Anyone had the courage, the stamina, the patience to watch this excellent Series based on a true story?
This is no John Wick type of chapters. To the exact contrary; if you can make it past the first two episodes bravo. There are eight episodes...six and half hours.
It doesn't grab you like 'Making a Murderer' but the impact is nonetheless a universal major issue on how victims are treated. It's deep human drama @ the very core of our flawed culture. Essential issue to deal with, from all people of our society, all venues, all type of work, it's an everyone's affair, a learning problem, a huge learning problem with our society...yesterday and even more today.
If you put yourself in Marie's shoes you will understand better what it is to stand on the edge of a bridge and looking down @ a tumultuous river running underneath. She stopped short of jumping; others didn't. Why others jumped; because we didn't pay attention, because we made them feel like they are the criminals, because we asked them to relieve their nightmares over and over and over. Once is enough, then you can pass along the first testimony on paper to others. Why they don't do that...it beats me that they have to continually beat the victims.
We have some real human acting here...nothing fancy and flamboyant, just calm, composed and to the point. There's no CGI Marvel stuff, the picture is bland, the mood depressing, the patience rewarding.
That's the key word...patience. The reward is a deeper understanding of human nature @ its worst and the people doing their jobs (most don't, they work for paychecks), that education fail to teach us...the value of humans over the values of our jobs. The two woman detectives they got things right...that's what is needed in our uneducated society. It's much easier to think of our own families than the overall family.
This is real stuff, not some Mickey mouse Hollywood movie. This is food for the knowledge of human soul, not the video games with tanks, grenades, laser guns, machine robots of war and destruction.
There's no rating for advanced education, for understanding what real human values are over jobs and money.
Rape, it's a social disease in not only the victim's perspective but the double raping by the cops, by the system, by the bullying, by the disdain of a higher education. Rape of women, of men, of forests, of air, of our society. We are becoming dysfunctional in a dysfunctional world all around us; it makes us blind and like robots without z heart and soul...we are just doing our jobs of collecting paychecks.
Unbelievable, today in 2019 with the Epstein's associates of this world ...
And we protect them, and victimize the victims more and more non-stop.
The rapist in Unbelievable gets few hundred years in jail @ our expenses...with meals, a bed, a toilet, shower, TV, ...all paid with our taxes. But it's not his story, it's Marie's story, it's the victim's story, it's our society's story.
We need a better human education ... a better respect, deeper understanding, a better people in a better world.
