Stellar film and made more so but the audacity of Glass to forge these stories just to make a name for himself. That scene at the end where Sarsgaard's character reads off the names of all the stories and the writer has to admit the fakery one by one. With each admission he sinks deeper and deeper into shame.Film Samuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12756329740631158482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073025888325415158.post-42011887881237859712012-06-02T15:38:33.841-04:002012-06-02T15:38:33.841-04:00I think this is a very underrated film about journ...I think this is a very underrated film about journalism. Notably about how it works.<br /><br />I like the way the narrative shifts where the first half is about Stephen Glass' rise and then the second half becomes about how Chuck Lane discovers the facade that is Stephen Glass.<br /><br />It's still the only thing that Hayden Christensen has done that is any good but the break-out star for me was Peter Sarsgaard.

Great film that definitely says a lot about journalism and shows you that everything you write about, will always be in print. Good review.Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
