We are republishing the piece as the film hits theaters this weekend.

Why tell a story thats already been told before?

But perspective is everything, and often taken for granted when a ripped-from-the-headlines adaptation is successful.The People vs. O.J.

It isnt long before the film seems to lose any perspective at all.

If we the audience didnt know better, wed be rooting for their meet cute.

But we arent seeing this story from his perspective, so what is the friction of this scene?

If thats the mark of a job well done, why not just make a documentary from that footage?

But its not much of a movie, either.
