involved in the story. I live in the south, and this was a very big story back in the late 90s. You're just dumb.
shareNo need to argue with the idiot. everyone knows he's a moron already just by his initial post.
shareUm, most if not all documentaries include "found footage." It's only termed "found footage" if it is portrayed as real but is fake. This had real footage in it. It also had re-enactments, I guess maybe that's what your talking about, but there's nothing unusual at all about having real footage in a documentary.
"I've seen things that would make you want to write a book on how to puke."
Where is this 'found footage' you speak of?
We've met before, haven't we?
If you watched the extras on the DVD you would realize how silly your original comment was.
All the posey shots your describe were shot when the interviewee wasn't aware they were rolling. The filmmakers were interested by how random Frederick was, and how even during being interviewed he was finding it hard to keep up his act.
So although they didn't plan it that way, they kept the camera rolling in between questions and edited the most interesting experessions in later.
For you to say that all the interviews were "made up" when they were all of the real people involved, is just ignorant.
"Champagne for my real friends, and real pain for my sham friends..."share
HAHA I love your sig, I just watched that movie, boy was it messed up.
I knew that guy was going to kill those 2 as soon as he said "sham friends".
If you want anyone to take you seriously you should first learn what a "found footage" film actually is. Baby steps.
Another dingus who thinks the people being interviewed were actors. WHY DID THIS MOVIE ATTRACT SO MANY IDIOTS?
shareYou're mentally challenged aren't you? Bless your heart.
