Shattered Glass Assignment

We have been watching the movie Shattered Glass, a film about Steven Glass (Hayden Christenson) who lied about all of his news articles, in class this last week and I have to say after seeing Star Wars Episode Three; I cannot watch Hayden Christenson being another actor the same. That aside the movie has not been too bad so far and Steven Glass is finding himself in a problem. I liked the way Steven and the rest of his co-workers got along and were willing to help each other all the time. They had a solid group and everyone seemed to be having a great time actually having a job. Steven went as far as to not even calling it work. As far as him making up stories as long as it wasn’t too absurd I don’t see any problem with it so much in the movie itself. The story Hack Heaven did not hurt anyone’s business or was it so absurd it needed to be all true. He wrote for people to be entertained and that is exactly what he was doing. Stephen is doing a pretty nice job being able to cover himself up for the first half of the movie until he gets the new editor that won’t even try to stand up for him like the old one. I do give the editor credit for having to fire him for what he did after he was busted for it because nobody would of taken his writing seriously anymore after that.
