ALL SPOILERS SO DONT READ IF DIDNT WATCH: First of all this tragedy is horrible. But people won’t like my thoughts. Mark started it and wrote the story. So at first I’m like ok Andy got dragged in as much as I feel bad for Mark, he asked for this and Andy didn’t. Mark wanted to make this a thing. But then as I watched, everything changed. It’s so tragic. I completely am horrified with what 8 y/o Andy dealt with those few days. But as you see in the film, Andy moved on with his life which is great. But never talked about it til Mark made his article. What he dealt with out there for 3 days was def traumatizing and horrific. However, as I was watching I felt like Andy was playing to camera. I felt like he kept trying to cry but no tears. I felt like the nurse wrote him a letter saying he did all this but he had no general connection to it and just kept repeating it like he was on cue. I didn’t expect to think that because of this tragedy but I did and as movie went on I realized why. My sister and I have been through similar tragedy, not close to this but still could be an doc. So I dealt with it like my life was paused and think about it daily. Ruined me. My sister was like, yeah this is horrible. Just u and me now. But life goes on. Andy was traumatized of course but still had normal life. Mark did not. And yet his emotions were real. Normally I’d be like, oh the person that wrote it just wanted attention because I read lots memoirs and tbh there so much self love. Mark is so opposite. When they visit house you see the pain in him. Andy’s just like oh yeah. Happy. Because and not against him but he still got to live a normal life and mark not only lost his family, but his body and dreams, goals, fun. Then we get to Andy’s apology and I’m like ok finally and I appreciate that. But is it for camera? This man lost everything and it takes til your 60 or whatever to like finally apologize and talk about it and not say - why you bring this up? With your no legs and guilt. This is one of the first times I am looking at someone that wrote his story where maybe ppl wanted to not discuss it and I’m like mark. Yes. U deserve to tell your story. U deserve documentary, movies everything. Even when ur brother apologized FINALLY, you blame yourself oh u musta been shook I’m supposed to be guidance and can’t go swimming. Like BRO. you are the nicest most humble man and I love your wife. And I know this bond you have to Andy forever and love you for that. But like, stop making excuses. Let him apologize and say thank u. You’re an inspiration and humble and have real hurt not just for cameras. Watching u ski omg I’m not gonna skip my work out this thanksgiving lol. I’m not trying hate on your brother because he’s like my sis and he def went through something. But you are just so authentic and I’ve never did movie review before but hope you know that I’m cynical as hell bc been through so much. Hate victim stuff. But you are so real and you need tell your story because you got f%cked. And I’m sorry if hard on your bro but like he just feels like ok this happened but I’m over it and your life is reminder and omg I’m rambling. But I’m just so sad but proud of you. So much love to you.
