Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Christine is a 2016 film directed by Antonio Campos and starring two unrelated people named Hall: Rebecca Hall and Michael C. Hall.Christine Chubbuck (Rebecca Hall) is a field reporter at small-time television station WXLT in Sarasota, Florida in 1974. Christine is driven and passionate and cares about her work—which turns out to be a problem. Station manager Michael Nelson (Tracy Letts), desperate to turn around the sagging ratings of the station, is demanding more sensationalistic stories, much to the disgust of Christine, who wants to do more substantive news reporting. This leads to violent arguments with Nelson.Chubbuck has a variety of personal problems as well. A closed-off personality makes it difficult for others to approach her, which is part of the reason why she's still a virgin at age 29. An ovarian cyst is causing her excruciating pain, but may inhibit her ability to have children if she has it removed. And she is in unrequited love with WXLT's handsome, affable anchor George Ryan (Michael C. Hall). Worst of all, she has "moods", namely depression, and is no longer taking her medication. All these issues lead to a moment of crisis that causes Christine to make a tragic decision.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Based on the infamous true story of Christine Chubbuck, a WXLT reporter who committed suicide live on the air on July 15, 1974. | |

Age Lift | |
| Christine (2016) / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: According to contemporary sources, Mike was around Christine's age in real life (actually a few years younger) and Jean middle-aged, whereas in the film it's Mike that's middle-aged and Jean closer to Christine's age. | |

Adaptational Attractiveness | |
| Christine (2016) / int_557838d1 | comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: The real Christine◊, while certainly attractive, wasn't quite on the same level as Rebecca Hall, even with the latter affecting her awkward posture and abrasive manner. | |

Based on a True Story | |
| Christine (2016) / int_a90fff3 | comment |
Based on a True Story: "Based on true events". Christine is shown killing herself during the evening news broadcast. In fact, the real Christine Chubbuck committed suicide during her own mid-morning chat show, Suncoast Digest. Just before the show aired Chubbuck confused the crew by asking for a news digest to read from the anchor desk, instead of going straight to the interview as was regular practice. Her guest was still waiting in the interview set when Chubbuck killed herself after reading eight minutes of news.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |
