Tape - 7

This another film directed by Richard Linklater (This will be my last in my delving back into his filmmaking history), but the script was written by Stephen Belber (also wrote The Larmamie Project). The whole film takes place in a hotel room with three actors. The story and dialogue is amazing. It brings up issues of trust, friendship, blackmail, and ultimately is about how we perceive events and how we understand how others perceive and remember things. The acting is good, and the story takes many interesting turns that are both funny and serious. I think that it is a good film to help the audience understand their own perceptions and what that means for moral meaning--the everyday decisions that we make and the regrets and forgiveness that we look back on in our past.
