I don't know the name of the movie that started it. But it was on Sunday evening, and on Sun TV here in the US, and it was absolutely terrible. For those who are interested, here's a brief recap of the story- There's a guy. He's having an extra-marital affair. He marries this woman and orders her to basically put up with it. When she refuses he tries to kill her. The woman's younger brother walks in. He captures evidence on his cell phone showing the hunsband attempting to murder. When the police come, the three of them pretend that nothing happened. The woman tries to walk out. Then her brother makes her go back (says he won't see her on the street.. blah blah). He threatens the husband blah... blah... if you hurt a hair on her head types... long story goes on forever- in the end the husband repents. Goes to jail, promises to return a changed man.
But here's the thing. It was completely revolting to me that it was portrayed that the woman's best shot at life was with her (murderous) husband. What is wrong with these people??? Ok, its just a movie- fine. But don't tell me that people aren't influenced by the stuff they see on screen. And how many families tell their daughters/sisters to go back to their abusive husbands and put up with it, hoping that things will change. And look to stupid movies like these, and tell themselves that someday the guy will repent, he'll become a better person.
Who cares if he becomes a better person! Why on earth should this poor lady suffer until he finds the light. Let him find the light on his own time. She should walk! And when he goes to jail or gets his comeuppance, chortle gleefully and go on with her life.
