heartbreaking/great
This movie was so heartbreaking. The pain of Selma Blair's character after reading her story and exclaiming, "But it happened!" In her fiction writing class, she writes a non-fiction story, but everyone thinks it's fake. It's really sad. In the "Non-Fiction" half (more like two-thirds), the sadness of Scoobie as he watches his life turned into a fictional exploitation piece at the film screening is really crushing. I felt really bad for him. As he sees the ambulances taking his dead family away, he confronts Paul Giamatti's character. He says, "You have a hit." That was very affecting. It shows how the media turns our realities into fiction stories, so they will make profits. I felt bad for a lot of the characters in this (actually just Scoobie, Selma Blair, and the brother in the coma). Why do people hate this movie? I thought it was great, heartbreaking, and it makes you think about the very act of storytelling.
