A worthwhile documentary
27 January 2023
Way too many haters on here, this documentary was outstanding from start to finish and left me wanting more. The film absolutely depicts how everyone overlooked the warning signs regarding Kai and I think viewers are more subconsciously upset with the media back in 2013 that got everyone behind this guy, perhaps even more upset with themselves for being part of the duped movement that jumped on his bandwagon. I also understand that many people feel that Kai has received punishment unjustly for the murder and that his victim was killed in self defence. I understand this thinking, he is a likeable personality, but for me it's just hard to get passed certain details - like Kai getting caught on camera hugging the guy AFTER the night he claims that the rape took place, as well as the extremely excessive damage that the old man sustained to his head. What more can be said? The disdain for this film seems like another example of how stubborn and group-thinking the masses have become, the people criticizing this movie are likely not Rhodes Scholars (although neither am I) and are probably better suited to be watching less troubling material like Ginny and Georgia or Toopy and Binoo. Get off your dang high horses and try creating your own art before running your mouths, because this documentary has it all. Of course, you are entitled to your opinion, I just think it's a bit of a shame. I guess it would be most prudent to remember the words of Kai himself: "you're worthwhile" and so is this documentary. For me, it's a Smash, smash, Suh-mash!
