I mean I get the movie is a dark comedy and I get that to catch a predator at times made jokes. This like some episodes of law and order svu made some things funny that really didnt need to be funny. To the point it undercut the message itself.

Pattinson wasnt the best performance to me in this it was skylar.

why did i think this was the Kendrick/Palestine thread based off the last few pages

he is def crazy tho..

he also didn't like that they tried to paint the predators in a more sympathetic light by giving them the chance to explain their actions?? idk what he could mean by this without watching the movie so im gonna put spoiler tags on that

well what does chris hansen feel about palestine?

I woudltn even call it a dark comedy. sure theres a couple chuckles but not really any more than any other drama

yeah idk i thought that was just the format of the confrontations of the actual NBC show, unless he means something different

Yeah they made him a lot more unhinged than was needed for the story. To be clear not evil. But crazy yes. Which makes him look like a human being you would not want to be around. A human being that shouldnt be able to see his own kids. A human being that his wife should leave him . A human being that doesnt care about the decoys. A human being that arguably doesnt even care about the victims fully. Yes he mentions he has kids and jokes about lost but it paints it as if its entirely self serving down to even the origin being winning an emmy.Changing even the story of what he won his first emmy for

His emmy for to catch a predator he didnt even attend the awards. If you watched this movie you would think he went up there and gave a Ye like speech.

His interviews from the real time this occured he wasnt zany over the top. he was entirely humble and always has thnaked his team. Again the person that got him so close with law enforcement and perverted justice is in the movie playing themselves

Because the same users are in both doing the same trolling while avoiding the thread topic

thats just what people do when confronted

this isnt a spoiler but to catch a predator the tv show he always did ask what are you doing here. The Rabbi scene he really does say "what gives you the right"

the issue is however the movie does embellish chat logs where at times the decoys are suggesting the sexual action when in reality that did not happen

One key one in the movie being the decoy saying 'we could take a shower"

that didnt happen in reality because it would and is considered clear entrapment. The predators in real life are the ones who suggested the sexual actions.

Yall let dune trick yall

My issue is in showing predators cry throughout the whole movie and then reflecting on we only see Chris Hansen cry when his whale commits suicide you paint it as that is all he truly cared about. We dont see him cry at possibly losing his family. At the weight of talking to predator to predator. We only truly see him most distressed by cheating scandal getting out. conradt suicide because he knows it could lead to the end of the show.

We dont see chris hansen humanity and how a human processes it throughout most of the movie. we dont see victims react to it and the human presented in the darkest lighting of the creepiest or damn near is the man on the plane saying we should bleed em kill them and that makes Chris Hansen uncomfortable.

the predators he can repeat the chat logs all day and not feel disturbed he isnt messing up the words he isnt nervous he is absolutely calm but the violence of killing a pedophile he is nervous and disturbed

not me lol

I think Rob will have good performances this year. I think I have his odyssey performance over this more due to range he got a little bit more to work with even if this one he more prominent. Drama performance I have over this too .

S*** drama I may have over this movie overall but neither in my personal top list by years end. Good one time watches.

This movie visually impressive even if I think its shallow. Drama I like its premise and feel it raises good questions even if it over dramatizes zendaya secret some

format of the show to a degree yes and yes some decoys did feel bad for their subjects wanting to tell them to go home . Because they felt for them and viewed them essentially as losers damaged by reality by the same male loneliness epidemic we have to this day. So they felt this person is just a loser do I want their life to end because they attempted this . The movie leaves it more open to if it was their first time where as the show makes clear that its often multiple times and at times repeat offenders

Example the Rabbi was first caught in 2006 then repeat offender til 2018 including after released on monitoring. he would continue to break monitoring conditions and was caught again by law enforcement.

Even if you look at all the cases thrown out. If these people never make contact in any form or any form of record thats potentially exponentially more victims they do have with no record. No one coming forward because they are preying on children.

I have mentioned watching this show young helped me feel comfortable calling out any weird behavior I have experienced in my life. without this show there was no talk of pedophilia in the news or media at all.

Movie I had hoped would highlight vicitims, audience reactions , Chris having a life with his family and going home balancing that and both sides of his humanity more.

you notice how when we start talking about the movie select users stop talking .

it sees like your personal affinity for the show is really shaping your reaction to the movie

? @unity

Will post youtube of some of the predators from the movie and you can ask yourself if you think the changes and dramatizations aimed to paint the predators as different than the movie

I do think they make it a bit less undercutting the reality and gravity of it.

Paralyzed man
