I'd like to thank my film class for the following:
I HIGHLY recommend "Capturing the Friedman's." It's a movie that will keep you talking and thinking about it for days. It's a documentary about the father and the son (19) convicted of over 238 accounts of sexual molestation in 1988. Now the question is...are they innocent?
My belief: I believe Jesse (the son) was innocent of all crimes. The father, Arnold, may have not had a very "choir boy" past, however I believe that of the crimes he was convicted of, (in the setting in which the events took place) he was innocent. If boys between the ages of 8-10 were being raped and beaten by an older man AND his son...don't you think there would be physical evidence that SOMEONE would have noticed? (ex blood, fluids, scarring, brusing...)
The movie is INCREDIBLY well editied and amazingly easy to follow. I was impressed!
Typical reaction: Movie starts: They're guilty... Half way: Jesse is innocent..so is Arnold. Ending: WTF? Jesse is innocent, Arnold-NO idea.
Enjoy:).
