Trust.

So last night I watched a film called 'Trust'. I have never felt so moved by a film ever. I suppose that's why I'm talking about it, but I just was in tears, but genuine tears. I never normally cry at films unless it has some personal link or something I feel strongly about.
This film wasn't shown in the cinema. It was based as a small film, but because of it's nature they weren't allowed to show it worldwide. It's a highly sensitive film to watch.. because, myself I understood the parts of both sides, the girl and the parents. This film was about a young girl (14) developing a friendship over the internet over a few months, and he suggests meeting up, yet actually it's a man in his 40's and results in a sexual assault. Watch the Trailer here.
Alot of young people talk to people they don't know over the internet, and most will be harmless, but some clearly are not. There's no way you'd know about whether they were or not. I personally have spoken to lots of people online, how many of them were not who they seemed to be? Who knows, luckily for myself I have never been put in a situation where I had to find out. So, I understood how the girl felt, but the guy wasn't who he seemed to be, he groomed her essentially and the parental side of me was just crying out to her to realise, but she was so young and innocent.. that he worked her round. So that's also why I understood the parents argument, I couldn't imagine how it'd be if my daughter, or son got in that position, I suppose I'll never know. But it was just so heartbreaking, because they were such a lovely, happy family and something so tragic and emotional, ruined, what seems everything. They lost trust with each other, between the parents, and the parents with the girl.. They just didn't know what happened, or was happening.. And for that I felt so much towards them, the feeling of not doing their part, stop it from happening. Just so much emotion.

I watched the Director (David Schwimmer) on This Morning doing an interview about this film, as it was the first film he has directed. He was talking about how they came about it, how they tried to show it and everything about it. It was originally made for rape aware, so that young crowds and parents can see the effects of such trauma.
I honestly recommend this film to anyone, I have to say it was incredibly powerful stuff and well I have to class it as one of my top 5 favourite films of all time.
