The World Around Us...

Wow! What can be said about a movie with such a devastating topic. Apparently, from reading some of the comments in the forums, lots. People seem to like to focus on the negatives don't they. They want to zoom right in with their high powered microscopes. They want to pick and pull apart the parts that affected them and they want others to agree with them. I am no different. Sure there was a lot to talk about. Sure you can say that the actors said some things that they might not've, had they thought about things. But we all misspeak. We all open our mouths before we consider all that our words can mean.

This movie has a simple way of shocking. If you're not somewhat experienced in kidnapping movies, this one will make you malfunction inside for a week or two. Why do we make such movies, why do people want to share their stories and "profit" from this horror..? The answer might be easy to overlook.

If you need to reconsider bringing kids into this world, if you need to compare how you spend the little time left in your life... If you need a reason to hug your kids and are struggling to find the love that they need... If you feel like you might be missing something from your life... Watch this movie. If you find that after watching this movie, you don't cherish every minute of your life, you don't remember every moment with your loved ones, you might be more of a monster than Wolfgang's mother.

Should we stop making movies about the horrors of our world, it won't make them stop happening. Should we stop "feeling" and sympathizing and paying real attention to the world around us, it's time for someone to put us in a cage for eight years.

score 10/10
