Storytelling : Fiction

Fiction

Does anyone else wish the fiction section was longer? I would have liked to have seen how Vi told her boyfriend about her encounter with her professor, as well as how Vi’s relationship with Marcus went after that. I also wonder how the rest of the encounter with Mr. Scott turned out.

Re: Fiction

Yeah, I thought it felt kind of incomplete, too.

Re: Fiction

I also felt like the scene where Marcus is looking at his reflection had more to it, as well. Like maybe something happened before with him, too.

Re: Fiction

I don’t think there is.

Re: Fiction

According to IMDB, the only thing that was cut was another section called “Autobiography,” but I also would have liked to have seen more scenes in fiction.

Re: Fiction

I read that Selma Blair’s character’s roommate supposedly had more scenes.

Re: Fiction

giamatti kills in this. when he's on the phone while the toilet flushes is all-time.

Re: Fiction

Or, maybe the full argument with Vi and Marcus when they break up over the phone. We don’t know what Marcus said to her.

Re: Fiction

I would have been fine with just fiction being a short film. I preferred fiction over non-fiction.

Re: Fiction

Same here.

Re: Fiction

I thought fiction would have been a good short film, too.

Re: Fiction

Marcus wasn’t upset about it. He even acknowledged that it was true in the next classroom scene.

Re: Fiction

Right, he was just upset about her story being torn apart by her classmates.

Re: Fiction

Yes, he and Mr. Scott were the only ones who knew it was true.

Re: Fiction

I would have liked to have seen those things, too.

Re: Fiction

I thought non-fiction was ok, but I agree about fiction being better. Wish Leo Fitzpatrick had more scenes, too. Like him comforting his girlfriend when she comes to see him.

Re: Fiction

Yeah, Leo was good in this.

Re: Fiction

In an interview, Leo thought he wasn’t good in this.

Re: Fiction

I think he was better in this than in Kids. More easy to sympathize with.

Re: Fiction

Yeah, he was not a good person in Kids.

Re: Fiction

I think he was being too hard on himself.

Re: Fiction

This is the interview I was referring to:

Re: Fiction

And maybe a little more of the opening scene too.

Re: Fiction

I’d have liked to have seen what he did when she left his room.

Re: Fiction

Yeah, I like Leo Fitzpatrick.

Re: Fiction

I thought the opening scene was one of the most real looking sex scenes I’ve seen. It looked like the boyfriend was actually nude.

Re: Fiction

I think what we saw, is what there is.

Re: Fiction

Yes, I would have liked to have seen the full encounter with her boyfriend.
