| The Laramie Project is a play by Moises Kaufman, collected from Wyoming interviews, about the reaction to the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, who was beaten & left to die in Laramie, Wyoming because he was gay. It was made into a 2002 film of the same name, which starred Christina Ricci, Steve Buscemi, Kathy Bates, Laura Linney, Summer Phoenix, Joshua Jackson, Clea Duvall & Janeane Garofalo. |
Although there where a few welknown actors in the film they played their roles honestly & with deep sincerity, so that know one part would over shadow the true meaning of the film.
The intergration of the thoughts of both the people of Larmie & those of the theater company were hightened by the use of news reels & programmes of the time, to show how it had affected the hole of American, enforcing to the viewer just had real the insodent was & how recent it sill is.
This is not just a film, in my opinion, but a look at how society is changed by the simple acts of the few, & yet still not enough to ease a nation.
