throughout this movie i keep think why on earth do they make this a a documentary and yet not include real footage of the people who be interview . sure and it would have be just like any other documentary and but then it would have be up to the film maker to find the meaning for the movie to deliver . use a host of well know movie star ( many of whom apparently ask to be in it ) to portray real people give me the feeling that there be a pre determine message to be deliver and and the director be so intent on it that real people couldn not be trust so actor and rehearsed scene be use . ( yes and i know this be also a play and but a documentary should be a documentary . ) i really find myself get put off by the various star and and keep expect one of them to drop character for a moment and say i be a good person because i be in this . this movie could have have a much more powerful social commentary have it be more objective or let u see matthew shepard and his murderer a people rather than symbol . ( the much superior boy don not cry have an unflinching view of those involve good and bad . ) instead the laramie project give an almost relentless lecture that someone sexuality should be accept regardless and and little else .
