White Bear: What is right? What is wrong?

In my perspective, I found the film White Bear to be extremely disturbing. My real question is, what exactly was disturbing about it? The fact that the woman contributed to such a horrifying crime? Or, the way that society is punishing her for committing that crime? Or, the people who enjoyed being a part of someone getting tortured? And how would you defend your statement?

Is it fair to continuously torture a person, even if they did such a horrible thing to a little girl? Or, was there a better way that the situation could have been handled, such as lock her up in jail for the rest of her life?

In my honest opinion, I feel like torturing the woman was honestly fair. I know, I may sound heartless to some of you that think otherwise, but what about the little and innocent girl who did absolutely nothing to deserve this? She didn't know what was coming to her... and I am sure that she didn't know how to defend herself either. What does that say about us if we were to defend or say that she doesn't deserve to feel the same torture, and maybe not even close to the same amount of torture that the little girl went through?

On another note, I think that the people who enjoyed being a part of that woman being tortured were a bit ignorant for it. I would like to know what you guys think their reason/reasons were for participating in this? Was it to get back at her? Was it to stand up for the little girl?

I believe they did it, because they would want someone to do the same if it was their child. Also, they don't really torture the woman, they're just honest with her by calling her a murderer and telling her to go to hell for her crime. The worst thing that I recall some of them doing was throwing something that splashed red to the clear box thing she was in.

In regard to her committing the crime, I feel that some people may argue about her not actually being the person who committed the crime, considering the fact that she told the judge that her fiance pressured her into doing so, as well as was put under his spell, but that doesn't void the fact that she was still an accomplice. She filmed the little girl being tortured by her fiance for his amusement. That is literately telling us that she allowed for the little girl to be tortured. She could have stopped it, she could have done something about it, she could have told somebody, but instead she decided to film a little girl being wrapped in a bag, thrown into the forest, and burned. Her fiance got away with it by killing himself, but what about her? She doesn't deserve to get any special treatment nor sympathy even if she was pressured into filming. There's always something you can do about things like this, and she choose to do the wrong thing by not finding a way to avoid this disturbing crime.

I agree, she could have done something to stop it but she decided not to. SO i agree with you that she deserves what is happening to her.

I mean, yeah she could've stopped it from happening but then again her mind gets scrambled to the point of being almost wiped entirely. I personally don't care what she told the judge, because that was before the forced-amnesia. It wasn't just her memories of the crime that were erased - it was her entire person.
