Forgive them for they ...
8 March 2023
... well can you? No pun intended of course. A great drama based on a true story. I did not know much about the things going on - sorry that went on a long time ago, in Spain. A lot of unrest, a lot of mayhem and murder and criminality. If people are being used for purposes they are not even aware of themselves ... well it is easy to brainwash people who are easily swayed ... but what does it do with them mentally, psychologically? What about the victims and their families? Of course you can't depict all, so this concentrates on a few people.

Luis Tosar is an amazing actor - and the woman main character, whose name I am not familiar with, but who is also very well known in her country ... I mean both are just grand. And they have to be ... very hard stuff to watch. Very hard stuff to make ... us relate to. Even the griefing process .... when are you able to forgive? And how much? It really has a lot of questions and it does not shy away from a very ... well let's call it controversial ending ... it does not take it easy ... but there is no easy when something despicable has ruined your life ...
