Paradise lost 2 revelations full#

I am unsure if it is due to the methods used to transfer this film to disc or not, but some of the feature has a digital haze present, which sometimes blows into full pixilation, though not to an extreme level. I saw no problems with color or contrast elements, nor with the source materials, but this is still a flawed visual effort. As this is a documentary, the image isnвЂ™t as refined as a normal feature film, but for the most part, the film is well presented. Paradise Lost 2 is presented in a full frame transfer, as intended. If you viewed Paradise Lost and were reached on any level, I highly recommend this sequel, as it packs the same kind of punch, but a much harder one in the end.

As even more holes in the prosecutionвЂ™s case tear wide open, it seems like most people still donвЂ™t mind, so long as the kids who wore all black are still behind bars. It becomes harder and harder to understand how these pieces of evidence are ignored, if nothing else. As years have passed, new evidence has come to light, new events surround Mark Byers, and a new look was being given to the case, perhaps a hopeful one for the accused. I had doubts about how Paradise Lost 2 could live up to the original, but as powerful a film as it was, this sequel is even more so. It presented both sides of a controversial case, one which the media had shown only one side of, which made in an invaluable tool for us outsiders, as we could see both sides shown without bias. The original Paradise Lost was a powerful film, one that evoked emotion in anyone who watched, no matter whom the viewer believed. A lot of new doors were opened with the original Paradise Lost feature, but even more remained open and even after Paradise Lost 2, some still have yet to be closed. In this time period, weвЂ™re taken through various hearings, interviews with countless people involved in the case, and new footage taken with Mark Byers, as he showcases more of his strange antics. In this follow up piece, the filmmakers revisit most of the prominent players, from the three convicted young men to Mark Byers (father of one of the murder victims), but also some new faces, such as the denizens of the media around the case, a support group who stands behind the accused men, as well as a new expert looking into the case. As new hearings took place, new experts were brought in, and some new evidence surfaced, filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky returned to West Memphis, to make Paradise Lost 2: Revelations. In addition, the film had sparked a lot of peopleвЂ™s minds and in some cases, rallied support for the accused. (TVMA, 133 min.) The Texas Documentary Tour is co-sponsored by the Austin Film Society, the UT Department of RTF, The Austin Chronicle, KLRU-TV, and SXSW Film.After Paradise Lost offered a look into a triple murder case in West Memphis, Arkansas, a lot of unanswered questions remained.

This should be a fine example of advocacy filmmaking.

Byers reveals to the filmmakers a great deal of disturbing circumstantial evidence: a knife that fits the description of the murder weapon, a mysteriously deceased wife, and many curious faux pas. In this follow-up documentary, Byers speaks openly with the filmmakers, who also follow the prisoners' appeal process (which was ultimately denied by the same judge who presided at their conviction). The teens still remain in prison and the father of the murdered tot, Mark Byers, remains a suspect in the eyes of Berlinger and Sinofsky. Paradise Lost 2: Revelations now returns to the scene of the crime. The original film made a case for the teens' innocence and also raised doubt about the alibi of the father of one of the second-graders. These teens were depicted by the prosecutors as satanic cult worshippers and were found guilty largely on the basis of this accusation. In 1996, this pair filmed Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills, a disturbing documentary about three teenagers who were convicted of brutally murdering three second-graders in Memphis, Arkansas.
