Review of Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade (2007) by Michael T — 17 Oct 2012
This movie will provoke inevitable comparisons to The King of Kong, since they both involve many of the same classic video game enthusiasts. Whereas King of Kong presents itself as a character-driven sports movie, complete with hero and one of the biggest villains in documentary film history (okay, that might be a slight exaggeration).
Chasing Ghosts definitely presents its characters in a more honest light, allowing them to portray themselves however they wish. The picture presented may be more honest, but is in no way more optimistic.
It is surprising how negatively some of the individuals portray themselves, and how sad some of their stories are.
