The Raymonds are still bitter that they weren’t given proper credit for effectively creating reality TV, and Gilbert seems crushed by the knowledge that he did. Just watched Cinema Verite. Im completely bewildered how--after the horrible example of An American Family from 1973--ANYONE still wants to be in a reality television show. It just seems obvious that being on camera during your most private moments would put an incredible strain on your relationships. It was a good movie, but a terrible story made even more tragic by the fact that so few people seem to have learned anything from it.
