While I was not a fan of the need to recreate July 15th, I appreciated learning about who she was as a person. To truly remember Christine (or anyone) is not by obsessing over her suicide, but by appreciating her accomplishments, her positive impact on others, the things she loved, and her life legacy.
Christine may not have had a huge impact on journalism but her story being told is making a huge difference in the Mental Health Community. The resurgence of her story, at this point and time, is opening up opportunities for people to talk about Depression, Suicide and other Mental Illnesses. Her story shows us a woman who fought for what she believed in while also suffering from an illness not many understood at the time. Still today people have difficulty understanding it. She fought an amazing fight for 29yrs without proper tools, like DBT/CBT, consistent therapy or better medications. Apparently Christine wanted to make a statement about humanity's love of trauma voyeurism, and she truly held up a mirror to all of society. It took several decades but I believe people are ready to talk about all of these issues. RIP Christine
That ending has always haunted me. Her determined but unemotional movements while that look on her face is almost vengeful, as if this is her revenge on all of us for our desire for violence. She's seems to be saying "all right , you want violence? Ok...I'm going to make you watch this and you will never be able to forget it"
A lot of people in the comments don't seem to understand what exactly this movie is. People are expecting a movie about Christine. But this is *not* a movie about Christine. This is a documentary about how an actor prepares for a role. The movie is quite literally called Kate Plays Christine. It's about Kate playing Christine. Not a movie about Christine herself. Christine merely serves as the MacGuffin (google what a MacGuffin is).
1:40:50 the moment of recreating the infamous footage that might never see the light of day again because her family doesn’t want it to and I don’t blame them. Rest In Peace Christine Chubbuck. You deserved so much better.
This can’t be real. She said she was going to kill herself and brandished a gun then asked to start over several times - no one thought to stop her????
@@lyndawilliams4570 What can't be real? This is a movie about an actress playing Christine. The actress had a hard time getting to the moment and asked to start over several times until she finally had the wherewithal to do the simulation of Christine shooting herself in the head. If you continue watching, you see how they clean the actress up after the shot.
Something tells me the actors speech toward the end was directed towards the rest of humanity.. those of us who let the morbid curiosity get the better of us. So many of us don’t actually want to watch anyone suffer.. our brains are just curious.. and it can interfere with our humanity and sense of morals.. I needed that end speech and I think a lot of other people did too
You all keep saying this is shit. Rebecca Hall is an awesome actor and did a great job in Christine. But you arent getting the point of this lol. She is putting her total self in the mind of Christine Chubbuck. Now I bet you wouldn't have said that if Heath Ledger had filmed himself preparing for the joker in Batman alone in a hotel for a month.
In case nobody noticed, this is a masterpiece. Only someone who went through that process could have made a docuvie/mocumentation(?) like that. On the surface, there was nothing THAT wrong. But when you are depressed, loosing hope again and again and again changes you. It's like a pressurewasher: While from the outside everything looks as usual, the pressure inside becomes more and more. You become someone else. You deform inside out. Why people want to see blood & guts? Short answer: fear of the unknown. The question for me is: Should we remember the dead? Who on earth benefits from that? The deads don't care and the livings only get painful memories.
I appreciate your insightful post. It depicts how depression can affect one's outlook. People who tell them, "Just be happy" or "woe is me" are encouraged to look deeper at how mental health affects people. Mood disorders impact the brain's chemicals. It literally makes it more difficult to feel happy, which makes depression and other mental illnesses so hard to beat. As for your final question, perhaps we should remember the dead because their story still impacts the living? Those who have gone before us are like stones being cast into the water: the stone may sink, never to be seen again, yet their impact causes ripples that are felt by its surroundings. And depending on how big the splash is, those ripples may even carry onto the present day. These ripples may teach us how to live better, wake up to the current state of society, or become tools to help other people. I encourage people to use Christine's story not to romanticize suicide or mental illness, but rather, to celebrate her life and show that there is still much to live for. Thank you for sharing your ideas. They are truly a proactive conversation starter:)
Thank You! You described exactly how I feel. I feel like the most deformed human on earth. I have one last kid left to finish raising and then I’m done. No one understands me or how I feel. I just wasn’t meant for this world.
@@Vanessa-sb6qz I totally hear you. My last one graduates next year. I’ll get them started off with their own lives & be on my way. I also wasn’t meant for this world..I’ve actually used that phrase💙
I really wish we would stop sensationalizing tragedies like this. Yes this movie is about an actress playing a role but that role WAS A REAL HUMAN BEING. She had ideas, dreams, likes and dislikes.. If I were her I would feel so incredible disrespected by this. RIP Christine.
Well.. people need to stop voting DEMOCRAT. The history of sickness in America is funded and created and nourished by Democrat voters and Democrat politicians. It's just a fact the world has seen since 1949
I did NOT like this one at all. That girls acting stunk. About the only thing worth watching in this one was the too brief interviews with people who worked with Christine. This actress with her phony “ I can’t do it. I can’t do it” drove me up the wall. I had to go on Netflix and watch the excellent Christine movie. The one where she could and did do it followed by the reactions of her coworkers and mother. Now THAT was a good BELIEVABLE movie.
@@65motowngirl it’s not healthy to hide your feelings 🤣 But i agree with you on this. The interview with people that actually knew Christine was interesting, but other than that, yeah this stank pretty bad. Rebecca Hall’s version towered over this one.
@65motowngirl Oh yeah after watching this one twice, I didn't like it at all. I liked the interviews with people who knew Christine, but I agree. The other movie was better, and it brought the emotions out of me more because I can relate to her
@@princesskristanthe reason you didn't like this is because you went in expecting the wrong thing. This is a documentary about how an actor prepares for a role. The movie is literally called Kate Plays Christine. It's not about Christine. It's about Kate playing Christine. The movie isn't even real, it's just about her playing her in the fictional film. The other one is a much more traditional and conventional biopic-style narrative.
I personally think this film and the 2016 Biopic both have strengths in terms to the story of Christine herself. The 2016 gives us more or less how the story of Christine played out (with the usual changes), however this one showcases who Christine _was_ as a person, and what could have been her mind set and motives for doing what she did, even if Kate Lyn Sheil herself (at least in this film) struggles to understand why Christine did what she did. Maybe we'll never know why she did what she did. Also in case people feel a bit iffy, I don't genuinely think Sheil thought that low of Christine, I feel that since the documentary focuses on her getting into the "role" of Christine, then she was thinking like Christine, aka looking down at herself.
This is by far one of the absolute stupidest things I have ever heard of existing. What a complete slap in the face when I just got done watching Christine 2016 (not to be confused with the Stephen King classic) ..which has the misfortune of having it's search results mixed in with whatever this is.
It's a documentary about an actor fixing to play a role, kinda similar to if Heath Ledger had of filmed himself alone for a month in a hotel room before playing the joker in batman. Practice.
Tell me you don't understand suicide without telling me you don't understand suicide..."...a total waste of one good bullet...a waste of an efternoon...: SMH. May you never know the hell that you have to be in in order to contemplate or attempt suicide.
"Respectfully traumatic" is about all I got... You'll see how many docs of how an actor "becomes" a character...but how many will take this type of walk? This is so damn good...
Not really she went unconscious pretty fast 💨 like split second fast. She didn’t die instantly but she wasn’t aware of what was good on. The bullet tore through her 🧠 😢
Not really. She did exactly what the police officer told her and she immediately went unconscious if not already dead we don't know. No pain just the mental anguish she felt before she died.
@@ckotcher1 yeah that's a point I neglected to mention in further detail. The method and technique she used from the officers advice is 100% effective in the sense that when you do take the shot and somehow manage to not immediately die right then the bullet gets lodged inside of the brain and even if the rest of your body still works like heartbeat you technically aren't clinically dead but you sure are brain dead. So basically there was no way to bring her back even if her heart was still beating because you have a bullet in the middle of your brain and no way to surgically remove it without killing the patient. And after that point the brain isn't active anymore and the body shuts down soon after. Pretty morbid to think about but interesting to see how the human body works nonetheless.
The footage of chubbuck should be in the film registry archives because sadly enough to say it is historical just like the kennedy assassination, but the footage should never be seen.
@joeybaseball7352 No, I'm absolutely not comparing her to jfk, but what I'm saying is that the footage is historical like the zuperder film, but the zuperder is more important to history.
@@frankchukwumah6302her death is certainly an interesting footnote in history, simply because she was the first person to do it on television. But the world didn't change afterwards. And it really wasn't all that remarkable. She was depressed, and took her life. It's not an uncommon situation. She just happened to broadcast it. But nowadays unfortunately it's not uncommon for people to livestream their deaths. But the ripple effects from JFK's assassination changed the world immediately. The ripple effects of JFK's & RFK's assassinations are still felt to this day. There are more conspiracies about JFK's assassination than there are of any person in history. The public as a whole still doesn't believe the findings of the Warren Commission Report. And nobody believes that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone shooter.
I can’t see her as Christine. I saw the other movie. That actress was amazing. I didn’t know there was another movie about Christine. Why bother? This girl doesn’t have the right look or personality.
This is a movie about how an actor prepares for a role. They were never going to make that movie. They could've picked someone more interesting than Kate Lyn Sheil though.
This film was weird. One minute it's a documentary detective story the next minute it's a movie, and for the record I don't see the point in making this film.
The point is that it's a movie about how an actor prepares for a role in a film. The research they do, and how the study their subject. It's not a movie about Christine. It's a movie about Kate Playing Christine. Hence why it's called Kate Plays Christine. I don't understand how that's hard for you to comprehend. It doesn't matter the topic. This is how all actors (who care about thier craft) prepare for their roles.
@@frankchukwumah6302they didn't pick the wrong topic. They picked the wrong person to follow. Kate Lyn Sheil is very boring, and lifeless. I feel it would've been a much better final product had they picked someone with a pulse.
No, I can’t blame him. There’s no need to show the real footage of his sister, Christine ending her life on national TV. I think it’s disrespectful for her family, specially her brother had to re-live that awful pain. Witness what happened to his sister and probably seen what she did on TV.
I actually came upon this film in 2016 because I’ve always followed Kate Lyn Shiels work and her presence in the low budget world and I really enjoyed that aspect of it showing her personal acting processes, however this ultimately was both insulting to her AND Christine chubbuck lol
Well, this is the "real movie" where her acting was supposed to be. It is supposed to accompany the documentary, like when you watch a documentary about a crime and they put on dramatizations, well, the same thing.
a very very emotional film, its very accerted that improved part before the shor, human and deep, for some parts its being weird, but real a very excellent experience.
I don't understand the point of this. There was no movie connected to this as far as know. It is completely separate from the movie "Christine" which also came out in 2016. Was she one of the people who auditioned for the part and so she made this documentary after not getting it? The movie was not one you can easily call "good" because of the subject matter. And it was largely fictional up until the suicide. However, it seems everyone in this documentary is acting. Of course, younger people had not heard of her! It happened in 1974! They weren't even a glint in their parents' eyes. While you'd think such a thing would be remembered for a long time people tend to only care about what's current. Christine Chubbuck would have turned 80 in 2024. This summer will mark 50 years since her death. Sadly, those who know of her outside of her family only know about her because of the way she died.
Both of those movies were produced independently of each other. It wasn't until Sundance that they discovered that there was another movie based on the same exact thing. But one is a documentary about what an actor goes through to prepare for a role. The other is a traditional biopic narrative of her life.
Ya THINK????? Very sad. She was clueless about the REAL future. God has said in Revelation 10:6 "......there will be no delay any longer." I'm hanging in there. There IS hope. NO one will be unloved. You can be assured of that!! Rev. 10:6 is concerning the events that are happening in the world today. MANY things that are scaring and confusing most people.
Feminist Ideology destroyed many women in the 1970's telling them they did not need men and their careers were more important than getting married and raising a family. Today, there are millions of homeless women living in shelters as a consequence of that belief. There will be many more homeless women as today's generation gets old and winds up alone with no men or family in their lives.
what possible reason was she so unhappy and alone??? She was gorgeous, apparently capable of self expression, and a success in a position that maybe one out of 1000 can even be INTERVIEWED for!! Was she on dope? if she was mentally ill, working her job in a high exposure broadcast medium she obviously didn't show it. Did she maybe have physiological problems? the kind that have symptoms similar to mental issues? Was she abused? did she have a Mr Goodbar secret life? Or maybe like George Saunders, she was just bored! WHAT???
There isn't a definitive answer on why people do what they do. Even the most successful people on the outside appear successful from other peoples perspectives. But on the inside Depression is an unending pain and if anyone that doesn't have it I can only explain it like this. Imagine you're drowning in the ocean yet there are millions of people around you aswell that aren't drowning and they can't hear you screaming out for help because they just see you swimming when in reality you're being swallowed up by something only you know about. That is the best description of depression. On the outside she was beautiful and successful in other peoples eyes but in reality she was fighting just to get up everyday and find a reason to live. This can be brought about through childhood trauma and mental and/or physical abuse along with many many other things that I can't list on here otherwise we'd be here all day. Every single person's individual pain is unique and we can't definitely put an answer to it. She wasn't doped up on anything her pain was just too great for her to fight anymore. She tried her absolute best but she saw that the only way to solve it was to check out.
So many people walking around you would never think would do it but sad thing is today teenagers hell children are doing it every day for reasons we may or may not completely understand but fact is it's happening she discussed it w family supposedly multiple times even attempted it before we may never know every single detail of her life from childhood to the end to cause her to do it but like I said mental health , depression and things are not always seen by people because they refuse to see reality maybe don't really care n we can become self consumed so much we don't realize maybe we could be more sensitive to each other and really listen just my opinion but at the same time it is not the most popular thing to be known as mentally ill so some try to hide it and hope it will change but sadly In that case it ends up badly people try n try over n over again and fail so much or get let go of from jobs for something's inside the can't help just another reason why because that gets old starting over n over again for some even the beginning and that can be a horrible feeling some are stronger than others and thank God don't ever do anything like that but a lot just are really not rich poor young old it don't discriminate so the best thing is to learn to listen and maybe we all could care more about each other family friends or a complete stranger I think that's what is lacking in the world today in my opinion
@@definitelyjustcj4148 People do what they do because it puts them to an advantage. If suicide is the choice, then something in life was too pressing to deal with. Again with all the accomplishments in life to get to the unique and hard to find status she had, its obvious approaching and overcoming hurdles wasn't new to her. something out of her control radically changed her life for the bad; changes such as financial problems, a sour relationship, or maybe a life threatening disease. People rarely become successful AND self-destructive!!!
I just read that this is a documentary about a girl preparing for portraying Christine chubbuck in a fictional film. I gather that she believed she was preparing for a role but it was a documentary about how actors prepare for a role.
And they achieved in picking the most boring subject possible. Out of all the actress they could've picked to follow around, they chose Kate Lyn Sheil? She's so boring, sheep count her to go to sleep.
While I was not a fan of the need to recreate July 15th, I appreciated learning about who she was as a person.

Was there ever supposed to be a movie? Because they did one starring Rebecca Hall.
Kate Plays Christine…. Badly.
I actually came upon this film in 2016 because I’ve always followed Kate Lyn Shiels work and her presence in the low budget world and I really enjoyed that aspect of it showing her personal acting processes, however this ultimately was both insulting to her AND Christine chubbuck lol
Did Christine really have an autobiography at 15
REST IN PEACE CHUBBUCK
a movie about a movie about a real life story... isnt that a bit meta?
This is a documentary about how an actor prepares for a role.
That's not it at all lol.
did Kate know she wasn't filming for a real movie when this was made?
Lol i know right? Is she aware there’s also a movie called “Christine” about this?
Well, this is the "real movie" where her acting was supposed to be. It is supposed to accompany the documentary, like when you watch a documentary about a crime and they put on dramatizations, well, the same thing.
If she knows it’s a documentary it’s ok acting but yk
It's a doco on training and preparing to act numbnuts. Know anything about it lol.
Finally someone who gets what s going on 🤦😂
a very very emotional film, its very accerted that improved part before the shor, human and deep, for some parts its being weird, but real a very excellent experience.
I don't understand the point of this. There was no movie connected to this as far as know. It is completely separate from the movie "Christine" which also came out in 2016. Was she one of the people who auditioned for the part and so she made this documentary after not getting it?
The movie was not one you can easily call "good" because of the subject matter. And it was largely fictional up until the suicide. However, it seems everyone in this documentary is acting.
Of course, younger people had not heard of her! It happened in 1974! They weren't even a glint in their parents' eyes. While you'd think such a thing would be remembered for a long time people tend to only care about what's current.
Christine Chubbuck would have turned 80 in 2024. This summer will mark 50 years since her death. Sadly, those who know of her outside of her family only know about her because of the way she died.
The "movie" she is apart of if fictional. She is playing a fictional character in the real world for the purpose of this movies story.
Both of those movies were produced independently of each other. It wasn't until Sundance that they discovered that there was another movie based on the same exact thing. But one is a documentary about what an actor goes through to prepare for a role. The other is a traditional biopic narrative of her life.
Are you an actor ?
I just started watching this and I'm already bored...Christine was so much better.
Kyle brought me here. Thanks, Kyle.
Kyle who?
@@Mirador2 Kyle Kallgren. He mentioned this movie in his review of Network
Christine needed a man in her life, badly.
Ya THINK????? Very sad. She was clueless about the REAL future. God has said in Revelation 10:6 "......there will be no delay any longer." I'm hanging in there. There IS hope. NO one will be unloved. You can be assured of that!! Rev. 10:6 is concerning the events that are happening in the world today. MANY things that are scaring and confusing most people.
Feminist Ideology destroyed many women in the 1970's telling them they did not need men and their careers were more important than getting married and raising a family. Today, there are millions of homeless women living in shelters as a consequence of that belief. There will be many more homeless women as today's generation gets old and winds up alone with no men or family in their lives.
what possible reason was she so unhappy and alone??? She was gorgeous, apparently capable of self expression, and a success in a position that maybe one out of 1000 can even be INTERVIEWED for!! Was she on dope? if she was mentally ill, working her job in a high exposure broadcast medium she obviously didn't show it. Did she maybe have physiological problems? the kind that have symptoms similar to mental issues? Was she abused? did she have a Mr Goodbar secret life? Or maybe like George Saunders, she was just bored! WHAT???
There isn't a definitive answer on why people do what they do. Even the most successful people on the outside appear successful from other peoples perspectives. But on the inside Depression is an unending pain and if anyone that doesn't have it I can only explain it like this. Imagine you're drowning in the ocean yet there are millions of people around you aswell that aren't drowning and they can't hear you screaming out for help because they just see you swimming when in reality you're being swallowed up by something only you know about. That is the best description of depression. On the outside she was beautiful and successful in other peoples eyes but in reality she was fighting just to get up everyday and find a reason to live. This can be brought about through childhood trauma and mental and/or physical abuse along with many many other things that I can't list on here otherwise we'd be here all day. Every single person's individual pain is unique and we can't definitely put an answer to it. She wasn't doped up on anything her pain was just too great for her to fight anymore. She tried her absolute best but she saw that the only way to solve it was to check out.
If you’ve never suffered with mental health issues, don’t try to rack your brain understanding it. You never will
So many people walking around you would never think would do it but sad thing is today teenagers hell children are doing it every day for reasons we may or may not completely understand but fact is it's happening she discussed it w family supposedly multiple times even attempted it before we may never know every single detail of her life from childhood to the end to cause her to do it but like I said mental health , depression and things are not always seen by people because they refuse to see reality maybe don't really care n we can become self consumed so much we don't realize maybe we could be more sensitive to each other and really listen just my opinion but at the same time it is not the most popular thing to be known as mentally ill so some try to hide it and hope it will change but sadly In that case it ends up badly people try n try over n over again and fail so much or get let go of from jobs for something's inside the can't help just another reason why because that gets old starting over n over again for some even the beginning and that can be a horrible feeling some are stronger than others and thank God don't ever do anything like that but a lot just are really not rich poor young old it don't discriminate so the best thing is to learn to listen and maybe we all could care more about each other family friends or a complete stranger I think that's what is lacking in the world today in my opinion
She had depression.
@@definitelyjustcj4148 People do what they do because it puts them to an advantage. If suicide is the choice, then something in life was too pressing to deal with. Again with all the accomplishments in life to get to the unique and hard to find status she had, its obvious approaching and overcoming hurdles wasn't new to her. something out of her control radically changed her life for the bad; changes such as financial problems, a sour relationship, or maybe a life threatening disease. People rarely become successful AND self-destructive!!!
I just read that this is a documentary about a girl preparing for portraying Christine chubbuck in a fictional film. I gather that she believed she was preparing for a role but it was a documentary about how actors prepare for a role.
And they achieved in picking the most boring subject possible. Out of all the actress they could've picked to follow around, they chose Kate Lyn Sheil? She's so boring, sheep count her to go to sleep.
She doesnt look nothing like her
