final

“There are those people who are catfish in life. And they keep you on your toes. They keep you guessing, they keep you thinking, they keep you fresh. And I thank god for the catfish because we would be droll, boring and dull if we didn't have somebody nipping at our fin”- Vince Pierce. Catfish is an intriguing adventure that tells of a seemingly ordinary internet relationship gone wrong. After watching this movie you will probably never trust anyone on the internet again. This movie is surprisingly satisfying and is hilarious if you can relate.
The name of the movie is Catfish. The directors are Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. The main Character is Yaniv Schulman or Nev for short, His brother Ariel and their friend Henry Joost. The production company is Hit the ground running films and Rogue films. The movie was made in 2010.
The story starts as a documentary about an eight year old painter named Abby but then a relationship forms and things take a turn for the worst. They travel to Michigan after Nev had a relationship with Abby’s sister for 8 months. Nev falls in love and decides to pay a surprise visit to his mysterious lover. Then he realizes things are not as they seem.
I really liked Nev. He seemed really down to earth and a genuinely nice guy. He was pretty patient and paid for Abby’s paintings when Angela talked on the phone and how he took a bunch of pictures for Abby to paint. He was also very kind as he discovered Angela’s lies one by one. He also treated Angela very well when making her come clean. If I were in his position, I would have left long ago.
I liked the movie. It kept you guessing although you have some suspicions. Mostly teens and adults would like the movie because they get that type of thing (face book and relationships). I liked the movie because of mystery and feeling of wanting to know more.

final catfish

The movie was a good movie. I am kind of disgusted but also sympathetic towards angela. She was a straight up liar. She almost lied about everything, she even lied about having cancer and abby painting. I think it was really sad how she felt trap and made her own world. It was scary how she pretty much stole that girls identity and how she had so many pictures of her. Nev is such a nice guy for putting up with it and being so gentle with the situation. I probably would of left that house a long time ago. I am never going to have an online relationship. I thought the title was pretty clever and how angela was the catfish.

catfish pt1

I thought the movie is pretty good so far. Nev is a pretty cool dude it seems. I just don't know what to believe right now. The movie just shows people can just lie to your face and you'll never know. I find the family to be really strange and shady. Why would that megan girl lie about those songs being hers? It's strange really, it seems like the whole family is in on the scheme. I'm wondering how things are gonna turn out when they go to michigan. I want to know what is real and what isn't. I think it's funny when people lie to you and you already know.
