The 'Ocean' video proves the fake




In this documentary we expect the "Ocean" video as the moment when everything will be decided.

But, haven´t you noticed...? it is an EDITED video!

When the "honour of the family" is at stake, as Marla´s mum says, a video like this has no point anymore! What is needed is a REAL TIME video of a painting. Kind of 24-hr "Big Brother" thing. Not very commercial, obviously, but a PROOF that is URGENTLY needed!

But when we get to see this video... to me it was the definite proof that someone assists her at some points. Probably her dad, quite possibly without her mum knowing.

As for the quality of "Ocean" itself... I think that if a 4 yr old can do that on her own, it´s an incredible achievement. But there are other paintings "by" her that seem substantially better.

If, as the director said, a good amount of footage could be recorded and gathered... UNEDITED, that would leave no doubt as to whether this is a dodge or a genuine art genius. Which is what people are wondering.

Because the entire style, and even her basic technique, was different.

Why are people so bloody gullible?

I suspect a lot of the "better: paintings were done with help from dear old dad.
