The movie "Karla" about Bernardo/Homolka killing spree, is due to be released January 20/06.
It is a low budget movie based on the court transcripts from the 1995 trial.

I for one won't waste my time or money watching this garbage.

I am curious however... wondering how many people are going to see it??:mad:
 
I'll definitely see it. We all lived the story for so long -- blanket media coverage during and after -- that it should be interesting to see the film interpretation of these events.
 
I will see it.

I have met them before several times and spent a few nights out together. If you met them personally you would say look at this "Barbie and Ken" couple...too perfect. Except for a few low-lifes that Bernardo hung out with on his own, all of their mutual friends were conservative nerdy accountant types or the women were nurses and housewives.

When he was charged with those murders and rapes everyone that knew them was surprised and shocked that "Paul" was accused of this. Shocked that he was in their homes, invited to social gatherings or introduced to their other conservative friends.

These people could have sold their stories, videos and pictures of Paul and Karla but they wanted no attention and wanted to forget they ever met them.

I want to see it and you should all see it to try and understand how someone who seemingly is so conservative and proper could turn out to be such a monster. It mimics the "Jack the Rippper", "Jekyl and Hyde" archetype so closely, conservative accountant by day violent killer/rapist at night. Concerned vetrinarian assistant by day ...murderous stooge/accomplice (or the real killer?) It is hard to believe that all this really happened. To have actually met them and known them as friends even more shocking...and disturbing
 
Yes, Judlet your exprerience puts a whole new spin on things.

Not to be crass but I've got to ask, however . . . is Karla really that hot!!
 
I thought she had a very conservative hair style and demeanor...not my type ...not sexy enough, she was pretty but blah. She laid back while Paul did all the talking.
 
There's not a chance in hell I'll see this movie. I hope the bastards burn in hell. If it was my daughter that was the victim, they never would have made it to jail. I'd be the one you that you would be going to the theatre to see. I'd have gotten a gun ( registered of course ) and blown there fucking heads off ! End of story. No remorse. Done.

BS

Actually I would have liked to have kidnapped them and tortured them for awhile first and then killed them but probably wouldn't have had the chance. Just a qucik bullet to the head would have to suffice.

I don't want to even breathe the same air as those two slugs, let alone see their movie :mad:
Just curious why you describe it as "their movie"? Paul Barnardo and Karla Homolka did not produce it, did they? They would not be earning money from the movie, would they? Does the movie glorify what they did and make them out to be heroes? And why you are mad about it? Why should you care whether I watch this movie or not? I certainly don't care if you watch it. Please enlighten me. This seems to be such a controversial topic.
 
I heard the lesbian scenes with Karla and her victims are really hot and graphic , I'll definatley see it !!!
 
I'd go if I could be sure I get to see Laura Prepon's nipples.
 
I'd like to hope that your $14 would be diverted to either the families of those girls or a couple of beers somewhere. It's beyond reasonable to even go for curiosity's sake. Don't feed a dime into it.

I'd like to suggest that every actor, cameraman, grip and assistant that worked on this film has no regard for humanity. From the clips on the news, it also looks like crap. This film should be banned in Canada for being so insulting to the families.

My posting has nothing against freedom of speech, I'm just filled with disgust that someone put millions of $$ into telling this story.

Feeling gross about it.

People that go to see it should be put on a list somewhere. No offense.

I didn't mean it was "THEIR" movie... as in ownership.
I should have chosen my words more carefully....about "THEIR" kidnapping and murder spree.

I haven't seen clips of the film or read media reports of the film, so I can't say one way or the other if your statements are true. But I am puzzled by your claim that every actor, cameraman, grip and assistant that worked on the film has no regard for humanity. That strikes me as a little bit extreme. Surely there are more to these people than the film they worked on. And even if you look only at what they have made with this film, to say that a grip who worked on the film has no regard for humanity...well, maybe you could explain your reasoning. And why is this insulting to the families? Is a film about 9/11 insulting to the families of those who died in those attacks? Are we to censor all films which might be insulting to someone? Sorry, I just don't get it, and I don't understand why you express your point of view with such passion, and suggest that people who watch this film should be on some kind of list. What would you propose be done with people on that list?

I didn't really think they owned it. I believe they would be prevented by law from profiting in this way. But I think you may have missed my central point. As long as they aren't profiting from it, what is the big deal? Why not make a movie about it? And why do you care if anyone goes to see it?

Questor..I have but one question.. which area of the country do you live in?
I live in Toronto. So close and yet so far from St. Catherines. If someone I knew was the victim, then I can see being very upset and emotional about the case, and not wanting to see the movie. But why the anger that anyone else would want to see the movie?

I watched the Killing Fields on tv not too long ago. Millions brutally murdered. Is this offensive to make a movie about that? I was really affected by the movie and think it was very well made. I guess you could say the same about Hotel Rwanda. And if I watch the Karla movie, perhaps I will be similarly moved to feelings of compassion and sympathy for the victims, and anger towards the culprits. But I still do not see why making a movie about it is so offensive to some people, and why you for example would be angry that someone may want to watch the movie.

And for the record, I doubt that I will spend 14 bucks on it either. I happen to think all first run movies are a rip off. But I might see it when it comes out in video.
