The banality of evil

posted 13 years ago by BluPheonix

I think some people are missing a great point in this film.

The banality of evil. When good men don't stand up against evil...

Mary(and grandma) couldn't have gotten away with what she did had not people with morals,namely the girl who stole the bracelet; failed to uphold the truth.

This film is AWESOME! Definitely an addition to my top 40 list of classic films.

Netflix ROCKS for classic cinema! I highly recommend netflix, Canada , but more so netflix USA.

I watched the Bad seed, after a recommendation from a John Waters special, he ws talking about the little girl in that movie and how evil she was, lol, So you know I had to see it.. The end of that film is satisfactory!
