While the trailers and adverts might make this seem like it's a happy romp, it's not. Believe me it's not. This, in my opinion, is a very sad film. It took me by surprised me and made me remember aspects of my childhood I don't normally keep at the forefront of my mind. This is despite the comedy and the happy joy-joy attitude seen for about 50% of the film. I really related to Riley, so much so that I actually cried quite a bit at the theatre. I felt a bit embarrassed but I really couldn't help it. It wasn't the acts in the film that made me sad, it was the explanation afterwards. Riley's motivations. Hearing it in words after seeing everything broke me. A Disney film hasn't made me cry like that ever.
You absolutely have to see Inside Out. But, don't go into it looking for it to put a smile on your face after a bad day. It's a really emotional ride. However, the message in the end is really worth it. It's a message that we should really get across to the children of today. I wish the message being put forward by this movie was being aimed at children back when I was a kid. It would have really helped. It would have indeed.
So I watched the new Netflix documentary American Murder: Family Next Door. Halfway of watching it, just wanted to shut it down because I could not bear watching the kids being murdered by their own dad whom they considered as hero. My God. From the start, I knew Chris, the father, is the primary suspect because if Shannan has been abducted along with her kids, some suspect would already have been negotiating for ransom in exchange for their lives.
It was only 10 minutes before the documentary has to end that he started to admit of killing his wife. He denied that he killed his children, that it was Shannan who both killed them. Well, dead man tells no tale as they said. How could Shannan do it, it doesn't make any sense. First, she was not an abusive wife and as a mother of two kids. Second, she loved her family so much. Chris would have called 911 immediately for fucking sake but instead he strangled her to death and his kids were even watching on what happened to their mom. He imediately drove and dug a grave for her wife's body in the vicinity of an oil field while he also disposed his children in an oil drum, treated it as garbage bin for her children's bodies.
All because of a rich fucking mistress, he wanted a fresh life and just murdered his family altogether. He could have settled for divorce instead. But he chose to reveal his true color, his sociopathic life. Criminal like him is a waste of American's taxes.
WARNING: DON'T LET YOUR KIDS WATCH THIS
