Scary truth of absolute power corrupts, a lie that becomes a web of lies
19 April 2018
The Kennedys were before my time but I see the Clintons taking up that role in modern day. This movie is the story how a drunk Ted crashed his car in the Chappaquidick with his lover in the passenger seat and then he left her there to die over the next few hours. Was she pregnant? Was it intentional? There was a fraud course a few years ago where the instructor was teaching how to tell if someone is lying in their statement to the police. There are three statements Ted made, right after the crash, a few days later when he was sober, and even later with a lawyer. Three pages of different lies about the same murder. The other example the instructor used was Bill Clinton talking to Congress and the American people about Monica. Lies upon lies that form a web of lies. When politicians think they are above the law, it gets messy. Democrats tried to stop this movie from getting made. I am glad it was. The acting is top notch, the direction is on point and the plot moves along nicely. My only wish is that they were not tough enough on Ted. See this film. It is well done and seeks the truth.
