It’s possible to tell a gripping story without treating real people’s fates as spoilers.
, but only as the story reaches this point. Just as the need to know what happens becomes unbearable, McGann cuts to a shot of Zecchini, her body still and silent, her eyes brimming with tears as if she’s reliving the incident along with us. It’s a stunning and powerful revelation, and yet the moment after it washed over me, I started to feel uneasy about it. It would be one thing if Zecchini had simply declined to take part in the film.
It turns out that not only was Zecchini interviewed for the film but took part in reenactments, including returning to the Blue Hole. McGann has explained that keeping the present-day Zecchini out of most of the movie was partly a matter of limiting the audience to what the people in the movie knew at the time it happened. But she also says it was a matter of making the movie more “,” and that’s where it becomes difficult to go along with what it does not seem unfair to label as the ruse.
