The sad thing is he never really captured the magic in a bottle again. All of the documentaries after Super Size Me were kind of... nothing. He kind of failed to cash in on the genre he himself invented.
In a lot of ways, whether he or anyone there ever realized it or not, but his influence on today's Youtube cannot be understated.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoIt probably truly was ligntning in a bottle. I can't comment on his other movies, but very very few works become so sensationalized that a collective generation all remember viewing the same thing in school. Especially in video format. Supersize me stands alongside Bill Nye, Magic Schoolbus, and maybe Idiocracy as "something everyone my age/country has seen", no matter where we grew up. I say sensationalized simply because I don't think the quality of the documentary really influenced that. Maybe his other movies are much better from a critical lens (especially in wake of criticism over his experiment). It was truly the right place at the right time
- littlekey 2y agoI don't know what's sad about that, it's fortunate enough to get one such hit in one's career. Also, the doc he did about product placement was also well received from what I've seen.
- xhkkffbf 2y agoIt's true. Everything has a peak. All directors have a film that did the biggest box office. His was "Super Size Me."
