I get how the doctor and Marla were teaming up and likely paying off the dude that runs the home to do what she wants. I know the judge was just manipulated by her.
But how does the judge not allow these wards no contact with their actual families? I am baffled by that. The dude at the beginning, how would the judge not allow him to see his own mother??!
yeah, it does sound crazy, but I'm pretty sure if the story portrayed it, then there must be based on some real cases or that would be a fatal flaw
shareYeah, and how can a person drugged, put in a car, thrown into a lake, come out alive and well? It's a movie.
Why does every Van Damme's enemies always stand there taking his beautiful flying roundhouse in slow motion? Why don't they duck? Or at least block?
Why does John Wick can fall down from a 5 stories high building, hitting everything on the way, and be still wake up and walk away?
So the story can progress.
None of those things are anything like what I was I was questioning. That was a good grasping though.
shareYou already know the answer of your question. It is because it's a silly movie. The court proceedings were highly unrealistic just like other stupid things that happens in this and countless other movies.
How would the judge not allow him to see his own mother? Because the writer said so.
The movie was only half steeped in realism.
It really was a comic book movie
I call it "court-fu" as in unrealistic gunplay n "gun-fu" movies (Equilibrium, Wanted, John Wick, The Matrix, etc.)
It's obviously unrealistic. The characters have superpower / super ability in court proceedings. Just as John Wick has a super ability in shooting guns.
I was doing some google searches and apparently these things really happen.
But I agree, it's highly illogic ...
