It seems that social media has become such a huge part of our lives and culture that it’s being plastered onto movie screens for us to see. First it was “The Social Network” and now it’s the upcoming movie “Chef”. According to the article I found on Mashable, the movie “Chef” is about a chef learning what a huge role social media can play into helping shape a business and the disaster it can cause. I find it interesting how social media is such an integral part of our culture and lives that it’s being made into a movie to show people how significant of a role it really does play.

You can check out the exclusive trailer of “Chef” here. Even though I saw the trailer, which is just a snippet of the film, it seems to depict both the good and bad that can come from social media. Sometimes the things we post can cause chaos, but maybe also other things we post can resolve the chaos we ensued. What do you think of films depicting how social media is integrated into our lives? The director stated in the article how he wanted to capture “where we are in time and the language we use”. From the trailer or just in general, do you think this film or other social media-based movies accurately capture the generation of our time?
