Morgan Spurlock's documentary, "Mansome" is a Great Documentary to See

Morgan Spurlock's documentary, "Mansome" is a great documentary to see. Morgan Spurlock is one of the best documentary filmmaker today. His films are provocative, gripping, and extremely interesting. This film tries to answer the questions what does it mean to be a man, and what is the definition of masculinity? With the help of Jason Bateman and Will Arnett, this film goes in depth of chivalry, grooming, metrosexuality, and appearance in general. The idea of masculinity has changed over the years, and Spurlock has an inside look of this whole idea by taking us through beard competitions, barber shops, and nail salons, to give us an answer of that it is up to interpretation and opinion. Culture and generations have been changing through the decades and the idea of looking nice and looking attractive and being manly has changed as well, and Morgan Spurlock has absolutely made another gem with this documentary.

Morgan Spurlock is one of my favorite directors. His films have been so entertaining, and funny to watch that he has probably killed the stereotype of documentaries being boring. He has made interesting films that are so exciting to watch because it is different from any other documentary because he is involved in his own film, much like he has done with "Super Size Me." This film was not as good as "Super Size Me" or "Greatest Movie Ever Sold" but it was a great film to watch to think about the idea about being the best person you can be.

Grade = 81/100 = B-
