"I found it a great performance by Nicholson and a great study of a man entering retirement."A great study of a man entering retirement is not the same thing as writing a that it is "real life" anymore than suggesting that because Romeo and Juliet is a great study of love means that it is real life. Romeo and Juliet is a great study of love, but because the statement as applied to the latter is true, it does not necessary follow that the statement implies that the story is necessarily reflective of a real event, or real persons, or real life.
You implied a meaning where none was necessarily intended, and therefore it was appropriate for me to use the same analysis as applied to Love Me if You Dare. If you can construe a such a meaning to About Schmidt, and you did not suggest that such was not the intent of the film maker, then shoot down it as not being "real life", then it would hypocritical not to construe the same meaning to Love, given that we do not know the intent of the film maker.
Otherwise, there must be some unstated reason why you would infer such an intent in About Schmidt where you would not in "Love." I postit the reason is that one is French, and one is American.
