vanity fair the movie...closer to real life than most movies i've seen...didn't super like it...like who said reality tv was the best? neither formulaic happy nor sad lives displayed-- formulaic sad movies have clear boundaries bc the viewer knows what to feel and what should be felt, the tragedy is poignant, conclusive, full circle...but yeah vanity fair diluted Happily Ever After with inconclusiveness, disconnection and...randomness...
