If I was Carlina/ Netty......


I feel bad for her after watching the movie, I really do. If I found my birth parents and found out the truth about the woman that was "my mom" I would choose to be with my birth parents. I know it was confusing for her and then she was around the rest of this crazy woman family and grew close to her "aunt" (which I coudn't stand in the movie it seem like she was trying to make excuses for her sister). Despite the money that the real parents spent if I was Carlina I would still choose my mother money comes and goes and I would be happy to be in the arms of my parents again. It has to be scary knowing that if this woman was really psycho she could have killed me or worse its a good thing that didn't happen.

I would stay with whoever raised me.

i can understand that birth family are like strangers ...a different way of life, different interests...etc it will be weird, like they add my blood but I don't know them

I doubt if i found out I was abducted and thrust into this new family I would probably be scared, freaked out and would detach from them because I have out grown a need for them

I thought that the aunt was an interesting and mainly sympathetic character. She may have been the most compromising person that Carlina had to deal with. The aunt had done nothing wrong and was in danger of losing a niece that she loved.
