觀眾永遠都比自己想像中的更容易相信戲劇化的內容，而現實生活中才沒有那麼多戲劇化的情況。但是那句一開始的「it is a true story」 真的太過份了。所有的編劇家只敢寫「這是一個改編自真實的故事」，而不敢直接說是真實的故事。 會相信那是真的而沒有戲劇化改寫部分的，都是受誤導的人。Netflix這次該「大條」了。
同意所謂的Netflix商業手法，但很多油土伯及記者不也因此賺了許多流量（比如說Piers）？當然大家目前都不知道全貌，網路肉搜且恐嚇對方的確是有問題。Gadd跟劇中Martha倒也的確如片中呈現的雙方都有一種「致命的吸引力及需要」（雖然他知道不對但卻無法停止就像他一直回去找Darrien一樣），Gadd本身當然不是完美受害者，但仍可能是受害者，一個道德行為不完美的人或是經常做一些不經深思熟慮的事情（一如片中他這樣的描述自己及自我厭惡等等或是為何他一再回去跟那個製片且明知他受侵害？）也許不是經歷過這類創傷的人並不會理解那是什麼感受吧，像我也只是當個驚悚的故事看且嘗試共情但真的無法想像。或許人本身就是很複雜不是只是非黑即白的，但行為上如果觸碰某些底線可能觸法也是事實。只是有趣的是，主持人說現實版的Fiona看起來很聰明「正常」卻有不少美國自稱心理治療師等等RU-vidr認為她有NPD等心理問題，雖然憑這一小時的節目就武斷地判研似乎真的不公允，不過這位女士據說在Twitter一天的發文數的確很多，或許這故事確有戲劇化的做法（有人提出一點：在片尾Netflix的確有disclaimer說戲劇化的處理，而片頭的this is a true story是一種戲劇營造效果，因為故事就是從主角的獨白進行，就像有人說The Blair Witch也是說是true story？）我覺得比較讓人覺得疑竇的或許是他們可以把角色改得更多一點至少不讓大家輕易去網報霸凌現實的Martha，因為現在網路時代要肉搜真的比以前容易多，只是似乎那個Darrien卻隱藏的很好（也許那人很狡猾？不會像Fiona到處公開post，發文也可以設定不公開但是她似乎不是這樣）換個角度來說如果真有發生，也許不是41000封郵件但如果是3000封郵件也夠誇張的了～總之人本來就可能不是一刀切來看，Gadd當然不是天使也做很多不當的事情（比如私下追求某個女生那件事情），但是Gadd也在劇中對自己諸多剖析，他自己說他不是要把Martha呈現為壞人而是一種心理問題（他跟Martha都有），才會有後面那種流淚的場面。但這故事很動容，可能就是因為是真實的故事吧，如果只是作家的想像或許沒那麼深刻。
lol.. interesting conspiracy theory, but comparing people's behavior on and off the show might not be the best example. One thing is certain though, Jessica Gunning's performance deserves an Oscar or Emmy. Fiona has a tendency to build herself up while knocking others down, looks exactly the pattern of Martha's behaviour on the show.
It doesn’t matter how the story twist, show business is the only one being benefit. The whole business is full of sex/drug/violence/murder/crime & dirty money, I start to wonder how many those famous faces sold their soul to devil to exchange for the position they are at now
I found the “it’s a true story” in the opening to be somewhat bold, just like you said, most of these shows say “inspired by” or “based on” a true story. But then I thought for sure Netflix legal team vetted the source or they wouldn’t have greenlit it - It’s Netflix! But I’m not so sure now. 大家一起吃瓜吧 😂
Bruh, I'm not sure why you're so quick to judge that Netflix has not fact checked all the shit Gadd said. It's been said multiple times that they haven't come out to address all the evidence yet. Now it's moving forward to build a court case, don't you think it's less possible for Netflix to come out with evidence now? I'm not saying Gadd is a nice guy, he's obviously also fucked up in the head just from what's in the show alone, but to lay out all of your past history in front of everybody in 2024, I think it's very unlikely for them to not have any precautions before they released the show. I'm more inclined to believe the real life Marth is just deluded af that she convinced herself that she didn't do all that shit when in fact she did. It's not uncommon to see people with mental illness to create illusions where they're in the right, but to put it on a show, it's a different story. And from what I can see in Pierce Morgan's interview, she seemed like a typical pathological liar with a lot of contradicting stories. Frankly I don't even know why she went on the show. And I don't agree with the idea that Netflix hasn't done enough to hide the identity of the people involved. Being a viewer myself. I have no idea even where to begin to search for the real identity of Martha. And there are way too many obsessed manhunting people online nowadays for anyone to avoid being identified. So bro stop obssess over this part.
