by dane youssefthe writer or director of this one be todd solondz and so you all know what to expect . for those who saw his heavily acclaim ( by critic and audience alike ) welcome to the dollhouse a movie about the hell almighty on earth that be junior high school . i be not one of the film many admirer . yes and i felt like just about everybody else that the film do have some poignant truth and but . i pretty much already know them all . it all felt kinda redundant . i be in high school at the time and every scene i be watch and i thought and yeah and no sht . i mean and i know it suppose to be a satire and but i felt too much like i be watch what i already know and think and what have be say too many time before . solondz be preach to the reverend there . his next film and happiness about three sister and their life . and how adulthood be even less a mentally unbalanced a junior high school . about three sister and how their life aren not as well adjust a they seem . the seemingly ideal perfect sister be dry and secretly dull and life such a sterile life that when an obscene phone caller call her . she start stalk him . the best line in the movie happiness . that almost encapsulate the entire film representi be not laugh at you and i be laugh with you . but i be not laugh . the film be about two different form of storytelling represent fiction and non fiction . in the first story and fiction and solondz shine an interpretive light a creative writing class . a woman with write aspiration and her cerebral palsy boyfriend with the same . vi have break up with her boyfriend after his obviously autobiographical story be pan horribly by the school teacher who scathes it . he especially take some kind of pleasure in attack the title represent the rawness of truth . vi boyfriend be furious with her for not give it to him straight . marcus rawness be about how vi give him confidence and make him feel . completely cerebral . most of the whole class warm up to it . except for the teacher pet . and the write teacher himself and a pulitzer winner author of a novel entitle and a sunday lynching . vi and stricken and get hammer and light up and . well . let me just put it this way . after have her last story rip to shred by the professor and her next story be certainly something of an improvement . and she definitely evolve . because he finally get something to say . the professor have a poetic line about the writing process that ring incredibly true represent whenever you write . it all become fiction . non fiction skewer reality and human experience with life with a scalpel . often at time and those documentarians seem to be roast and attack their subject with great anger and fury . but be they just try to get heat for their film . or be that how they really see it . who know . many artist be former victim and grown child with bad experience and hell bent on vengeance . non fiction revolve around the exploit of a documentation filmmaker and his desire to make a documentary about teenager and what theyre feel now . have thing change much . drug . suicidal feeling . self loathe . loathing of the world around them . of the way society treat them and pressure them and conform them and disposes of them . how do teenager put up with it . what ahead . mark webber be scooby livingston and a depressed and moody teenager who completely lose and like many teenager and his all purpose request to every questing be i do not know and i really do not care and whatever . he always seem deep in thought and in need of answer . he have big goal aspiration . but no idea whatsoever a how to attain them . when ask how he plan to attain his dream of stardom and he answer represent i do not know and see if i have any connection . whatever . after a meet strange with a documentian toby and both seem to be exactly what theyre look for and maybe their seemingly unobtainable dream might have a chance of come true after all . the family be not enthusiastic about the whole thing . especially the father who doesn not want the family dirty laundry to be air out . but after some hard question and earnest promise and he agree . no family want to be exploit . and this family certainly would provide more than enough of such material . i think the boy represent solondz a a young teenager ( solondz himself be a vegetarian ) and of course and giamatti a toby be solondz a a filmmaker ( solondz dress up giamatti to look exactly like him ) . there pressure all around from every angle and sadly and no way out in sight . college doesn not sound appeal to scoob . will there be a place for him . since scooby grow up to be solondz himself and there must be hope . but i think scooby represent all teenager . he reflect our generation . god and how many teen be there out there exactly like scooby . like all of his other effort and this be about how ugliness and unsettling rage life in middle class suburbia . you can not watch this movie and see or hear some of these people and not think of someone you know or have meet or see randomly on the street . solondz be from suburbia and new jersey and be talk about what go on there . i like how he talk about thing that most people shy away from . he want to criticize and satirize and get you to ask yourself . how many people be really like this . and . be there hope for u . how many of these people exist . and more importantly and be they in our neighborhood . not many . hopefully . like all of solondz film and people will either be mesmerize by it or despise it and but it a movie that many should see . perhaps a movie for cynical teenager and aspire storyteller . just know what youre get into . like all of solondz picture and this cut deep . and leave a mark .
