5) Feels Good Man
An interesting take on Pepe The Frog and the artist’s response to his work being taken over by the alt-right. The doc puts a different lens on the discussion of authorial intent by showing an artist’s creation being stolen and transformed into a hate symbol. For as outlandishly funny as the film gets, it’s equally tragic, especially when the ADL’s designation of Pepe as a hate symbol destroys the artist’s life. The film also shows how the internet and internet culture has changed over the years, providing an interesting outlook on niche internet subcultures. Feels Good Man is funny, weird, wild, and only gets stranger as it goes on.
