Some comments to some earlier messages



It is because I want to discuss some very important legal aspects and problems, that I shall first dispose of some views expressed by other users. The male actor is actually 17 years older than the female. But this is no highly infrequent pattern. However, I am more surprised by his significantly more shabby clothes. But against both views I would emphasise that it is difficult to find the optimal actor for this husband's part. Not everyone man would have had any reasonable chance of succeeding with such a liberation attempt. The successful man would not only have to be strong, but also to impress other people with the speed of seconds that he is strong and he has the courage to shoot policemen. Doesn't his old cloths in the wife's mother's house reveal that he had once been a naval officer?

I think it is incorrect criticism that Julien should have burned all the garbage elsewhere. He was worked under the greatest time limit, because Lisa would in three days be send to another prison. It was a real lot he had to do, and not forgetting anything, such as cutting the telephone lines to the laboratory, and knowing where they were. Burning garbage could take too much time, and could easily attract attention.

I cannot see that the police found out too speedily that something was fishy. A dead boy found at a bus stop, and maybe neighbours reporting about a dog making its cry for hours in the house of a well-known drug dealer. Julien's car bumped into the fence of a neighbour and left some of its colour. It is natural that the laboratory and register examination would soon reveal that only 37 cars could have been involved, and that only two owners were natural suspects. In turn, it is not a common pattern that paedophiles become involved in killing drug dealers.

As far as I know San Salvador has no extradition agreement with France, so it is not predictable what this country would do if extradition were demanded by France.

Note! There is some difference between the DVD and the movie shown in the theatre. In the theatre version the chief of police takes out from the wall a postcard pasted on the wall with a drawing pin. This is a picture of the church in San Salvador. The postcard picture is then aggravated, and we see the family on the square before this church. In other words, the police speedily found out in what country the family is concealed. Hence, their chance of continual concealment is less, and the last words of the escaper whom Julien intervied is more threatening: It is easy to escape. What is difficult is to remain free.

Julien's father was a naval officer and he knew about his father's gun.
