Good gossip is about everybody else.
Gossip, the Davis Guggenheim film, is about both of those good and bad things when three New York journalism students spread a rumour, then track its ever-changing details as a school project. The supposedly harmless information plant gets transformed from asides about a college couple having consenting sex to date rape. So Gossip focuses on the misinformation impact of the gossipers and the gossipees. The subject is timely, too, since date rape is the polarized college debating point on campuses across North America. Those guys would have to play the teachers, not the students these days, so Gossip shows off the Brat Pack 2000.
