This is a documentary about a true story of a tabloid
sensation. The story goes like this. Young
Beauty Queen marries a Mormon. The man leaves on a Mormon retreat and the woman
believes they brainwash him and he now part of the cult. The woman with a help
of the guy kidnaps the man at gun point and take him to the cabin and ties him
up. While tied up woman precedes to F the cult the right out of him for an entire
weekend. Then after that the story starts to get weird. Their religion, sex,
disguises, prostitution, false identities, and even some dog cloning involve. It's
done through interviews, articles, and news clips. It’s pretty nicely done. It helps if you know
very little about the story so you can decide who telling the truth and who
not. Since multiple groups have good reason to fudge the story. And you really
get to see how the media plays the roll in this, and shaping public opinion.
You get how the media picks side and drive the narrative to ways that suits
them. Then you see how the law reacts to the public opinion. The people they
interview are interesting characters and good telling their story. You can see
the woman is bit publicity savvy despite seeming kind of flakey. She appears
smarter then she acts, although still kind of insane. She has a nice
personality when she talks and it only till as she talks you say “hahaha this
lady crazy.” Then when you hear her talk even more you think “Oh this woman’s
CRAZY...not sitcom crazy. But make a sculpture of you out of her poop
crazy.” The story is a nice mystery that
slowly builds with surprises. It set the
mood of each era the story takes place in showing poor hair choice decisions of
the people involve. If there a minus, it
is that some important people in the story refuse to give an interview. So you’re
missing important parts of the story. But still a solid story B
