QUESTIONS ON HIGH FIDELITY

1. WHAT IS THE MOVIE ABOUT

High fidelity is about a man named Rob Gordon who owns a record store, who is unsuccessful, refusing to make a change in his life and has many failed past relatioships. Due to his latest breakup with his most current girlfriend, he went searching for answers by finding each of his ex girlfriends and asking why they left him. He developed and changed towards the end of the story.

2. HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM THE COMMON FICTION?

Other comon fiction usually stereotypes or portays' the guy being the perfect, responsible, romantic character but in this movie Rob was the total opposite. He was somehow seen as a loser, unable to handle women, has an unsuccessful job and is far from being a romantic.

Another difference is that the movie is mostly based on flashbacks. The story is told backwards. It starts with the breakup itself and throughout the story the viewers only learn how that came to be. Speaking of breakups, the movie is more focused on the breakups and how he endured it, rather than the story of his happiness.

3. WHO'S YOUR FAVOURITE CHARACTER?AND WHY?

Rob is my personal favourite character. He does portray many men out there. His character is so honest, real and relatable to the situation with men in real life. In my opinion the part where he is clueless with what he did wrong is the perfect touch of a typical of man. They always seemed oblivous with the situation they are in. Another perfect touch to the story is the reason why Laura left him in the first place. He was unable to change. Again, this does relate to the real scenario of many men out there. His life was stagnant especially in terms of his job which he never changed. He is also oblivious of the fact that the record store is not making much money.

4. PROVIDE AN ALTERNATE ENDING

Rob decides not to get back with Laura. Rob finally sold the record store and is making alot of money with a new job. He has turned over a new leaf. By then all his ex-girlfriends come looking for him asking for another try at their relationship but he politely rejects them all. He finally meets someone who accepts him just the way he is. They both fall in love and got married. Laura regretted breaking up with Rob and is unhappy with Ian.
