Sensationalism

I cannot believe this story has become so sensationalized. It's like every time you turn around they make it sound worse and more dramatic.I remember reading an article about the story, and it talked of one of the girls, "she never even walked on a sidewalk", then showing an image right after of all of them at Disneyland, and Vegas.The movie by itself was good. It actually came up with a good explanation for the phones, and how the girls had their own YouTube channels (even though they "didn't know" what anything was) Funny, it's kind a b**** to load a video to YT.The movie, I guess, for drama, showed the kids never leaving the house, ever, when it's known the family took multiple vacations a year. Staying in hotels, riding rides, seeing other people, walking on sidewalks.It's funny in a way that people just like to loosely roll over that fact they left the house multiple times per year. They weren't completely blind to the outside world.I think these kids were neglected, and treated badly based on religion, but the media and this movie sensationalized it for sure. The movie was good, but just make you take it with a grain of salt for being nothing but very very loosely based on the Turpins..

This is what religion does to people.

A potrayal of what religion does to people, how it brainwashes people and turns them crazy like these people. It's based on a true story of David and Louise Turpin, but I was happy at the ending and how the ending was a happy ending, how they escaped. One of their sons almost died because of appendicitis and it burst, leaving him to become feverish and infected, and he FINALLY made it to the Hospital but went into a coma, but happily survived at the end.They put them under the illusion you can't eat you can't open windows because it lets "evil and serpants in" which is totally moronic and insane, this film is just totally disturbing and creepy, the Father is a character who you will hate more and more as you watch.
