[escepticos] Luces Rojas (Pelicula)

[Eduardo Peiré]

Lo que dice el director -Tim Robbins- en una entrevista:

"HARLIE ROSE: -what led one person to commit murder and what led other people,
feeling that the only justice is that that person gives up his life for taking
their loved ones' lives.

 
 
TIM ROBBINS: Right.  Well, I wanted to- you know, it's really- the bottom line
on the movie is - and the story Sister Helen wrote - it's a, it's a movie about
love and compassion, and also about violence and our own capacity for violence
and our own capacity for revenge.  And in, in dealing with this, I just felt it
was really important to, to not make judgments, you know, because I had to
address my own feeling about it, you know.  And there- quite frankly, if I was
in a similar circumstance, I would definitely have feelings of revenge.


 
CHARLIE ROSE: If someone murdered your children, you'd want to go-


 
TIM ROBBINS: Well, God forbid, you know, but you can definitely understand it.
It's a very human thing.  And, you know, the question becomes, well, you know,
in the moment, of course.  Of course you're going to defend your loved ones and,
and be retributive to any violence that happens to them.  The question is, is a,
is a little more complicated when it's the state carrying it out, and it's, you
know, six months later or six years later.  But in- my own views on the, on the
subject were, were not as, as important as telling this story the way it's
written in this book.  And it's complicated, you know.  It's something you've
got to be able to understand, and I didn't want to, I didn't want to pass
judgment.  I wanted to give these people dignity, you know"
