Disconnect

1) A brief introduction to what the film is about.

I think the movie is about how technology can trick you, people think everything online is safe. Like the woman who where on a livechat page, chatting with a person who where down like her self because of her child died. Meanwhile they talked, the man emptyed her bank account. The movie is about how the internet can harm people, relationships and how it's just in every persons life. 

2) Your opinion about the issues presented in the film - are there any familiar elements?

Well, like the boy who get bullied online. You can always hear about people who are getting bullied online, maybe not that extreme. Also, people who are getting their account hacked because they give sensitive information to people who fake mails from the banks and things like that. Those thiefs are everywhere, so you always are around the issues. 

3) Did you like the film? Why/why not?

I did like the film, because the movie did present different problem caused by the online technology. Problems that are around us at anytime. Still, people dont even think a second about it. I think some people are to naive. I liked the way the movie did present different problems at the same time. It was like the movie was made in a community where it followed different lifes. 

4) Which part of the film made an impression on you? 

The part where the two boys made a fake facebook page, as a girl and started to chat with another boy who where kind of lonely. After some messages they got him to send a naked picture of himself, after that they did text it around to people and it was over his school at no time. This made the boy to try a suicide and then they litteraly caused problems for everyone cause of a little inicent joke. This made me think about how small jokes can be turned into something big for other people. This was kind of the most exreme types of jokes to do to people, but still - it made an impression.
