So I was in the mood tonight to watch something different and I found this movie called “Trust” (like you didn’t know already, it’s in the fucking title). What’s this movie about? Well, I actually liked it because even though it’s a drama, it’s a current movie that has this girl that just turned 14 and she posts all the time online with her phone and her new laptop that daddy just bought her (thanks, Dad). We’re reminded of her chats early on and throughout the movie because the fucking shit pops up on the screen like a backdrop of teeny-bopper-talk, enough to make my head explode. No, really. My head actually exploded. Matter of fact, I just got back from the hospital after being there for about 10 minutes while the doctors re-attached my skull fragments by using an old school sewing machine. You had to see it, it was a nice machine from the 1930′s I think, it was Singer if I recall. Nonetheless, the procedure was much more entertaining than this movie.
Now don’t get me wrong (or maybe it’s the beer in my system right now – and thanks to spell checking!), this movie is actually good, but it’s just that after the pedo-rape takes place, the movie goes downhill. I thought it was pretty entertaining that you have this girl that is constantly chatting with this guy named “Charlie” and he’s supposed to be her age – 14. Later on she sends Charlie a picture of herself so they can get to know each other a little more, and then she asks him for a picture back, which of course is the right thing to do. Does Charlie send her a picture of himself? Nope. Well not right away. He first tells her “I have something to tell you”, which in relationship-talk means “I’ve been fucking lying to you for the past 2 months but I’m sure you’ll understand my explanation because we connect on so many levels and you just GET me”.
“But I LOVE him, don’t you get it?”
Charlie reveals to this chick that he’s actually 20. She’s puzzled, asks WTF but then she bites and goes for it. What an idiot! Anyway, at that point he knows he has her trust so he goes ahead and sends her a picture of himself, which is totally not him. Or if it is, it’s from goddamn 20 years ago. A while later they’re chatting again and (I wasn’t paying attention) for some reason he’s all “I have something to tell you” (again). He then tells her he’s not 20, but 25. So this guy is not only a pedophile, but a constant liar! Run baby, run!
Of course she doesn’t run, she’s a little worried but hey, it can’t be that bad since he “GETS” you. You guys connect all over the place and on so many levels, if a scientist was measuring the energy coming from the both of you, his energy-measuring device would implode from all the energy energizing through it, like when God created lightning and stupid people.
She then meets Charlie at a mall, she’s waiting patiently and then some old dude (looks like he’s in his 40′s but the cops said 30′s, WTF that’s an insult) shows up and he’s all “Hey there”. She’s weirded out and then realizes “holy shit this is Charlie and he’s totally old”. Turns out this guy played her for the past few months just to get in her pants, and he does just that after their meetup. Well, not in her pants, but you know what I mean, they take off to a motel and roll around on the bed even though she’s totally against it… or is she?
“Are you sexually active? You can trust me”
After this, the movie takes a giant #2 and completely lost me. I kept hoping the father would find the pedophile and torture him slowly but what we’re left with is a 14 year old that is confused and actually standing up for the rapist! She totally wants to be with this guy and goes head to head with her parents over the whole thing. Ugh. Typical.
Fast forward to the end, everyone’s crying, the father included, and then guess what happens? Nothing! Fucking nothing! The credits start rolling and I’m going “dude, WTF”.
Not recommended. And if you still want to see this movie, go stick your head inside your ass instead, whatever that means.
