      human nature

      This was one of the first films I came across. When I was still in a daze and doing nothing, Sister Yingyi and I watched this movie together. I remember me and her lying on the cot in the babysitter's room, staring at the little TV.
      I have forgotten a lot about this movie. Looking back now, the deepest impression is that the reporter walked backwards at various sales places at the beginning of the film. A condom advertisement attracted his attention, and the expression on his face was...

      The cost of fraud

      Since this film is a basic real event, after watching the film, I searched for news about the protagonist of the film on the Internet and saw the following report:

      https://newrepublic.com/article/120145/stephen-glass-new-republic-scandal -still-haunts-his-law-career

      This is the 2014 "New Republic" magazine reporter interviewing the protagonist of the film Stephen Glass. This reporter used to be friends with Stephen, but after Stephen's fraud scandal broke out, they have no...

      The status of Stephen Glass (January 27, 2014)

      In 2000, Stephen Glass passed the New York State Bar Examination, but was unable to pass the ethics test because of this news taint, and New York State refused to issue him a lawyer's license.

      In 2003, Stephen Glass worked as a reporter for a short period of time, but the release of this film completely destroyed his dream of being a reporter. Then he faded out of people's vision.

      In 2009, Stephen Glass applied to the California Bar Examination Board for a lawyer's license,...

      Hayden Christensen’s acting proving

      The script feels very general, and the only possibility that the audience can give a good comment is "adapted based on real events". But Hayden's acting skills in this film are amazing. If I haven't read other comments about him, I think I would treat him as a very powerful actor. His interpretation of the role of Stephen is empathetic. When he appeared to his colleagues on the verge of collapse and desperately asking for help, the feeling of pretending to be a deceitful...

      Classmate, is this your virginity?

      The guy is so handsome. If he looks a little bit ugly and special, he should have won an early fame and won the prize. This film is absolutely terrific, and he is a natural actor. Although in the past few years as Yishui, I followed the trend of the same type of biographical movies of liars, compared to the cat and mouse game line, the stretched too long made me drowsy, and some of the plots were too weird. This film about news practitioners making fake news is much easier to understand in...

      Today, I heard On the Media talk about Stephen Glass's inability to enter the CA State Bar last month. After watching it, he found a very good movie about pathological lying. Speaking of which, this person is really suitable for being a lawyer, the American society is indeed worse...

    Movie plot

    A ray of morning light spilled through the window lattice on the computer desk in the corner of the room, and at the same time awakened Stephen Glass who was in deep thought. He pushed the glasses that had slipped from the bridge of his nose, and he had been sitting in a chair for hours without knowing how many hours. He stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the city gradually awakening from its deep sleep, a smug smile...

    Movie quotes

    • Chuck Lane: [in Stephen's office after business hours] You had your brother pose as George Sims.

      Stephen Glass: What?

      Chuck Lane: The phony recording from Jukt Micronics? It's a Palo Alto number. And your brother is a student at Stanford. You had him pose as Sims.

      Stephen Glass: No, Sims is a real guy...

      Chuck Lane: Steve, Steve...

      Stephen Glass: I've talked to him a million times, Chuck. My brother and I aren't even speaking right now.

      Chuck Lane: Stop it. You faked Sims, you faked a website, you faked all those voicemails...

      Stephen Glass: [speaking at the same time] You don't know. You don't know, Chuck.

      Chuck Lane: Restil, Hiert, Ghort...

      Stephen Glass: [speaking at the same time] You got this totally backward.

      Chuck Lane: It's all crap. I can trace it if you make me. I'll find it all billed to you.

    • Gloria: [referring to the discovery that Stephen fabricated his stories] You know what could've prevented all this, don't you?

      Chuck Lane: No, what?

      Gloria: Pictures. How could you make up characters if everyone you wrote about had to be photographed?

    • Chuck Lane: [during a litigation meeting] We've read through all the pieces now, the entire staff, and we've come up with a list of those whose facts and sources we couldn't verify independently. I know you can't admit guilt of any kind but I want you to confirm a few titles for me.

      Glass' Lawyer: We're not prepared to confirm or deny anything at this time.

      Chuck Lane: What I'm going to do is this, I'm going to read to you a list of suspicious titles, one by one. If you raise an objection to a particular title, we'll fact check it again in the hope of removing it from the list. If you remain silent we'll assume that piece is fabricated either partially or entirely, and it'll stay on. Is that clear to everyone?

      Chuck Lane: Okay.

      [Chuck reads from the list]

      Chuck Lane: "Hazardous To Your Mental Health."

      [Stephen remains silent]

      Chuck Lane: That means it stays on the list of suspicious pieces, fabricated pieces.

      Glass' Lawyer: We understand, can we move along?

      Chuck Lane: [Chuck continues to reads from the list] "Holy Trinity," "Probable Clause," "Don't You D.A.R.E.," "Spring Breakdown," "State of Nature," "Rock The Morons," "After The Fall"...
