#movieandtvchallenge A Movie Based On A True Story: #americansplendor This is actually a mix of both biopic & documentary. It can also be meta because there are a few scenes where the actors hang with the actual person they play in the movie. It's definitely one of the most creative biopics I've seen. It's about Harvey Pekar who became well known for writing about his daily life that was turned into an underground comicbook series called American Splendor. I've read a few of it years ago & it was interesting. Harvey also became well known when he did a few appearances on David Letterman & I've seen them on Youtube. Harvey was an interesting person & this is one of Paul Giamatti's best roles. A very underrated movie that definitely deserves more attention. #harveypekar #paulgiamatti #biopic #comicbookwriter #undergroundcomic #hopedavis #joycebrabner #jamesurbaniak #robertcrumb #davidletterman
