SPOILERS
Although I'm not entirely questioning the psychological hoops those in the field of acting have to go through, I do question just how much of this was either a) scripted b) pushed
That is not to say they do not experience struggles of their own when they are playing such a deep, dark role. Add to that this role is true, not made up, has to mess with one's mind even more.
But with re-enactments and the fact that Kate Lyn Sheil is 'auditioning' for a role for a film that doesn't even exist, it's hard to believe anything that is going on. It feels as though those involved are merely trying to drive the point home to the viewers- the same point Christine Chubbuck was trying to make when she attempted suicide on a live news broadcast on July 15, 1974.
We are a society that cares less about the news that matters and more about the news that involves death and gore, even if it doesn't effect anybody but those directly involved.
Ironically, Kate Lyn Sheil proceeds to reenact the shooting, which is filmed and shown to the viewer. But not until she's given a speech of her own about the interest in the gore by the public. Just like Christine Chubbuck did prior to shooting herself.
I understand getting into the character, and making it believable. It just appeared too forced to believe this was all really going on.
