【13的恐惧】 剧情介绍

After 23 years on Death Row, a convicted murderer petitions the court for his execution. As he tells his story directly to camera, you gradually realise that nothing is quite as clear-cut as it at first seemed. The Fear of 13 is a stylistically daring experiment in storytelling – in effect a one-man play. Part monologue, part confessional and part performance, the film is illustrated with hyper-stylised imagery contextualising a narrative as compelling as any crime drama and features a final, shocking twist that casts his life in a new light. The protagonist carries the film with his charisma and literary turn of phrase recounting his experiences on the wrong side of the law, but David Sington’s film is more than an account of one man’s incarceration; it is both a damning indictment of the US penal system and an emotional meditation on the redemptive power of love and literature.
13的恐惧的短评：
主角的口才超级好
惊艳到我，全程一个人的采访竟然也可以看的惊心动魄。除了故事本身曲折反转之外，情景再现与配音配乐都好像把观众带回了20多年前案发现场，带入他的世界，好像我们都变成了主角。感同身受他所受得苦难，当然主角讲述的也是很生动具体，总之意想不到的好看。强推！
在众多true crime纪录片中，此片只能说中规中矩。但是主人公强大的表达能力和故事叙述能力还是触动了我。读书改变命运。读书改变命运。读书改变命运。重要的事情要说三遍。
"I wait 15 years to cry" 被鸡奸，吸毒，偷车，抢劫，被误判强奸加谋杀，男主在监狱偶然接触阅读，打开新世界，全面认识并接受了自己，并之后邂逅意中人。爱情催生了yarris对自由的向往，在新DNA检验方法出现，证据和检验一而再，再而三地搁浅下，向法官提交了死刑执行申请……15年的等待最总没有辜负
人生如戏。一个坐冤狱的死刑犯，在监狱中认识人性，找到自我和真爱。祸兮福兮？至少冤狱过后，他从一个大字不识几个偷车贼瘾君子变成一个会讲故事的有故事的人。冤狱就变成了一种修行了吧。
就主角一个人在那里讲述，可信度是有点不太好说的。导演能在其他方面补足，商业化电影版的拍摄，让这部3星的纪录片，凭空增加出了1颗星。
LA to London的路上看的，下来等行李的时候男主在我旁边讲电话...电影的最后说这位被误判的“罪犯”出狱后在英国生活...
At least he's become a great storyteller after reading 1000 books
太能说了。阅读改变人生啊朋友们。
画面和声音的处理简单利落有力量 不知是不是向The thin blue line致敬，从选题到剪辑方式都有相似之处 Nick表演式的采访让故事充满了张力 有幸还见到了制作团队还有Nick本人，实在好的片子都是时间的沉淀
A character gold mine. This guy is incredible. Damn it!
It's another testament to the power of storytelling!
"Love and Literature."? You must be kidding me.
读书学习改变命运啊！
除了对司法和正义的思考和感叹以外，更加启发性的部分是书籍如何在数年间改变和重塑一个仅仅小学毕业的囚犯。
置之死地而後生了。影像拍出他的真誠與覺悟，你或許會覺得瘋癲又戲劇，但被死囚如此多年誰能不瘋，即使是普通老百姓生活都很瘋。
