I Shot Andy Warhol is a 1996 crime drama film directed by Mary Harron and drawn from Real Life events.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Valerie Solanas (Lili Taylor) is a would-be writer and activist who works as a prostitute, mostly servicing men even though she genuinely hates them. She submits a play entitled Up Your Ass to artist and entrepeneur Andy Warhol (Jared Harris). Warhol and his "factory" can't use the play and don't immediately return it either. Solanas stews over the perceived slight, indulging in conspiracy theories where she's the victim. Part of this is her scapegoating Warhol for a bad contract she's signed with another publisher. As per the title, her actions in response are drastic.The cast beyond Taylor and Harris includes Jill Hennessy as reporter Laura, Martha Plimpton as Valerie's sometime girlfriend, and Stephen Dorff as legendary drag queen and Warhol Superstar Candy Darling.

Captain Ersatz: Yo La Tengo stand in for an unnamed band intended to represent The Velvet Underground. The Velvet Undergroundnote In this case mainly meaning Lou Reed, the band's primary songwriter. John Cale approved of the film and actually composed the score. declined to license their music for this film, worried that it would lionize Valerie Solanas and her actions.

The Grovel: Paul Morrisey falls down and pleads for his life after Valerie goes on her shooting spree. In other contexts he could look like a Dirty Coward, but the film is a realistic account of true events and he truly has no other chance to survive.

Freudian Excuse: Valerie Solanas's background of child sexual abuse is mentioned, and viewers can infer that she was also mentally ill on top of that.
