A common sentiment that has been shared about the Internet is that we are at the same time more interconnected and isolated than ever before and We all go to the World Fairis the dead representation of this idea. After I grew up reading Internet city myths and Copypastas on forums like something terrible, I was attracted to this film Jane Schoenbrun because it examines the harmful effect that the Internet could have on adolescents when they are left unattended.
Back in the 90s and early auightes and I have access to shock sites such as Rotten, which traumatized us for life. We all go to the World Fair It carries the same type of energy to gene Z, but using viral challenges that have their own unique set of consequences. By exploring our obsession of the film by finding validation on the Internet, there is a basic sadness when this emotional context turns out to be based on superficial interactions that simply cannot replace real life relationships.
I want to go to the World Fair
We all go to the World Fair Centers at Casey (Anna Cobb), a live streamer who decides to take over the “world fair challenge”. While the rules of the game are mostly left to the viewer’s imagination, the basic prerequisite is that if the user online “I want to go to the World Fair” three times, stabbing with your finger, blur their blood on the screen and watching a short video that the audience has never seen but includes a lot of flashing colors , then now play an interactive game with commonwealth Other players who document how the game changes their mental and physical condition.
Casey, who lives a lonely life in his attic bedroom, desperately wants to undergo his own changes and find his audience through a world fair challenge. After watching many videos of other players who demonstrate how they changed since the start of the challenge, Casey slipped into depression because its content does not create opinions and experiences any real changes from the external forces. When she fights her lack of popularity online, a user known as JLB (Michael J. Rogers) contacts her via Skype and tells her that she is in danger.
Focuses on the isolation of adolescents
Location of primary focus on isolated everyday life of Casey, We all go to the World Fair It shows how harmful Internet trends could be for lonely teenagers trying to find their own identity. In the case of Casey, it becomes depressing over the low viewer of her videos. This low viewership directly correlates with her behavior as a game and her interviews with JLB, either have a legitimate effect on her psychological state, or at least encourage her to become more and more unconsented in the effort to gain opinions.
Expressing suicidal and murderous thoughts when he gets deeper into the world fair challenge, Casey’s videos have launched JLB – who may or may not organize the whole game – to address her because she doesn’t want to see her online friend to engage in any regrettable behavior. Although it seems obvious that Casey desperately tries to create a human connection through a viral trend, it is not entirely clear whether the game itself is in fact a reason for its change in behavior or whether it simply leans into assumption, so not to feel so alone.
Slowly burning psychological drama
Despite the heavy object We all go to the World Fair Packaging, its estimated 15,000 $ budget forces the audience to read between the lines. With small to any special effects, the tension is manifested through the view of Cam Casey and the discomfort you will feel when watching this film comes from a place that is not necessarily tangible. I knew how little this film was made, I was absolutely impressed by how much tension was due to the easy use of shining computer monitors and black light in a dark room that sets tone and mood.
The best way to describe the emotions that We all go to the world Fair Trying to evoke, it is a kind of feeling you would get as a child when you were home aloneNone of your friends were around and you turned to the Internet to feel something other than loneliness or boredom.
Among the sequences involving Casey’s living currents are during the winter months in which it documented, grained shots of rainy suburbs We all go to the World FairCreating a picturesque background that evokes the feelings of despair despite the fact that most of these images are quite harmless in any other context.
Works as the first part of what is now known as Screen trilogyYou can currently stream We all go to the World Fair to max as well as its sequel, I saw a television glow. From this writing, the details of the third installment are not yet known.
