Barbie Nadeau Movie “Face Of An Angel” Wins Rave Reviews; Knox Defense Freaks

Thank you Peter, I cannot wait to see this film!  I am certain Mr Winterbottom has done a very clever job of letting everyone know his true feelings without leaving himself open to any comeback.  Like you say, Knox ruined any good reputation she once had years ago.

I agree with MHILL4 and want to see this movie. Meredith inspired so much creativity, the 12 books Ghirgha mentioned and the 2 films, now this Winterbottom movie. How perfect when the face of an angel turns out to be Meredith’s in a movie like the Divine Comedy.

I’m catching up on posts after driving hot interstates visiting several areas since August 28th. Whew! glad to be home, be it ever so humble.

SeekingUnderstanding’s suitcase dream where she packed evidence against Knox who then removed it while charming her with distractions felt surreal and relevant as I repacked suitcases.

The movie will keep Meredith’s memory alive long after the legal dust settles. Her Kristian Leontiou video was just the beginning of her ethereal stage presence, our little Meredith angel the messenger of truth. Lyle Kercher has given his consent. That is good.

‘Re-packed’...Hopeful, -that’s interesting.
Re-packed is exactly what Knox does do, to concepts, to information. She re-packs them with her own wrapper, and ties them with pretty bows, but with a hard knot…so that they cannot be unwrapped again and seen for their truth, their content.

Genevieve is an interesting choice for La Knoxa, and it would seem that her mouth is the most her own, and not of the character we’ve seen in the interviews. It will be interesting to see her in the film, and to see whether any of those micro expressions or fleeting,empty, one-sided smiles come through.

I look forward to it - it sounds as if it has been approached creatively and thoughtfully.

I should mention I saw the movie today, and my view of it is different than the early bird reviews, Peter 😊

I’ll post my impressions tomorrow.

Hi Ergon

Perhaps our level of satisfaction is dependent upon which yardstick we are using.

This will not be the last word on the evidence and the strong case made, it was mapped out a year ago before Judge Nencini ruled on RS’s and AK’s appeal, and it started out with the director’s premise that for once the focus should not primarily be on the over-exposed perps.

That the Kercher family like it and allowed it to be dedicated to Meredith shows it is one step in the right direction.

If Cassation rules as expected in further confirmation of the Massei verdict, and legal constraints are removed, we should finally see some no-holds-barred books and movies.

So Luciano Ghirga has threatened to sue. Fat chance since either they are working pro bono or, (and to quote Knox book waiting to be paid.) Lawyers are not cheap by any means since they will usually charge 10 cents for one sheet of blank paper so where is the money coming from? Point is that for Knox to remain out of sight then her money will dry up and grandmother Huff is already into a second mortgage.
The idea that Knox will disappear is quite feasible but as we all know that takes money and since it has become a cause cerebra I doubt it will happen. On the other hand I’m sure that they have formulated contingency plans when the sentence is confirmed. We will have to wait and see. I love to point out that her sentence will only start from the moment she goes into Capanne. Time is passing after all and Sollecito and Guede will not remain silent for very long.

Hi, Grahame, true, I would add that at this point the perpetrators are probably forgetting *why* they killed Meredith and that life would have been wonderful had they not done it - remorse must be kicking in quite strong for ruining their own lives, not just Meredith’s.

I should clarify, when I say “forget” I mean forget their intense, sick, hatred they felt when they committed the murder, a sensation that - like everything else - dissipates in time, and the murderer is left wondering why he did it in the first place. That is, if the murderer is remotely human (Guede and Sollecito may qualify in this life, not so sure about Knox).

There is a condition called ‘blood Simple’ which occurs to the killer immediately after they have killed. This is why Knox and Sollecito ran for it and only afterwards went back because they realized in their drugged state that they had done something evil.

It was only later that Knox, being the sociopath she seems to be, took over from Sollecito who probably panicked. It was Knox who convinced Sollecito that she could fix everything probably reminding him of his sister and his family.

She was maybe convinced she was OK because she was American and seemed to believe she was superior to people who have a different skin color or who speak with a different accent. As the court has concluded it was Knox anyway who struck the fatal blow.

The vast silence from Knox and company now may be an attempt to anesthetize public opinion. I’m sure they will milk all the sympathy and thereby monetary funds they can from a North American public who believe anything they are told. For example consider the TV programs such as ‘Mantracker’ where men on horseback track two others on foot. This does not mention the two camera crews plus the caterers plus the makeup artists plus the transportation that go along with this. The translation is gullibly stupid.

Or perhaps ‘Here comes Honey Boo Boo’ These are the uneducated who consider Knox to be innocent. I won’t mention the word think because that is beyond their capability. Too bad for them that we are here, because unlike Susan Anthony we are not going to give up until Knox gets the jail time coming even if it takes years.

There is a price to pay for moronic TV: you get a rude awakening when you step out of the bubble, and more and more shows have to be produced for that goody-goody feelin’

(William Irwin Thompson - an American - wrote a fun-to-read book in 1991, The American Replacement of Nature, where he calls these guys electro-peasants, nice).

Yes youre right of course.

I had occasion to be made aware of the following. A little girl of about a year or maybe two years old was given a book to read. She didn’t know how to open it but just kept on hitting the picture on the front cover in order to open the computer program.

Ah the future of the dumbing down of Western civilization, if you can call it that. The Chinese are just waiting for the eventual collapse.

I differ slightly on this. My own experience is that most Americans take very easily to working together with themselves and non-Americans and bettering their lot, if things are managed right.

Plus they have the huge advantage most other countries dont have, that English is the global language now. You’d be surprised how in the dark most people in most countries are just because of this.

Very large parts of the US are comparatively poor, and I encounter dozens who say they would like for example to go to New York or further afield but it wont happen in their lifetimes because the money isnt there.

The two core problems I see are:

(1) the worldwide tendency for initially efficient but increasingly inefficient systems to get locked in - as we are seeing now with the Italian justice system, see the post above; and

(2) the tendency especially in the US but also in China, Russia, etc, toward winner take all, which means more and more money ending up in fewer and fewer hands.

This money is usually invested very cautiously, and only rarely in the areas that could produce the fastest growth.

The knowhow to get beyond this is not (yet) taught in schools but it really should be.

Everybody should be able to “see” the systems that impact their lives and do something about them. Everybody should be invited in to local processes of which visioning for a better future is a part.

It aint so hard, but we are just not there yet.

The US political system among others makes it hard for these non-zero-sum games to work. A giant system problem holding us back. But there is a way round. Processes have to be driven essentially bottom-up.

The internet could have a very, very big role here.
