This is a very bad castle

[nogodnomasters · 5/10 · 16 January 2018]

Kim Stahlworth (Nicola Bertram) is a 43 year old detective who is desired by members of both sexes half her age. Her daughter Tracy (eye candy Vida Guerra) likes to smoke crack and allow young homeless men to come home and take a shower. Mom, who is so eighties, disapproves of her daughter's behavior, driving her to wander the street as a homeless waif until she is picked up by the white van.

The van is controlled by a rich man who picks up homeless girls, you know all those homeless babes who look like movie stars, to pick, eat, or fertilize strawberries and there seems to be this prostitution thing developed near the end. The irony and theme of the film is that everyone knows homeless people were being abducted, but the cops didn't care enough, or gave it a wink and a nod. Now that a detective's daughter is endangered, it becomes a problem, a statement on how homeless people don't matter.

The film starts off pretty good, but has scenes that go nowhere such as the cops dressing up as the homeless. They really didn't know what to do with Tracy as a captive and the the scenes were awkward. Kim, searching for Tracy lacked cohesion as she deals with a mean boss and a woman colleague who wants to help in all sorts of ways. It seems like the cut important scenes.

Movie with a Mission

KC and his dad, John Amos, are on a mission to raise awareness of the stark reality of human trafficking via KCs new feature film, Mercy for Angels. I very much respect them for their vision and goals. KC as an independent filmmaker with a strong visual/film art background does some interesting maneuvers with this film that takes unexpected twists and turns, and empowers big and little girls. And of course, John gives a stellar performance as 'God'.

Sometimes we have to take risks in order to break through to the next level of life and living. Mercy For Angels gets to the point in original/non-conventional ways. And quite frankly, I find that very refreshing. We as humans tend to get ourselves stuck in the comfort zone of molds laid out before us. I say, let's do our own thing, make authentic art, take control of our lives, end crazy things like human trafficking, and begin to think in new and healthy ways, and put smiles back on the faces of young children. We can do it.

With respect to those caught in the snares of modern day slavery, I believe we can save them, if we pull together. But we first must become aware that this cancerous human condition exists, though we may not want to face it taking place in our own communities.
