Wait what scene was that? I’m misremembering what that is rn

even if he disagrees man. at times in this movie THE USE OF LIGHTING, camera work, music and writing chris hansen is displayed is creepy.

in the police station call

Creepy yes...a creep or a pedo himself no

there are moments where they make Chris Hansens face pure darkness same as obsession but y'all are acting like a reach the goal of those moments was display him as creepy or losing some of his humanity. Throughotu the movie there were moments where he looked like he lost some of his humanity in the pursuit of journalism

You talking about when he tells him to mention his cock? Wasn’t the point of the phone call to get the DA to incriminate himself and they wanted to speed up the convo rather than talk about musicals or something else happened?

I dont think a pedo. But as someone who doesnt care about decoys or victims of sexual abuse at all ? yes

You said he was a CREEP. That is not the same thing as CREEPY. You insinuated that there was predatory sexual energy between Hansen and Dan

Yes lol he points because they were making small talk and he was directing Dan to make it about s***to incriminate and tempt the guy to visit him which Dan does with "i get erections really easily"

Correct but the central conceit of the entire movie being multiple fictionalized parts from , it being moved to prime time to that, to cheating scandal didnt happen after

how can it not be viewed as construction of a narrative with a clear goal about someones character ?

genuine question

It presents him as flawed, not evil

He cared...he says as much to the producer when he brings up that if she had children she'd understand or feel differently

he was a creep in the movie not a pedophile but a creep yes

there is no indication he truly cares about victims of sexual abuse at all. within the entire run of the movie it makes it seem like he is more focused on personal gain from awards, accolades, primetime , ratings. He never meets with victims. Real victims are never explored which he did countless times on dateline nbc and helped charities that help those in need.

again from having children angle which centers on the self. that scene was the closest glimmer but largely no.

There are numerous scenes in the movie explaining how and why he cares so much about catching people that prey upon kids man

The whole story about the monster in the cave was him caring and it haunts him which is why he sees the monster at the end too

!!!

It just also shows the lines get blurred when ratings and entertainment value get involved

brother the story he did in india was about slave labor not mass murder of kids in india

changign so many details becomes intellectually dishonest

the show wasnt moved to primetime because of the show the show was always on primetime and never competing with lost

there are so many details changed in this where even for a biopic its a bit much

Which is why as you said its not a biopic lol thriller/satire

but the ratings were never the focus they were and again

fine you are criticizing chris hansen for that

can you explain then why the person who actually handled ratings and pushing sensationalism is in the movie playing himself throwing chris hansen under the bus in a movie about him?

you dont in anyway think thats a conflict of interest?

Honestly I wanna watch the movie again to dive deeper into it. But that specific scene, yeah they gave Chris some mannerisms that made him seem off beat or kinda awkward. But I didn’t view the phone call cock thing as Chris being a perv and getting turned on? (I’m not sure if that’s the debate) I just think he was impatient and really eager to catch this whale.

I think the true debate should be, was Chris actually all about catching pedos or did he care more about his ratings. To me that’s a nuanced question cus both can be true, but getting success over men being pedos is also a very gray questionable area. Cus you’re profiting off others being some of the worst people on earth

the nbc executive who clearly doesnt like chris hansen or hold him to blame for why he himself left nbc is in the movie PLAYING HIS F***ING SELF

ARE YALL DUMB

THE NBC EXECUTIVE THAT SENSATIONALIZED TO CATCH A PREDATOR IS IN THE F***ING MOVIE PLAYING HISMELF AND GETTING PAID FOR IT

and yall like "well chris hansen "

brother why cast the nbc executive as himself.

No we are not dumb though I didnt know dude was playing himself bc I didnt read too much into it

You seem to understand the film isnt a biopic yet are expecting it to be factual and not play around with some of the timeline of events to fit their narrative which they do with a lot of those kind of films
