Thought Provoking

A struggling writer's spite spectacularly backfires in more than one way. Well written, acted and very entertaining. American Fiction uses one of my personal favorite plot devices, however the ending is felt coming from a fair distance away.


a few complaints (spoiler alert)

I liked it, but I had a few complaints. Yes, it was a comedy, but the white people were too much a parody of themselves. I suppose that the humor of “white guilt” was the point? That said, I might have preferred his agent be white? Just for some balance. The ending disappointed me. Right when he was going to speak at the podium, it faded to black and then presented multiple possible endings. It objectified itself. Call me corny, but the entire flick led to the writer confessing the truth, not only to the awards panel present, but especially those close to him and his romantic interest. I would have enjoyed that piece of writing. Instead it objectified itself, almost cynically. Was I not suppose to take any of it seriously? Then why make it? It was a film with a message - in theory.


I loved it

Funny


What did I just watch?

I was attracted to this movie because of my love for writting. I saw the good reviews> So I fiqured it was a guarantee. Boy was I wrong. While the acting and the topic were good. The movie itself was horrible. It had a bad sense of flow within a movie. It had so much potential. With that said> The people that tried to make this a political thing in the reviews>NEED TO SEEK HELP


This that democrat playbook EXPOSED.

If you don't vote democrat then Joe says "you aint black". How long will the simple stay simple?
