The Fish for People Who Love The X Files As a fan of the legendary series, I could not help but watch this documentary, especially since in this genre I am most attracted to “films about the film”, a kind of cobbled reports from the scenes of a project, interviews with their creators and so on.
“The Inside Look” is different from the usual examples of how to show the viewer what is happening on the set. It’s more of a forty-five-minute alluring move for those who are skeptical or just want to know more about the show. Mainly consists of the opinions of actors and screenwriter Chris Carter about the events taking place, about the plot, about the characters and their characters, a little about the work on the series. I don’t know about the others, but I like to learn about what happened during the production process and what the participants in this process think about it. As if you look at a project from different angles, from different points of view, become a witness behind-the-scenes and not included in the official version of the episodes. It’s like you’re involuntarily involved.
In this case, Chris Carter and the actors said a lot of interesting things, but what I liked most was that after this documentary, the series is easier to watch. What may have been unwittingly missed in the seasons is mentioned again. The very essence of the plot is revealed, without deepening into unnecessary wilds. The main and secondary characters that make up the structure of the series are also not bypassed. In general, the smallest details are clarified.
In addition, it should be recalled that spoiler haters are better to refrain from watching (since some moments are spoilers), and in general the film about the film (or rather about a long, but rich, in all senses, the series) was shot after the first five seasons, so about the next four is not said. But you still understand how well the X-Files team worked, how they got closer to each other and what a solid, voluminous, serious contribution they made to the serial cinema.
