What we can learn from this documentary:
How much we need heroes. No matter if they are real or fake.
We are willing to do everything to stand up to them even if they have proven fake and not that person we thought they are.
How media( now social media) and TV give us these well-crafted fake heroes, who say and show us what we want to hear and see.
How much we rely on a person's media persona and image rather than who really is. Including the person himself.
In the social media area, we still haven't learned anything about our past mistakes and are willing to believe everything positive and good we see about a person in the media, we only want to see our hero as a perfect person, without any mistakes or failures. While we ourselves show the perfect life on social media, the reality doesn't matter. We ignore it and we don't want to hear it or deal with it.
We still willing to defend rapist, sex offenders, rather then the victims. We will still blame the victims, protect the perpetrators.
We made a little progress, but still not enough to a real solution to protect victims of sex crimes or convict these criminals. Basically, they can still get away with "you were a bad boy" and a shoulder tap.
A great documentary which teaches us about fake heroism, fake well crafted media persona, fake social media image ( now) and our desperate need for heroes.
