Finally saw "Shame" today. Fantastic film. However, I had been mislead by critics and friends. I had been lead to believe that it was the morose tale of a deeply disturbed loner whose traumatic upbringing lead him into an obsessive life of meaningless and degrading sexual encounters which merely postpone his self-loathing, eventually leaving him with even less of a soul than he already had. 
What I actually saw was an inspiring film about the most awesome dude ever living a kick-ass life on the singles scene in NYC. Finally, a relatable male role model for my generation.
Stay frosty, Magneto. You are my co-pilot.
