(comedy, drama)
For a class project, three self absorbed college students decide to do their project on gossip to track it's growth. But, first they need some gossip so one night at a nightclub, they spot a guy (Jackson) and a girl (Hudson) making out before the girl passes out. Around the campus the girl is known for not giving out. The three decide to use that as their base and mix it into her boyfriend raping her when she was passed out. The gossip gets spread to the girl who only remembers passing out at the club. One of her friends suggest that maybe her boyfriend raped her.

Apologies for that old fashioned joke but it did make me smile and
apologies too that anyone might think it's actually true because I know
fine well from bitter personal experience that idle or malicious Gossip
and two faced chit chat that can affect a life is just as likely to be
started by males as much by females . I guess everyone already knew
that ?
Interesting to note though that women like this film slightly more than
men . I have to confess that I wasn't too keen on it . Now this had
nothing to do with sexism and had everything to do with the way the
story was developed which centres around rumours of a rape and before
you can blink the rumours have spread all over college campus and a
student finds himself facing charges . Other reviewers have rightly
pointed out that the story is entirely dumb so I won't bother
reiterating the points they've raised except to say " What about
forensic evidence ? for a charge to be brought " . I also have a
problem that it's a movie that's entirely made for a teen market which
means the cast is young and good looking and we have to endure the MTV
type of filming which totally negates any type of drama
I viewed Gossip in a classroom setting with 26 college freshmen as a unit
in
a class devoted to transition to college. I was pleasantly surprised at
the
discussion engendered by viewing the film in a classroom setting. The
students responded enthusiastically and thoughtfully to the many ethical
issues presented. I recommend the film for this purpose.
The first 80 minutes or so of this 90 minute suspense thriller reminded me
of some of the earlier films of Brian DePalma. It is nicely shot at an
urban university (NYU?), and the colors and angles add to the introduction
of the main plot device - an "innocent" rumor started as a group project
for
a communications arts class. Notice how many right angles and sharp
points
are present in the party and residential settings. The students felt this
contributed to the intended feeling of edginess engendered by the first 20
minutes.
The first 80 minutes are well-conceived and intricately-plotted. The plot
reveals itself at an excruciatingly pleasurable pace, and a nice twist is
that the character of Derek appears to know no more than we, the audience,
do.
The ending is abrupt and somewhat derivative, but, in post-viewing
discussion, we were able to identify a number of clues to the ending which
the director has sprinkled throughout.
A dark, cine noir feeling to the production results in a film a bit out of
step with the 21st century, but one that should be satisfying to fans of
the
genre.
