SHATTERED GLASS

SHATTERED GLASS

This film tells the true story of the journalist Stephen Glass, who rose to meteoric heights as a young writer in his 20s, becoming a staff writer at "The New Republic" for three years, where 27 of his 41 published stories were either partially or completely made up. Looking for a short cut to fame, Glass concocted sources, quotes and even entire stories, but his deception did not go unnoticed forever, and eventually, those events stopped his career.

The film is an brilliant film which recounts the events that exploited the scandal of the magazine in which Stephen Glass published stories partially or completely made up. It’s developed the most of the time in the TNR offices. Although it’s a movie that talks about some complicated topics like rupture of ethics and the anxious of power that could fall into a “career mutilation” It’s interesting because it has a lot of exotic places, no violence, thrills, etc… but the most interesting is that it makes us thing about the importance of doing things well because if we don’t we can lose our lives as they are.
