A beautiful Farce

Rating: Null/10 (16 March 2002)

This really is a great movie. I came out of the theater with chills. IF it were fiction - it'd be a 9 of 10.
But it is not fiction. Its a biography. A & E's Biography is 100% better at portraying the truth than Ron Howard is. Read Nasar's book. It is a tough read (she's an economist) but the details are all there. After reading the book I thought back to the movie and wondered how the heck Howard missed so much in such a long movie.
I live in Princeton and have often seen John Jr. walking from the University. I was rooting for the Oscar here until I read the book. Based on the huge discrepancies, I hope Ron loses.
Skip the film and read the truth.
