My essay explains the identity of a man with a subtle maniacal passion for movies. This man displays his passion through his blog. From Rettberg’s Blogging I have learned that, “we create a reflection of ourselves in a weblog” (Rettberg 120). This blogger’s passion is a self-reflection of who he is and who he wants to be perceived as. This blogger, according to his birth certificate goes by the name of Erik Samdahl, is the moderator of filmjabber.com and is an avid movie buff. I emphasize throughout my essay how this passionate side of this movie blogger is expressed through the many movie reviews that he has written. This fanatic focuses on movies and not about his plans for Friday night in his blog. His personal life is not a part of his blog. Rettberg states that, “we use our blogs to veil ourselves, not telling all but presenting only certain carefully selected aspects of ourselves to our readers,” this veil being his personal life (Rettberg 120).
