It's a great and quirky (to me) movie about the real-life Leopold and Loeb case. All those movie questions I asked -- I like all of the movies I asked about. :)
I'll get to responding to more answers later today or tonight I hope. I need to get some other stuff done, though I don't feel like it. Thanks for answering, Rooster! :)
(Yeah, it's not, ha! -- it's about the real-life Leopold and Loeb case. But I found it a great movie, too. It explores a bit more the relationship between the two.)
All those movies I asked about - - I like them all for various reasons. :)
Oh I have to see it now. I am all about that case. I have read so much relating to it and have probably seen at least 5 movies. This would be so interesting. I'll let you know what I think when I get to it.
You're welcome! Yeah, that case was sad and fascinating. I hope you like the movie -- it was interesting in weird ways to me, sort of mesmerizing -- well, not to be morbid, the two lead actors added to the attraction. :)
Well, that is what made me kind of think it was not really accurate because the two who were the killers were not hot like that.
But maybe it is easier to see what they saw if we look at what they think they looked like. Maybe they thought they were glamorous and sexy like those two. But I truly doubt it. They were "pseudo rabid intellectuals" and maybe they were attracted to each other. I cannot remember that part. I know they were partners in crime and best of friends. What a couple of dysfunctional, toxic cretins.
I'm warped -- I've seen photos of the actual "L and L" guys -- I find them very attractive! Ha! I've also always said that I would have gone home with Jeffrey Dahmer in a heartbeat (that is, before he gained all that weight after he was arrested).
You know the "L and L" case well -- your descriptions here are what I remember, too.
And "Swoon" the movie -- you may be right -- it sort of has a focus of the possible romanticism that may have been between the two. Production-wise I find the movie well-made, too. But I admit it's been a long time since I watched it.
