There are so many questions I am going to ask God when I go to heaven, provided I make it there. The bible says that eventually God will explain everything, all our questions will be answered, even ones we're afraid to ask, thinking, "God will kill me if I dare ask that." For instance, how can God allow such blatant evil and cruelty, rape and violation of innocent lives to exist? How can He allow Satan to destroy every innocent life he can sink his filthy talons in?
Noah must have been an exceptionally good man for God to spare him in the flood. Because the world was so evil in those days, too, that God looked down and said, "I'm really sorry I made this world. It's disgusting and I'm going to destroy it." Even God is capable of regret, you see. But maybe if He had killed Noah and the few He let go into the ark, evil and suffering and cruelty might not exist today.
Donnie and Leslie are just two of countless millions worldwide who are stolen, manipulated, and emotionally and physically tortured to serve pervers, satanic desires. Yes rape and trafficking are forms of torture and they leave scars that never fade.
The original actor who would have played Alex was Jeff Daniels, who I have always admired. I was disappointed that he didn't get to do the role, but Tom Arnold really packed en emotional punch. I wondered if Alex's dad or somebody molested him when he was young.
I love the crayola special effects of the beach in Florida where Donnie and Leslie dream to go one day when they can escape their prison, but the sad part is that even after Alex lets the children go, their prison is still in their minds, because they continue to exist as slaves on the streets, using drugs to dull their memories. It's impossible to see this disturbing film and not want to do something for kids like these. It just shows you how when people selfishly and cruelly harm children, the damage is lifelong and irreversible. It will leave you very shaken, but it is an excellent movie in every sense.
