I see belief, a film from 2010 based on a true story. Hilary Swank as Betty Anne Waters and Sam Rockwell as her brother Kenneth Waters in leading roles. Kenneth were convicted of murder and imprisoned for life. Betty Anne, convinced that her brother innocence, went to Law school and became a lawyer in order to prove his innocence and set him free. The key to this freedom was DNA evidence.
DNA testing was not an available technology at the time, Kenneth was jailed. A hungry policewoman had for promotion and for any price, framed him. Years later, when Betty Anne was a lawyer, she heard about Barry Schecks new work with DNA, and he agreed to work with her. But for DNA testing to be done, had the box original evidence must exist. Betty Anne came across many obstacles to find this evidence, but she would not give up. She finally persuaded officials to search it, will there even and appeal to the clerk, the better character. The evidence was found, and it was a crucial point in winning the case.
Betty Anne's victory was not without its price. She lost her marriage under way, and life was very hard for her, as she struggled to raise her children, work at a bar and study law. With all that stress, well, I trøde, something was missing from the film. And she and her brother had sugary pop in their prison visits in the film. And yet everyone in the movie seemed to have the same things in common. They were all very slim. All except Kenneth ´ s ex-wife that the villain, who was central in his conviction. Although not particularly fat, she was not very thin, and she looked unfit-the modern depiction of the villain, perhaps. When the movie ended, the Viewer is shown the real Betty Anne and Kenneth, and Betty Anne is not as slim as Hilary Swank, with Kenneth is certainly more pleasant than Sam Rockwell.
It is really great movies. I just can't help wishing that more realistic actors used. Real people, who are subjected to so much stress and drinking sugary beverages are chubby. The film is beautifully acted, and directing is excellent. You really inspired with players and feel you are there with them As a doctor dealing with eating disorders and body image issues, I cannot help but know many young woman right looks to Betty Anne as a role model will also look to her as a very slim role model. For some of these young women become Betty Anne's success is synonymous with Hilary Swank super slim figure. These women are easily influenced by movies and pictures depict an unrealistic body shape for them to strive for. I look at a way, when a story is taken from real life on film, it is practically always portrays heroine without fat. Then when the credits rolling at the end, you will also see the actual images or a real video of the heroine, and she is almost always chubbier than the actress who plays her.
My point can be summed up like this. If you have seen or will see this or any other movie based on a true story, get inspiration from the story, and then look at the original person this story is based on. The image is the real image associated with the hero. And Yes, heroes come up with a realistic layers of fat.
If you have not seen the conviction yet, I highly recommend it. Despite my quirky point of view it is a great inspiring movie.
