он не взбудоражил

((Мне всегда казалось, что искать причины и мотивы преступления,"копаться" в душе преступника - это очень очень забавно.
Пролистывание этого фильма убедило в обратном. Наверное, перекушал всего этого.
Утверждается, что старший брат жертву изнасиловал. Но предложил поиметь добровольный секс с младшим братом. На что жертва согласилась.
Насколько понимаю, это известно со слов преступников.))

"А так как я человек восприимчивый, на меня в принципе очень многое оказывает воздействие, но с этим фильмом в эмоциональном плане у меня почему-то не случилось.

Не потому что я не верила актёрам – напротив! Сыграли они превосходно! Этим я даже восхищалась. Не потому что фильм не глубокий, не потому что он плохо снят (срежиссирован, проработан). Фильм вполне достойный, и заслуживающий внимания. Но души моей он не взбудоражил. Наверное, это было потому…

"Второй раз в жизни меня бил озноб после просмотра фильма вчера. Фильм, о котором я ничего не читала и не знала раньше "Мертвец идет" Тима Роббинса.
... И через этот ужас ее ведет вера в то, что "человек больше того зла, что он совершает". Ее молитва в тюремном туалете перед казнью меня пробила до слез."
.....................
" Кроме того, в фильме нет ничего лишнего. Ни единого сомнительного эпизода, ни одной затянутой сцены. Приятно и то, что явный религиозный подтекст фильма совершенно не напрягает, на суд зрителя выносятся скорее общечеловеческие понятия о совести и морали. В общем, фильм срежиссирован просто мастерски.

"Elmo Patrick "Pat" Sonnier (February 21, 1950 – April 5, 1984) was a convicted American murderer and rapist in Louisiana who was executed by electrocution at Louisiana State Penitentiary in Louisiana on April 5, 1984. Sonnier was sentenced to death - with his younger brother, Eddie, sentenced to life in prison - on April 25, 1978, for the November 5, 1977, rape and murder of Loretta Ann Bourque, 18, and the murder of David LeBlanc, 17.

On November 4, 1977, 17-year-old David LeBlanc and his girlfriend 18-year-old Loretta Ann Bourque attended the Homecoming football game at Catholic High School in Iberia Parish, Louisiana. After the game, the couple drove to an isolated area in St. Martin Parish, a type of lovers' lane. At around 1 a.m., the couple were approached by two men, 27-year-old Elmo Patrick "Pat" Sonnier and his younger brother, 20-year-old Eddie James Sonnier. The brothers had been in the area hunting rabbits and were armed with 22-caliber rifles.

A lovers' lane is a secluded area where people kiss, make out, or engage in sexual activity.[1] These areas range from parking lots in secluded rural areas to places with extraordinary views of a cityscape or other features.

"Lovers' lanes" are typically found in cultures built around the automobile—lovers often make out in a car or van for privacy.

Lovers' lanes have existed for centuries, sometimes as places for secret meetings with a forbidden lover or as a euphemism for red-light districts and other areas of prostitution.[citation needed]

The Oxford English Dictionary records use of the phrase "lovers' lane" from 1853.[2]

The Sonniers identified themselves as police officers and presented a badge that one of the brothers had acquired while working as a security guard. The brothers entered LeBlanc's car. They told the couple that they were trespassing on private property and were under arrest. The brothers took LeBlanc's and Bourque's driver's licenses, handcuffed the couple, and moved them to the back seat. They then told the couple that they were going to drive them to the home of land's owner to see if the owner wished to press trespassing charges.

The Sonniers drove the couple to an oilfield in Iberia Parish and parked by the road.

Bourque agreed

They handcuffed LeBlanc to a tree in a nearby wooded area. They took Bourque from the car and Elmo raped her. The brothers told her they would release both her and LeBlanc unharmed if she had sex with Eddie James Sonnier. Bourque agreed. Afterward, the brothers took the couple back to the car and removed their handcuffs. Elmo Sonnier decided against releasing them, as he feared the couple would report the incident and he would be reincarcerated at Angola. The brothers forced the couple to lie face down in a ditch and fatally shot them several times.

The brothers returned LeBlanc's car to St. Martin Parish. When they reached Elmo's 1961 Dodge Dart, they discovered they had a flat tire. They used a jack from LeBlanc's car to change their tire. The jack was later found in Elmo Sonnier's car. The following day, the brothers disposed of LeBlanc's and Bourque's driver's licenses and buried the weapons they used in the killings.

Arrests

The Sonnier brothers were arrested on December 5, 1977. Elmo voluntarily confessed to police that he abducted LeBlanc and Bourque, raped Bourque, and killed both. He made a second statement admitting his guilt while being transported to jail, and a third confession the following day. Police searched his home, where they found handcuffs in his bedroom that had been used to restrain LeBlanc and Bourque. They also found LeBlanc's car jack in Elmo's car. Later they discovered the buried guns that had been used in the murders. A bullet from one of the victims matched the guns, which belonged to the Sonnier brothers; another match was made from casings found at the crime scene. Police located a witness who saw Elmo Sonnier's car in St. Martin Parish.

Both brothers were indicted on two counts of first degree murder. Elmo Sonnier entered a plea of not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity.

Leaving their own car behind, the Sonnier brothers drove the couple twenty-one miles to a remote oilfield located in Iberia Parish, an area known well to the defendants. Once at the oilfield, both victims were removed from the car.

David LeBlanc was taken into the woods and handcuffed to a tree. Loretta Bourque was taken a short distance away and raped by Elmo Sonnier. She then reluctantly agreed to have intercourse with Eddie Sonnier on the condition that they would safely release her and Mr. LeBlanc afterwards. Upon completion of the rapes, Patrick Sonnier removed their handcuffs and brought them back toward the road where the car was parked.

At that point, Patrick Sonnier told his brother that he feared he would be "sent back to Angola (Louisiana State Penitentiary)" should the victims notify police. David LeBlanc and Loretta Bourque were then forced to lie side by side, face down, and were each shot three times at close range in the back of the head.
