Shortcut to Happiness (A Review, Recap, and Detailing the Characters)
The moral implications of a movie like "Shortcut to Happiness" are not lost on me. I am someone who writes (not a writer, not yet anyway, see movie for relevant quote), and like any artist worth their salt – am well aware of the pitfalls of 'selling your soul to the devil'.
It means to; sacrifice substance for style, quality for quantity, and to prize mainstream success above all else. Which is one of the gravest errors you can make as a writer – this film's execution accomplishes the conveyance of the theme of humility - very well.
