Feel free to come and share your own personal insights sometime; the Saturday Night Video and Discussions here in Austin, Texas are a lot of fun and fascinating. (They're free, too.) Here are the questions the group came up with, based on the personal growth themes in the movie:
				
					ÀMERICAN FICTION
				
- How often do I find myself placating others rather than expressing my true thoughts?
 - How have I been audaciously oblivious to others?
 - What's acceptable and not acceptable about my own stories?
 - At what point has acceptance made a difference in my life?
 - How has this movie made me think more deeply about race in America?
 - How has race in America affected me?
 - How much do I stereotype people, and how much do I need to do that?
 - ow much do I believe people are more than their worst deeds?
 - What stories do I tell myself about my life?
 - How do I edit the story of my life to make it more acceptable to others?
 - How have unplanned life events led me to the path I'm on?
 - How have I sold out?
