Movie #1526 ........................."Forever B"
Movie #1526 "Forever B" was the movie at the Phoenix Film Festival that won best documentary, but I wouldn't have voted for it ---- why? Because I would vote for the documentary that should be shown again and again for people to watch. This one is so involved, so scandalous, so weird, that I personally don't want to ever watch it again, nor would I recommend it. At the film, they gave out books, but as I said to the lady behind me, I took one, but felt like I should return it, because I had no intention to read it nor pass it on to someone else whom I thought would enjoy reading it. It's a despicable story about a young girl and her whole family manipulated by a fellow church member (latter day saints) --- the parents do awful things so the guy has that over their heads, and the guy kidnaps the daughter because he is fixated with her (until she gets in her 20s and is no more an attraction for him --- an obvious pedophile, long before we knew the word, which also makes the story more of a possibility --- even though it is hard to believe!. "Forever B" (the kidnapper) convinces the girl that she has to have sex with him or alien creatures will do awful things to her family --- she believes him because she is a kid, very naive (like her family) and no one in the family talks to each other on these sex topics. Pretty disgusting story. And I don't want to think of it again. The documentary gets the info across two ways --- by interview (tough to watch these parents go through the story detail by detail) and re-enactment by actors (pretty phony to me, and not very effective, esp. when it shows the pedophile dealing with the little girl. yuck! I give this 3 out of 5 stars, but I wouldn't recommend it. It kept my interest, but much like a car accident would.
