      Terrific movie for the reasons you say. But as I recall it doesn't really convey how a big part of Glass' scam was he played to Peretz's racism (as in the infamous immigrant taxi story).

          It gets close. Peretz doesn't come off well.

          It shows the fucked up power dynamics of the office very well, yes. Part of its strength.

          The movie seems to have glossed over a LOT to make a nice and tidy story about how Chuck Lane saved the day. And I don’t really know much about him, but his work never struck me as particularly intelligent, either at TNR or since. And Kelly’s pre-Iraq ear shit was psychopathic.

          TNR, and I'll ask you to forgive me, was a massive force for harm for a very long time. Glass was a flashy but minor part of that. And most of the people who did most of the harm are still invitited to the right kinds of cocktail parties.

          Yes because it’s a movie, not a documentary. It doesn’t have to do everything.

          I think it kinda downplays the viciousness with which Michael Kelly defended Glass.
