The movie versus the real story

[barbara2]

I saw the movie Alpha Dog last night for the second time. I think that the movie portrayed the events as they are known pretty good considering the fact that they had to rely on witnesses that may have been reluctant to tell the whole truth. I'm not sure the casting was done very well. When you look at the pictures of the actual people (like Nick's older brother) and compare them to the actors portraying them, it's like they tried to make them look more hard core.

The real story is very, VERY sad and seems like "wrong place, wrong time" to the extreme throughout the entire 48 hours.

I really like true crime. As for the movie? yes it's very sad that it is TRUE but I think the movie was good. I"m very sorry that the movie was based on a true story. I wanted to see the movie due to Justin Timberlake being in it. And to tell you the truth , When I got the movie on pay per view I had no clue it was based on a true movie. But I truly like the movie. I didn't like the fact it was based on a true story when I found out. But justin Timberlake took my breathe away on the part he played. Meaning I was like this . But it's acting... And IF it's true on how Justin was in the movie I don't remember the real person that was played by justin and IF it is true of how Justin (in the movie) treated that kid/ I don't think he should have went to jail. BUT I don't know if thats how it really went either. But as for the movie Justin was letting him go and that's what justin was told all along. And justin treated him very well. But like I said I don't know IF thats how it really went.
