It's one of the points of the article. You really, really should take that into account before saying something like
> I'm convinced that, when there's the will, the world is big enough for anyone to disappear and get a new life.
and blame her tweets for the attention she gets.
- gpas 5y agoI don't know how much of the movie is relatable to her story, I guess I'll have to watch it... For what I know the tweet and most of all the article (which has spread at the speed of light from major online tabloids to every local news site) could even be a publicity stunt to generate hype around the movie itself. Who knows? Given the recent state of the media, everything is possible. And I'm very skeptic by nature. But let's get back to why for me is a lost battle. Look at the replies under her tweet, most people outside the US have made up in their minds a clear idea of what she is, she's guilty, they condemn her, no matter what the final sentence stated. I respect the sentence and consider her a victim too. But life is too short to try to change people's minds, or to fight against a movie "loosely based" on your tragic past. Maybe people wouldn't even noticed the correlation with her case (but again, I haven't seen the movie, I don't know how much evident is). I'm sure it's hard to live with those memories, but she has the means for a complete exit from the scene, people will forget, and a movie based on your life won't be profitable anymore.
