Spacey Unmasked

This documentary is media court taken too far. Now that i watched Kevin Spacey on Pierce Morgan i believe the filmmakers owe it to themselves to watch it as well. Many of the subjects here said they were molested by Kevin yet Kevin Spacey showed emails and photos of a person who claimed he was molested who kept sending Kevin nudes and continued communications w him after the alleged occurrence. His brother, who talks as if he has a relationship w Kevin has been dismissed by him having claimed to not have been in contact w his brother for over 30 yrs. Brother leaving the house by age 17 and Kevin a few years later at age 19. Yet the brother speaks as if they've maintained some kind of relationship. Kevin says in his Pierce Morgan interview that he knows the Uber driver who drive him to the interview more than his brother who apparently both have been estranged from each other for over 30 years. So what are we doing here? Who are these people who claimed to have been molested yet sends nude pictures to Kevin after the occurrence. What's going on here? Did these people interviewed get paid? Kevin would like to know as well. Have more questions? So do I. The man was found not guilty in civil and criminal court. The very first thing you should have done is open the documentary w that very insignificant (being sarcastic here) piece of information? Because i myself saw this doc weeks before I saw the Pierce Morgan interview and had no idea he was cleared both in civil and criminal court. . Maybe the filmmakers should watch it as well and update their documentary for accuracy purposes as needed because after watching this doc and his interview i have some major credibility issues about this doc. No one is claiming Spaxey is a saint - neither does he, but this documentary is another step on holding this man to account when he's been cleared by the couets. Most people I'm almost certain are unaware of this making this situation an absolute travesty!

Sexual harassment and sexual assault isn't a joke and neither is Kevin Spacey's predatory lifestyle preying upon hopeful young men looking thanks break in to acting. How many people did Spacey have to pay settlements too? How many signed NDAs in exchange for a settlement?

Spacey reminds me of Darrien in Baby Reindeer. Maybe Kevin Spacey is Darrien?

When I look at Spacey I see a psychopath.

No one should make excuses for Spacey's behavior or criticize the reactions or motives of the men he assaulted. He has been in positions of great power and has misused it horrendously.

Kevin has a predilection for preying upon young men - many - if not most - are heterosexuals.

Before I discuss my thoughts on this two part docu-series, I must state right now that the subject matter detailed here are not easy for anyone to bare witness. If you happen to be a victim of sexual misconduct in any way, it's perhaps better to avoid this series as it chronicles numerous people within the entertainment industry who were assaulted by former acting legend Kevin Spacey. You have every right to not watch this series and anything depicted should be advised through viewer discretion.

Now with that said, where this documentary series succeeds the most in is bringing new insight into many men who were victimized and horribly mistreated by Spacey through sexual desires. Considering that Spacey himself turned out to be a self-loathing homosexual man, the many interviewees shown in the documentary make enough account into how much Spacey's horrendous actions could have stemmed from internalized anger based on what he was. While it does not excuse anything he did, Spacey's growing career seemed like a good coping mechanism to hide away from his traumatic upbringing. The numerous stories chronicled from the people who Spacey mistreated, his own family members and other journalists paint an interesting light into how much made and broke the actor both in terms of ego and reputation.

That being said, as this series is only two episodes long, it feels a little underdeveloped as far as detailing anything interesting beyond the mere allegations and some of Spacey's already spoken about childhood. Because both episodes focus more on the men who Spacey took advantage of, the moments where Spacey's older brother Randy recollects the abuse he endured from their father and certain details like Spacey's ongoing court trials following his MeToo exposure don't feel as intuitive as they should be. Perhaps one or two more episodes could have been made to go over just how much the trials affected Spacey's washed up career, that way we could gain more insight into how the actor felt following these accusations beyond what the general media thought otherwise. Some more anecdotes might have benefited this series in the long run.

Regardless of the flaws, I would still recommend this to anyone who doesn't know much about how appalling of a human being Kevin Spacey was during his career, and arguably now. It's one thing to coast through your life trying to cope with your internalized hatred and loathing, but to take it out on others is never ok and this series at least had the insight to demonstrate that in an unsentimental yet convincing manner. Enter with caution but remember that it's worth it for at least some of the anecdotal information.

If the accounts are correct and to be believed it would apear that Spacey may well have sexually harassed individuals . However the problem with this documenttary isn't that it hasn't been well researched nor is it lacking apparently credible victims and witnesses , its more the fact that its the same old same old . By that I mean it doesn't provide anything new , I feel heartily sorry for the alleged victims but it's the same "news" repeated over and over. Cathartic for them.

But for the viewer it plods along and doesn't do much more than support theories and ideas about Spacey we've heard before and and accepted .

To be fair the insight of his childhood was interesting as was the interview with his brother although that was a little inconclusive.

This is a really well-made documentary. You recognize Spacey is a manipulative predatory narcissist who has no regard for any of his victims or the harm he causes others. He only cares about himself and what he can exploit from others.

When people hear about sexual assault, they tend to believe it is only valid if it involves violence. However, this documentary goes to great lengths to demonstrate that abuse of this nature, even if it is "only a kiss, only a rub, only a touch," is soul-crushing to the victim. It chips away at your sense of worth and dignity, it damages you from within.

The men explain their experiences with this serial predator in raw detail. They have compassion and empathy for their predator, and like many victims do, they seek understanding for their predator, which stems from guilt.

Any woman in the world can relate to the stories these male victims tell about Kevin Spacey and what emotional turmoil they went through from these experiences. There is really no difference at all in the psychological impact of these cases to what women experience. Women go through the same a hundred times throughout their lives, being degraded, humiliated, and treated as if they have no value as humans. I was astonished by how similar the emotional and mental reactions of male victims were to those of female victims.

Whether you are a man or woman, sexual abuse is soul abuse. It harms your psyche more than your body. And this kind of indifference and disrespect for another person is highly hurtful on a deeper level than mere emotions, and damages ones self-worth.

Today, we witness a significant increase in women who have lost their sense of self-respect and will do any humiliation for money or opportunity. Watching this documentary I realised that if we mistreat and degrade people repeatedly in their lives, these victims begin to feel worthless and this begins to shape their lives. And finally, they surrender to this feeling of not being valued or worthy of anything, losing themselves in the process.

We have men like Kevin Spacey, Andrew Tate, Rich Cooper, and others who teach millions of other men to despise, demean, and destroy their male or female targets out of sheer cruelty, with little regard for the long-term effects on their victims' psyche. The social repercussions are long-term severe.

Humans are inherently sensitive creatures. We must not overstep the boundaries of what makes us human and helps us feel connected to ourselves.
