Review of Disconnect 

The film “Disconnect” is a film about technology and our addictions because of the internet. People are addicted to it, abusing it and using it to their own good and others harm, just to get the satisfied.

In the film, we see different examples and cases on the theme.

Three boys, all with different lives, are followed trough the movie as they are making troubles connected to internet and bullying on the internet. The two friends are abusing the third boy by giving themselves out for being a girl, in love with the lonely boy. This happens to be a terrible mistake when a picture is spread.

A man, forcing young boys to share pornographic videos over the internet, is abusing an 18-year-old man. Trough this website the 18-year old comes in touch with a reporter in a local TV-station, a woman with intentions of a good story.  

A couple getting their identity stolen by an unknown person on the internet. They have troubles in their marriage as their many problems starts to get serious

I do not think there are any familiar elements to me in this film, but I see the message it is sending. People today are too into electronic devices, technology and internet. They seem to forget the real world they are actually living in. The issues in this film are real, they are happening every day, and many of us are forgetting abut the downsides of all this technical help. It is very easy to hide behind the internet, and to set up a scene. It may not be, as it seems.

I did like the film because I think the message of it is important, and I think we forget sometimes. It is easy to forget about the bad things about it, as the good things are more important to us. I do not mean that Internet is all wrong, but everything is connected, and it is affecting each other.

The part of the film that made most impression on me was when the bullied kid committed suicide. The two boys abused his trust by sending him pictures and messages on Facebook with the intention to harm the boy. They wanted to make fun out of him by playing with his emotions. This actually happens in the real world all the time. Many of the times, it is a good ending to the story, but too many times do the children feel the urge to take their life to end their problems

We have to stop the internet bullying as this is affecting too many people.
