Saw the movie "Shattered Glass'Last night.

[romantico]

This is an incredible film! I loved it! Great cast.Great story.Great acting!Anyone else see this film?

1. Many have seen it, many have posted of it

Yet each thread seems to get no more than one response before being buried. I liked it a lot too, though I found it minorly disturbing; you almost felt bad for Glass, he was so pathetic. Haydn Christianson did better in here than in Star Wars, for sure.

3. thought the same thing!

I really felt sorry for Hayden's charachter & his editor was in a tough position as well. Excellent charachters in this film really made it more believable.I hate it when charachters are either black or white.This really touches on gray matters which makes it very interesting!

7. IMO, the only reason we feel sorry for Glass

Is because Christianson is so good at playing him weepy and miserable. Nothing to humanize a villain like tears (and a pretty mug)-- yet in this case I think they were quite deceptive. He was pretty pathetic, IMO! Poor fool.

2. I did and it was good

I thought Chloe Sevigny was particularly good. LOL, you have to wonder, if that is really how it all went down, what a bunch of gullible schmucks worked at the NR.

4. How far right is

the New Republic anyway?

5. Pretty balanced, left leaning, or so I thought.

However, their editor, Michael Kelly, went on to work for Fox News before his death in Iraq last year. So I don't know. I have bought a few issues and enjoyed the reporting.

6. It is not "far right"

maybe you are thinking of "The National Review". I have read it
since 1992.
