You've probably got an opinion on it, whatever side of the fence you're on.... "Amber Heard's a liar, Johnny Depp's the victim" or vice versa, this trial has put some bigger questions on the stand; who did that poo on Johnny's side of the bed? Who smelt it dealt it?....Or who denied it supplied it and where can we drink mega pints? 🍷
But we think there's something else here that is far more fascinating... with the rise in popularity of true crime documentaries and the 'docu drama' have we gone too far? Why is this an issue? What does it say and do to our culture as a whole? To watch a live trial, celebrity or not we have moved into a new, perhaps disturbing realm of turning other people's trauma into entertainment. What does your culture do for you? @russlebrand
When real courtrooms feel like a film, when we don't know what's real anymore, have we gone right past 'too far' and can we get back? Are we escaping from reality or are there so many realities we don't know what's real and who to trust any more? @adamcurtis
Many are arguing that the outcome of this trial is the end of the #metoo movement and a big step back for victims of domestic abuse. But is this judging purely on gender? And shouldn't we be talking more about mental health issues and addiction? We created the girl boss, now feel her wrath.... we also created the megastar, but now it's time to look behind Oz's curtain and realise everyone is human and we are all equal - yes Johnny ☠️ and Elizabeth 👑 looking at you....
In our current climate of the strong reign of individualism, people are more obsessed with themselves and reality based anything has soared in popularity in recent years. Watching a real-life courtroom in real-time on YouTube no longer feels weird. And perhaps this is our biggest issue that we need to address with ourselves. Are you happy to be here or is this addiction? If so, why is this addictive viewing? And do we have any integrity or morals where empathy is concerned?....
Spoiler Alert! We cover plot points from the Good Fight and Netflix documentary Our Father.
Trigger warning: we delve into topics including domestic abuse, sexual abuse and mental health.
