Factual errors: The film implies that Colin invented the close-up around 1912, but the earliest close-ups date from around 1903, nine years earlier. moreFAQ

Jackson pull this one great! It is not so believeable as some other mockumentaries (like "Curse of the Blair Witch") but this one is so funny and soo well done !
Some scenes are obviously fake but made me laugh well :) and some are so impressive especially fake silent movies that really looks like 90 years old copies (Jackson himself can be seen as extra in some scenes in "Saloma" oD )! They really did excelent job - I admire all efforts that was put to shoot it.
Relly great and funny movie that just must be seen!
10/10
