Shattered Glass Movie Synopsis
Stephen Glass (Christensen) was a staff writer for the respected current events and policy magazine The New Republic and a freelance feature writer for publications such as Rolling Stone, Harper’s and George. By the mid-'90s, Glass’ articles had turned him into one of the most sought-after young journalists in Washington, but a bizarre chain of events – chronicled in Buzz Bissinger’s September, 1998 Vanity Fair article upon which Shattered Glass is based – suddenly stopped his career in its tracks. Shattered Glass is a study of a very talented – and at the same time very flawed – character. It is also a look inside our culture’s noblest profession, one that protects our most precious freedoms by revealing the truth, and what happens when our trust in that profession is called into question.
I was surprised by this movie actually. When I saw the trailors, I didn`t think it would be amazing because, the storyline didn`t sound like any movie I`ve ever seen. But, after I watched it, I thought it was pretty unique the way it was written. A sad movie, but very good.
Shattered glass is one of a kind movie! Film like this, is the foundation for a real chill out atmosphere --- stress free and easy going. The beauty of this film is that it involves a certain mood and emotion that is subjective. It has catchy lines, interesting themes and unique collaboration. It features artists from a wide spectrum such as Hayden Christensen, Peter Sarsgaard,Chloë Sevigny, Rosario Dawson, Melanie Lynskey, so the film doesn`t come from just one perspective. It has a product of good lines and finely crafted story.
