Is Film Integrity Gone? Don't See this Film
As I watched this film, I didn't know if it was a hoax or not, and I found out in an article the next day in theArts section of the NY Times.
Now, I am not jumping to any conclusions because I don't know what to believe anymore, but I really don't think all of the film was a hoax. I have a real feeling that labeling the film a hoax is Casey Affleck's desperate attempt save his brother in law's tarnished repuation
More blame should go to Casey Affleck because he is after all the film maker. Joaquin Phoenix's hubris and out of control drug use is very much apparent in this film and is probably true off screen. He just went along with the ride knowing his brother in law was fiming him, while he jokingly pursued a music career. I have to admit, some of the lyrics were not so bad though. As I mentioned before, I don't know what is true. I just have to say that i've lost all my respect for Casey Affleck, and I wish Joaquin Phoenix all the best.
