if there one genre that i have never be a fan of and it the biopic . always mislead and fill with false information and over dramatize scene and and trickery all around and biopics be almost never do right . even in the hand of the truly talented director like martin scorsese ( the aviator ) and ron howard ( a beautiful mind ) and they often do a great disservice to the people they be try to capture on screen . skeptiscism take the place of hype with the majority of biopics that make their way to the big screen and the notorious bettie page be no different . some critic and moviegoer object to gretchen mol give the role of bettie page and say she be no long a celebrity and do not have the chop for the part . i never doubt mol could handle the part since and but i never expect to as blown a away by her performance a i be upon just view the film hour ago . mol deliver a knockout oscar worthy performance a the iconic 1950 pin up girl and who and after an early life of abuse ( depict subtlety and tastefully do and something few director would probably do ) inadvertently become one of the most talked about model of all time . the picture cover a lot of ground in it 90 minute run time yet despite no less than three subplots and there be still a feeling that there may be a small portion miss from the story . director or co writer marry harron and guinevere turner fantastic script be only mar by a too abrupt and not as clear a it should be end . still and credit must be give to the two lady for create a nearly flawless biopic that manage to pay tribute to both it subject and the decade it emulate masterfully . come oscar time and mol and turner and and harron should be receive nomination . doubt it will happen and though there certainly be no three woman more deserving of them . positive .
