Foxyscarf · 03/01/2019 07:36

How about being less vague?

What's happened? Who is VL?

A director who made a short film about a little boys murder.

Gigglebrain · 03/01/2019 07:37

Having googled it, he’s made a short film about the murder of James. Horrific.

JustABetterPlayer · 03/01/2019 07:38

Vincent created a short film on James Bulger FYI.

Through the film, director Vincent Lambe made the point that he wanted to “humanise” the two boys who committed this horrific crime, Jon Venables and Robert Thompson. Nobody had attempted this before.

It’s awful. The fact he admitted he didn’t speak to Jamie Bulgers family beforehand because he knew they would disapprove says it all

He's made a short movie about it. He's a young American guy. He didn't have permission from any of the families involved. Shocking.
Just watched him being interviewed on BBC news. Angry

There's films about lots of murders. Lots of people will be unaware of the case.as time goes by nobody will know....

James bulger case was part of my sons gcse studies

Op are you thinking we should now forget?

planespotting · 03/01/2019 07:41

Awful
This story still haunts me. It makes me actually ill when I remember Sad

namechangeforthisobviously · 03/01/2019 07:41

I’d like to see it.

I’m not sure that I think he’s done anything wrong.

HowamIgoingtocope · 03/01/2019 07:41

To be fair would you say this about any other child murderer ( devil's advocate here did you guess)
There was a short film made about thus Jones and other child killers to be fair.
What we should be looking at is the ability of the child actors playing the offenders. Now that mut have been hard.

Samcro · 03/01/2019 07:41

How awful

planespotting · 03/01/2019 07:42

The family. Imagine to have that wound ripped open again

Ironfloor269 · 03/01/2019 07:42

Bastard.

Nothing can ever humanise those two demons who did that to poor little James.

NameChangerAmI · 03/01/2019 07:42

I've just watched the trailer. Has it already been released this film? Could watch the trailer bot not see any information about it.

I don't understand how these transcripts are allowed to be in the public domain. Is it down to the Freedom of Imformation Act?

HowamIgoingtocope · 03/01/2019 07:42

We need to remember the victims . Not the offenders. Can anyone remember the names of children who have been killed. Probably not. But you can remember the killers.

SinglePringle · 03/01/2019 07:42

With no sarcasm, how is this any different to a film about any real life murder?

Shoxfordian · 03/01/2019 07:43

I'd like to see it too, there's plenty of films and documentaries about true crime, I don't think he's done anything wrong either

NameChangerAmI · 03/01/2019 07:43

What has Denise Bulger , Ralph Bulger publicly said about this, does anybody know?
