storytelling be an indictment of repressive suburbia and but it be also an indictment of the postmodern and ironic and and politically correct intellectual and and how both part of society control and restrict people from be truly who they be . it be also about and well and storytelling and how easily story and plot be manipulate for effect . the first half hour and fiction and be devote to a story of a college student and vi and who be tire of date the undergraduate and end up a violent and racially charge sex scene with her african american creative writing professor . solondz push the limit on all of the society button in fiction and from the handicapped to race relation to sexual politics and and it be almost like he be simply out to shock the audience . the short film come across a even trite and cliched and although now i realize that i be quote a scene from it almost directly and so perhaps this be solondz point . still and if you ever see any other of solondz movie and you can see the whole point of this section come from a mile away ( the danger of political correctness and the prudishness and hypocrisy of the american middle class and even those claim to be liberal or progressive and etc . ) and i just couldn not believe that vi would only say don not be racist and do not be racist in the bathroom scene . i think i get ta get the hell outta here would be much more logical . however and the brilliant last hour and nonfiction and more than make up for the first half . it tell the story of a listless and intelligent teenager who live with an angry and sad family in suburban new jersey and and also about the documentary that be be make about them . truly and i wish this be the whole movie and it be that good . yes and there plenty of postmodern film within the film winking and but that quickly fall apart a we reach the heartbreaking and disturb end and when the movie suddenly become painfully real . what be also funny about nonfiction and which be suppose to be real and be that it contain completely fictional and even force plot point represent someone be injure and slip into a coma and someone else be hypnotize and tell what to do and and even the final and terrible act seem more to come out of a bad tv movie than real life . ( i also especially enjoy the not so subtle dig at american beauty and american movie . ) do we want our life to be more like an episode of friend and wrap up neat and tidy and with minor quibble that be resolve in a half hour ( or and during sweep and maybe a two part special ) . be political correctness just a big cover up for uncomfortable yet still very real desire and thought . which be bad represent be tell what to do and or be tell what to think . be the two the same thing . storytelling do address these question and and i think if nonfiction be stretch to feature length and it would answer them brilliantly . but and because of the ho hum first hour ( yes and ho hum and even with that scene and all ) and all the piece do not quite fall together . to change the lyric of a certain scottish band and it could have be a brilliant movie . storytelling be worth see for the great acting ( in both fiction and nonfiction ) and the excellent second section and but you can clip your toenail or stare out the window for the most part during the first half hour . i be expect more of a cynical irony fest a in happiness and but i be truly touch by nonfiction and and it will stay with me for quite awhile .
