[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 435360, member: 8"] [ATTACH type="full"]58302[/ATTACH] I wasn't very vocal about it at the time it was happening and I decided to watch it now that there has been created significant distance between then & now. As the documentary keeps emphasising, it's not about the truth it's about credibility, which is massively complicated by the fact that they are both actors, and they both acted during this trial. Johnny Depp is the better actor who played it consistently while Amber's performance was all over the place. Regardless of the truth - and any sane person would understand that it can't be as black & white as many people believed it to be - I think it has contributed to the fact that the sensibilities surrounding this trial shifted from pro-Depp to anti-Heard. Because it's one thing to tell a lie, but another to tell it unconvincingly. And she kept failing in her post-trial interviews. The trial is also coloured by the negative impact of MeToo since it had become obvious that this positive movement was also used for dishonest motivations like revenge and narcissism and publicity. Amber had profiled herself as a poster child for MeToo, and ended up on the other side of the spectrum. All things considered I feel it's not really about them, but more about the interactive, bloodthirsty involvement of the spectators. Justified hatred is still hatred and I must say that this documentary left a bad taste in my mouth. [/QUOTE]
