  Shattered Glass Movie Review at Hollywood Video
Shattered Glass may not break any box-office records, but with a stellar cast, tight script, and insightful direction, it is destined to take its place in journalistic, if not cinematic, history as a warning about the dangers of ruthless ambition.
Glass began at the magazine as an intern, a fact-checker who rose to head up the department, which gave him insight into how to circumvent a system where many of the "facts" were merely checked against the writer's notes.
Shattered Glass is framed by a speech that Glass gives to high-school journalism students about his life at The New Republic, a self-aggrandizing oration in which he defines what makes a great editor.

 Shattered Glass
This is eerily similar to Stephen Glass, the subject of Shattered Glass.
Aside from all the ethical ramifications, Shattered Glass is fascinating to watch because while there is little action, the Glass character (portrayed by Hayden Christensen, Attack of the Clones, Life as a House) is a train wreck waiting to happen.
Glass' problems came to a head over a piece entitled "Hack Heaven." In it, he described how a young hacker broke into the website for Jukt Micronics and posted naked pictures of women and the salaries of Jukt executives, only to have Jukt hire him as a security consultant.

 Shattered Glass Review (DVD Movie/Film)
Glass finds himself the champion of his colleagues in the fight against Lane’s perceived lack of leadership, but all the while he scrambles to substantiate the tall stories that he told.
Shattered Glass is a well judged, superbly taut drama that achieves its director’s aim of being the cinematic equivalent of good reporting.
Glass’ rise and fall is the central focus of the film and provides most of the riveting tension, but as the facts become less fragmented the audience is invited to analyse every scene like a proofreader with a red pen.

 Shattered Glass
Meanwhile Glass, a gawky insecure geek, with a penchant for show stopping editorial meetings, gains popularity in the group, winning their hearts and minds with his seemingly endless ability to find and deliver the most consistently clever and entertaining material.
Glass, whom we initially assume to be a low-level fibber, ups the ante to an unbelievable stake, going to great lengths to cover his tracks with elaborate lie after lie, creating fake sources, dummied corporate web sites, phony biz cards and pretty much using every deceptive trick in the book.
Through the film, as the stew with Glass thickens and we see Lane's gradual shift from trust to suspicion to the embarrassingly unthinkable prospect that he (and the magazine) has been duped, his disillusionment and rage are palpable.

 Shattered Glass
Glass went incognito for a few long years, but he's back in the public eye this year, with not only the release of Shattered Glass, but also the publication of a book, appropriately titled The Fabulist, that loosely fictionalizes his exploits.
The suggestion is not just that more rigorous editorial oversight could have caught Glass in his lies before his stories made it to press, but that there's a competitive culture among young reporters that encourages self-promotion and breeds a type of egocentrism that's not just unflattering to the profession, but potentially destructive.
Glass is backed up by his best buddies at the magazine, portrayed by Chloe Sevigny and Melanie Lynskey, who look to him as a role model even as they try to protect him.

The story unfolds as Glass appears to relate his tale of journalistic glory to a class of rapt students, and switches back and forth between his storytelling and Glass' real experiences as his career at The New Republic begins to implode.
Glass describes in the pitch meeting the entire story with all the bells and whistles, right down to the details of a "hacker's convention" that never took place.
Director Billy Ray allows Glass himself, speaking to the classroom, to detail the many stages of edits and fact-checks that a story goes through, to illustrate just how astounding it is that Glass was able to get away with it.

When Shattered Glass was released in 2003 I was fascinated by the subject matter and started reading about it on the Internet.

 SHATTERED GLASS
Shattered opens in May 1998, where Glass (Hayden Christensen, Attack of the Clones) is returning, like a conquering king, to his high school journalism class seven years after his graduation.
Shattered works really well for one reason alone: It manages to sucker-punch the audience (even though they know it's coming) the same way Glass did his readers.
Shattered, financed by Tom Cruise's production company, is the directorial debut of Billy Ray, a screenwriter for truly dumb films like Hart's War, Volcano and Color of Night (the latter of which I sheepishly admit to watching many, many times).

 Stopping Stephen Glass
As a journalism movie, "Shattered Glass" is middle-rank, not up to the standards of "The Insider" or "Live from Baghdad," but better than, say, "I Love Trouble." It is too parochial to find a broad audience and too slight to win any major awards.
THE STEPHEN GLASS of "Shattered Glass" is an effete, unstable sycophant.
But "Shattered Glass" fictionalizes nearly every character outside of Glass, Penenberg, Kelly, and Lane (with the notable exception of Marty Peretz, who is mostly an off-screen presence) and it is here that the movie makes its first wrong turn.

Ray scrupulously reported Shattered Glass, and the result is a movie that is a more or less straight retelling of the Glass affair, framed by Walter Mitty sequences in which Glass' fantasies come to life.
Shattered Glass is the straightest film take on print journalism that I've seen since All the President's Men, and it may become this era's defining movie about journalism.
At its heart, Shattered Glass is a procedural: The middle hour of the film—in which Lane unravels a bogus Glass story—is a journalism show and tell.

By the mid-90s, Glass' articles had turned him into one of the most sought-after young journalists in Washington, but a bizarre chain of events - chronicled in Buzz Bissinger's September, 1998 Vanity Fair article upon which Shattered Glass is based - suddenly stopped his career in its tracks.

 Shattered Glass
Stephen Glass was a 24-year-old reporter who enjoyed a meteoric rise at the political magazine The New Republic in the mid-1990s, until 27 of his 41 published pieces were exposed as partially or totally fraudulent.
Shattered Glass, it occurs to me, has been shepherded into cineplexes by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner's outfit, the same outfit that last year anointed Joe Carnahan's Narc as its indie-scene cause célèbre.
Glass' stories may have been inventions, but then again, everything we hear about them in the movie suggests them as a brand of "journalism" that we'd do just as well without, and the whole point of which is probably to anaesthetize our attention from more important matters.

 Shattered Glass (2003)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
"Shattered Glass" tells the true story of Stephen Glass, a young upstart hotshot investigative journalist who wrote fiction or partial fiction and represented it as fact in the esteemed New Republic magazine and other publications.
The film is a smartly pitched hardcore no frills drama which recounts events leading up to the explosive 1998 scandal created when the magazine went public by exposing itself as the unwitting purveyor of countless fraudulent articles.
Most of the film is set in the offices of TNR magazine and the film is devoid of the usual Hollywood tinsel....no action, violence, sex, thrills, exotic locations, megastars, etc. However, for those into tales of ethics, journalism, and/or aberrant personalities, "Shattered Glass" may well be a spellbinder.

From Glass's ingratiating psychopathology to the anguish of TNR's then-unpopular editor (Peter Sarsgaard) as he discovers the extent of Glass's wrongdoing, Shattered Glass is a riveting, perfectly cast study of ambition gone sour, countered by the nobility of respectable journalists in the wake of a worst-case scenario.
Christensen's portrayal of Glass is convincing enough to paint the man as a real character, but I hope Glass was a better liar in reality than he is in this film, because it left me dumbfounded that anyone would have ever believed a word he said.
Stephen Glass was a pathological liar and a con artist, but far more interesting than Glass are the holes in journalism's fact-checking systems that his success revealed and the willingness of a bunch of the nation's supposedly bright up-and-coming journalists to believe things that were so obviously preposterous.
