Annette O Toole from Dead before Sunset. with the handsome Ken Olin,she was great in that film too,but THIS one i really feel her acting chops.The lovely,very talented Leslie Ann Warren was simply as always incredible,quite realistic,as all of her movies i've seen. --- I have it on again today. Prosecutor,i agree only care about it seem"winning"at all cost,not attempting to understand the flagrant mitigating factors,leading up to a parent doing what she did. --- They do not put themselves,in"how they will feel if some 1 hurt their under eighteen years old child,in a abhorrent brutal, nefarious, vile fashion.The parent simply SNAPPED.It clearly was not planned.She snapped.She sure didn't mean to intentionally kill the rapist/batterer of her youngest child.
I love Annette O Toole,from start to conclusion.
I love how at first,she had aggressiely and astutely,defendant the rapist,the disgusting,abhorrent Frank Warden,who indeed battered/raped wendy,a little girl pre-teen only 12, during such brutal attacks,then turn around,sympathize,as a mother herself with Leslie Ann Warren character, she clearly did understand what the mother must've been going through and finally agreed,to represent the mother.I love it.
Brilliantly written-all premise on a true-story.sad, so so sad,seeing the beautiful Lil girl Wendy suffer this way,"talk about a great child-actor."so good she was in this,and the father as well,JILL, theolder teen-child,curly-hair sister was good(realistically) as a teen-sis,devastated,blaming herself at first as the mom,even "inwardly blame Jill."the ending i will not surprise but wow. ---
Just a incredible true to life story.Sex abuse/RAPE is the worse. ...
Some say death is worse than what happened to wendy but some disagree.
Some say, the knowing of what had happen to her daughter,simply in many ways is worse. Worse for the victim of rape & worse for the darling, sweet good parents who also has to live with what happen to the child,during such time in their young lives. ---
I could not convict some 1 like that,i do NOT at anytime,condone shooting a man or woman,in cold blood, defenseless. ---
But i also know this coward,no good person was the worse in society,and she "snapped"so it happened. i would have said acquit her,and or probationary period couple years,with ongoing week-by- week therapy,until she is "ok again." 1 of lifetime BEST MOVIES ever made for television. ---
Even toward the end of her being sentenced,not of murder but of the lesser included-charge of "manslaughter"we see the daughter enter the courtroom,and how the jury responded,the courtroom etc. A very moving scene.
Even at the end,his mother(frank warden mom) finally understood when seeing "the physical of what happen to the Lil girl)she even finally understood,what her son really did,and for that?i would have if i was the jury given her no time,probationary period for therapy,but no prison time.
All good parents can relate to this movie,and i love it.have it on today after many years,of waiting for LMN to show it again,love it. ...
