Get real, folks

Page 3 doesn't come across as an intense, thought provoking movie. But somehow, maybe just for a few moments as you leave the movie hall, it does make you wonder about something. It's a stinging diatribe against the lifestyles of the rich & the famous and since my experience with people in that bracket is next to nothing, for me the picture raises bigger and conflicting questions. Is what is depicted in the movie just too real or too exaggerated? And is there even a difference between the two? Have we become so used to being content with the rosy picture that we choose to disregard reality as an exaggeration? The movie stops short of being cynical, but isn't candyfloss either. If it is indeed a result of the director's far fetched imagination, then it is much too unfair to the people it talks about. However, from my impression of page three celebs, I am inclined to believe otherwise.
