OH BOY. MADE MY EYEBALLS FRIGGIN SWEATY. XD

I'm talking about this.

I've just finished watching An American Crime, starring Ellen Page (who's also the girl who played Juno in, err, Juno xD), and boy did I cry terribly hard.

If you've never heard about it before and you don't know anything about it whatsoever, then I can tell you a bit about it. Uh, it's basically about the torture&torment that a young American girl went through in the hands of a family who made her experience hell on Earth.

I don't know if I was exaggerating but, oh well, moving on..


------------------- ^^

Since I'm not really skilled in summarizing, I'll just copy-paste a synopsis I got from The Internet Movie Database.

Based on a true story that shocked the nation in 1965, the film recounts one of the most shocking crimes ever committed against a single victim. Sylvia and Jennie Fae Likens, the two daughters of traveling carnival workers are left for an extended stay at the Indianapolis (3850 E. New York St. is hardly suburban, nor was it in 1965, by any stretch of the imagination.) home of single mother Gertrude Baniszewski and her six children. Times are tough, and Gertrude's financial needs cause her to make this arrangement before realizing how the burden will push her unstable nature to a breaking point. What transpires in the next three months is both riveting and horrific, leaving one child dead and the rest scarred for life.

Oh, yeah. It's based on a true story
&knowing that even made the whole movie more painful.. -.-
.. to watch. lol xD


------------------- ^^

It's very sad, for me. Eek. And I could not feel any more sorry for Sylvia, who's played by Ellen Page, that extremely convincing, great and not to mention beautiful actress.

"The merry-go-roung just goes 'round and 'round, up and down.
You don't go anywhere but you always feel safe."

Adding to the movie's awesome-ness is the presence of James Franco.
Oooh, isn't he gorgeous? He always is. :">


He made out with a woman who's
more or less 10years his senior in the movie
he's still hot, nevertheless.

So, yes. An American Crime. Watch it.
If you're having problems looking for the movie
- be it vcd, dvd or online
just ask me and I'd give you the link. Heehee.

Oh, no. Watching movies online is not illegal.
Let's just see it as borrowing and returning.
We're not downloading it, anyway :)
Right, NianCi? xD

Done.
