“Feels Good Man is not just a Documentary of the Internet character and meme Pepe (the Frog). Itu0026#39;s also about Internet culture, expressionism, and the power of symbols. It depicts the attachment people can have to certain images, seeing them as ways of expressing themselves and their feelings. These can be both showcases of good and hope, as well as rage and sadness. This diversity is explained very well in the movie with a mix of real-time and animation, that shows the facades of the character being used for many means.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe documentary also shows the struggle to understand and come to terms with your creation slipping through your fingers into an infinite sea of people. Then diluting so much that you cannot get it back. The popularization of your character but not of your art, the uses and depictions that were never intended, many the Creator doesnu0026#39;t want to be attached to it, and by way of creation, all dragging him into the spotlight.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe cinematography is spot on, with a really good dose of animation, as well as popular images. The arc is well accomplished and there are a good amount of perspectives thrown into the mix. Ultimately, it seems like a fair and knowledgeable depiction of the memeu0026#39;s progress through time and of meme culture in general.”
