The Film Called “Story Telling Movie”

The Story telling movie is a film about the ups and down of life in the Suburbs. This is from the darkened mind of Todd Solondz and is filled with plenty of twist and turns and dark comedic event. The narrative takes a look not in front of the scenes but behind the scenes and is done in a delightfully eccentric manner that will most certainly have both the critics and the fans lining up to see this one.

Tom Solondz made two earlier films each meeting with moderate success in the theater and home DVD sections. The first was the 1966 classic Welcome to the Doll House and the other being happiness in 1998. The best way in which to describe the movie that is called Storytelling is by breaking down the cast of characters and the story lines. One word of warning there is two completely different stories contained within this one movie so do try to bear with us as we take you on the world’s fastest review of Storytelling.

The cast of characters includes; Selma Blair, Robert wisdom, Mark Webber, Lupe Antiheros and Jonathan Osier.

Selma Blair is a female college student who is enrolled in a course about fiction writing. The professor is a Pulitzer Award winning black man by the name of Dr. Wisdom, fitting. As the story winds its way through the halls of this college campus and into the lecture halls of the sometimes over-critiquing professor strange twist starts to show their ugly sides.

The important fact to recall when watching this movie is that there are two independent but intertwined movie scores in the movie Storytelling. The first is named fiction and involves the college student and her eccentric professor and their time on campus. The second story is referred to as non-fiction and rightly so as this story deals with at least half-truths and commonalities buried within the characters subplots.

There is a favorite character of many of the individuals that get to watch storytelling. That character is referred to as Scooby. This pot-smoking narcissistic college senior has his sights on one thing and one thing only, becoming famous by proxy alone. The absurdity of this type of thinking is what Scooby is well-known for and will be the start to a series of bad events and unsightly turns in the road. In the end Storytelling has us spinning in one direction then thrust us back into another only to spin us around once more. That is the beauty of a great movie, keeping you on the edge of your seat and guessing as to what is really happening in the story.
