dzell Review of Amanda Knox

Amanda Knox (2011 TV Movie)

A movie they can't show or they might get sued

[9 September 2011]

This movie pretends to be a true story but there a 5 things in it that are not only false, they are things could get the screenplay writer sued for libel. To avoid making this a spoiler, I can't go into detail. right now this case is under appeal, and most people who know about the case expect her to be acquitted. What happened was the case that prosecutor Mignini presented was a work of fiction. The reasons why Amanda Knox was convicted are secret, therefore we may never know the true story this movie was based on. The trial scenes were shot inside a real Italian court room, so I guess a deal was made with the producer where we will let you use a courtroom if you agree to insert these 5 things into your movie, and don't ask questions about it. This is too bad because there were many people who appear to have put in a lot of hard work to make this a good movie, and it probably won't ever be shown again because of the controversy. I hope that can re-edit this movie and add some new footage, and turn it into a comedy.
