The one I blame is the woman who escalated it all. I don't blame her for being concerned, but bringing in a non-professional to question the girl was very irresponsible. Then she escalated it by calling his wife to tell her not to let his son come, THEN she announced it to the whole community before there was any evidence, let alone an investigation.<br /><br />And this is all too real an occurrence. There was a famous case at a Day Care where a woman with a history of mental health issues accused them of molesting her kid. In reading the transcripts the children in the daycare were asked VERY leading questions, just like in this film. And even though most of the kids' story was that they had been molested in outerspace the day care operators were still prosecuted. Witch hunts are very much still with us and that's what makes this film so scary.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-8807095182288404462014-01-24T13:55:57.164-08:002014-01-24T13:55:57.164-08:00Ha ha I felt the same way about "Compliance!&...Ha ha I felt the same way about "Compliance!" Throughout the movie, I was just like "Raa! How can people be so fucking stupid!!?" Out of curiosity , (not challenging you,) how exactly was the teacher unprofessional? I thought she did her best in a tough situation. The character I was REALLY fuming at was the girl's mother. When the girl says "I was just being stupid" (or something like that) and the mother tries to convince her it happened I was SO angry. ARGH! Thanks for the interesting comment.Sarah Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05791493920946066930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-79718478740135730102014-01-24T09:30:31.271-08:002014-01-24T09:30:31.271-08:00Great review.

That movie angered be beyond belief, I couldn't enjoy it at all.) I didn't really place all of the blame on Klara either, most of it went to the teacher she told, and how incredibly unprofessional she was about the entire situation.Brittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-81626935450871445122014-01-24T07:58:33.595-08:002014-01-24T07:58:33.595-08:00Good review Sarah.

All there needs to be is a relative-amount of chatter, and all of a sudden, that one person is branded for life as something they may, or may not deserve. Hate to sound so paranoid, but it's a fact of reality we live in.Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.comnoreply@blogger.com
