Meanwhile, privacy is deciding to keep something to yourself for the sake of protection. Secrecy is when you are withholding information that you know can cause harm and will come with consequences. By depicting that there’s a fine line between secrecy and privacy, that insecurities can damage relationships, especially with today’s obsession with social media, and how reality TV manipulates its audiences through pain and turmoil, Little Black Book is a romantic comedy that is more relevant today.ĭirector Nick Hurran emphasizes how there is a thin line between secrecy and privacy in relationships. And with social media being a major factor in our world today, I find the film has more in common with modern audiences. However, I feel the film does have a point or two regarding deception around relationships. Upon its release, the film received negative reviews due to its poor script and how problematic Stacy Holt is, despite Brittnay Murphy delivering a good performance. By using her journalistic skills incredibly irresponsibly, she interviews his exes under the assumption they are being interviewed to appear on television and finds out more than what she would like to know. This triggers Stacy’s insecurities and sends her down a rabbit hole to discover the truth. However, he tells her that he isn’t open to talking about his past relationships and doesn’t like to bring girls home to meet his folks. Late actress Brittany Murphy plays Stacy Holt, a vibrant young woman who begins a career in broadcast journalism and is in a long-term relationship with Derek (played by Ron Livingston), who at first appears to be a great boyfriend. Ironically, it’s also similar to the plotline of the romantic comedy film Little Black Book (2004). In hindsight, you realize finding out the truth, as ugly as it is, eventually does set you free since deep down you probably knew all along that the person you thought was going to be your forever is not your forever person. It’s a story many people are familiar with, where their dreams of a happily ever after are cut short. Not only that, but you found out about it by coming across inappropriate text messages on your person’s cellphone. Somebody who you thought would be “your forever.” The next day, you learn that your significant other is seeking attention from someone else. One day, you are planning to marry someone you love. It’s not a fun place to find yourself in. To be blunt, being cheated on, manipulated, or just flat-out deceived in a relationship sucks. “Omissions are betrayals” – Barbra Cambell-Done (played by Holly Hunter in Little Black Book)
