The Real Gorillaz...

The first documentary that I watched was actually a mockumentary called "The Charts Of Darkness". It basically was a inside look at the people behind the Gorillaz. The Gorillaz is an animated rap/rock band from the U.K. They have seen commercial sucess all around the world and mainly in the U.S. with hits like Clint Eastwood, Tomorrow Comes Today, and most recently Feel Good Inc. off of their lastest album Demon Days. The "band" consist of fictional characters 2D, Noodle, Russel, and Murdoc. While the actual band consist of two people Damon Albam and Jamie Hewlett, who collabrate with many different artist to help with their songs.

In the documentary there was a man trying to figure out just who exactly were behind the Gorillaz and made it his mission to find out. So throughout the entire mockumentary the man is on a wild goose-chase. Only to find that he just missed them by a couple of days. Along the way he interviews countless people to better understand just who these people are.

While all this is going on Damon is going around and getting things together for their new album. This is where it gets kind of weird because we find out that Damon is living in a false reality and believes that the Gorillaz are really. He is seen booking hotel rooms and doing things for the band as if they were really.

Thats where the man (interviewer) comes to the conclusion that Damon is crazy and that everything is in his head. And That was the documentary on the Gorillaz.
