This is a typical example of a movie based on a true story that does not require the consent of the person. Those who don't know the background of the film might think it's just a suspense movie about how a father helps his daughter clear her name in Marseilles, France, and how much he suffers. But in fact, this story is adapted from the case of Amanda Knox, a shocking transnational case in the United States. This case is very famous in the United States and Europe. There have been many documentaries, and you can see it if you search for it. Because it is a very tortuous case, which lasted a long time.
Amanda Knox herself went to study in Italy from the United States, and her roommate was suddenly killed. She and her boyfriend were initially considered to be the first suspects and were also sentenced to prison, but after several twists and turns, she was finally released. Because the protagonist is an American in the trial, court, and evidence collection in Italy, you can imagine how anxious her own family is, but as an ordinary person, it is really difficult to exert strength. The film "Still Water City" actually describes this very well. Even if the setbacks experienced by the father in the film are different and fabricated, the twists and turns and sense of powerlessness are definitely similar. Every once in a while, he would go to Europe to see his daughter, trying every means to prove her innocence, but the father was only a blue-collar class, not wealthy. In addition, the film also mentioned that the father himself has many problems. In the end, it gives the impression that if there is a father, there must be a daughter, which is also a result of heredity.
One of the reasons for the twists and turns of this film in reality is that Amanda Knox does have a lot of personal problems in her life, and she doesn't give a very good impression to others, and some of her boyfriend's testimony is not good for her, and later the third The suspect's DNA again did not match that at the scene.
The final conclusion of the film is also different from the real situation. In the film, Allison, played by Abigail Breslin, was finally confirmed to have instructed others to kill her roommate, but in reality Amanda Knox never admitted it, and there is no conclusive evidence that Amanda Knox and her roommate were killed. related. She always insisted that she was innocent.
Amanda Knox also accepted many media interviews after the release of "Quiet Water City", saying that the film creator, director, cast and filmmaker of "Quiet Water City" have not contacted her, which means that although this story is based on her story Adapted, but added a lot of other made-up content without asking her permission. But legally speaking, the film is indeed a fictional story, and it does not have the same name as in the Amanda Knox case, and even the location of the crime was changed from Italy to France. But anyone who knows the Amanda Knox case will know it's her case, because it's so big and so unique. The film's conclusion does once again cast doubt on Amanda Knox's innocence.
However, as I said before, no matter how Amanda Knox and her family have opinions, all she can do is to give an interview to say that she does not know about the film, and that no one has asked her for advice, and she does not agree with the conclusion of the film. But she couldn't sue the film party. The film was not only released, but also participated in the Cannes Film Festival. Matt Damon's performance was also well received.
The same is true of the playground case mentioned on Weibo a few days ago. If the film party adapts it like this, even if it draws a conclusion different from reality, it is completely feasible, and there is no need to say hello to the parties.
The film is now available online
