Ted Bundy: Craquer pour un assassin

True, the story revolved around Bundy and the wrath he wrought upon women over 50 years ago in the States.

Flippant or not, the real story to me was about the dignity, sorrow and resurrection of the women Bundy imposed himself upon.

When you look at how the men in this series faired, compared to the women that suffered unimaginable horror in their lives as compared to the men...well, I look up to the heavens and thank God for the gift that he gave us:

Women.

So much stronger than we men and resolute.

There are rare times you take stock of life from entertainment, this was one of those times for me and a reminder of the blessings that women bring to life.

As for Bundy, he got what was coming to him other than, his ending was too swift for my liking. More agony and pain, prolonged, would have made me happy - see that smug, self-important, above it all smile of his wiped clean from his face slowly and deliberately. Unforgivable what he did, an animal has more compassion than he.

Lastly, thank you Amazon Prime for letting me see the worst and best of humanity. Sobering to say the very least.

I don't know why anyone would give this series a low rating. It's remarkable, the intelligence, insights, and self-examination that the victims reveal, especiall the woman and her daughter who were his "family" partners. The daughter is the winner.

I have watched a lot of documentaries about Ted Bundy, What made this so different is that it focused on Ted's victims including Elizabeth and Molly Kendall, Ted's long term girlfriend and her daughter. I appreciated the filmmakers setting the story within its historical context. I especially appreciated hearing from Elizabeth & Molly Kendall. I have often wondered what they were thinking and feeling and I have so much compassion and appreciation for what they went through as well as the families and friends of of the young women Bundy murdered. All were victims of him and as a woman I think we are well served to know how men like Ted use our kindness and willingness to help against us as they prey upon us. I was left thinking a lot about that time as I was only a year or two younger than his most of his Washington State victims and how culture shaped our attitudes, behavior p, fears and expectations. My father was a sociopath and I understand all too well what havoc they wrought on those who come into contact with them. Thank you to the Kendalls and all those who shared their stories. I wish them peace and happiness. I think it would be great if someone would make a documentary on misogyny. It is so prevalent in our culture and it is not well understood.

You know, this documentary was about the women. The women who had their lives turned upside down by a demented killer. This isn't just about Ted...we've all heard about Ted!! We've seen many things done about Ted! It was time for the others to have a voice. Did you know how many victims? Did you know their names? Bet you didn't!! Did you know he had a brother? Bet you didn't. But you did know about Ted, we ALL KNOW about Ted! So get off your soap box!!!! There's no agenda here, except to shed light on the literal hundreds of lives that were affected by this disgusting human!! That's right, hundreds! All the parents, friends, siblings, classmates, bosses...all the people who had to go on living after this man had the audacity to abduct, rape, and beat to death all these women. If you got your little panties in a wad because women were bashing men, then You need to step back and look at the facts!!! They weren't claiming anything that wasn't true! Damn y'all, get it together! No women cops, no women in the FBI, isn't just something they said, those were the rules, and y'all know it. And let's back up and see how well the men did! Wouldn't listen to other cops from other districts and let him escape twice! Allowed to represent himself and get married during trial! Wouldn't listen to resin because "can't be Ted, he's a good guy" their egos were so HUGE and they couldn't be wrong! Well they were. They were all wrong!! Then they let him have sex while on death row. Now I'm not man bashing, just stating the facts. The women who made this documentary didn't ruin it! They were telling a story, their story! Because, I'll say again, we all know everything about Ted, it was time to see and hear from a different angle! You knew what you were getting into when you started it! FALLING FOR A KILLER. That's the title. There's no propaganda there's no lefty message. There's facts, plain and simple! It's disgusting how some of y'all can watch this and still bash women. It's disgusting how y'all are so offended by their stories that you can't just shut your f-ing mouth and watch in amazement how this man ripped lives apart and no one wanted to listen to the women! You are disgusting if you made a comment about how the women messed up "what could've been a great documentary" Strong women still scare little men so badly that they can't ever give credit where it's due. This documentary was a voice, a voice to the women, not to Ted!! Obviously a voice that small men can't bear to hear. Ted had his time in movie after movie and documentary after documentary. It was time for him to shut up and let the others speak! I'll go out on a limb here and say everyone who hates this documentary, knew everything about Ted already, but never even knew the names of all his victims or even how many there were. So I'll say again, shut your tiny mouth and your tiny voice and listen to what's being said! If it was your daughter, your mother, your sister, your wife, wouldn't you want people to know about her? Wouldn't you want people to know her story? Since for decades it's only ever been about the maniacal, disgusting, narcissistic woman hating killer! But still, even after all that, some men still want to stifle the women and accuse them of lying and making stuff up, or having an agenda! What agenda???! Telling the facts of how things were back then!! And obviously still are today by some of yalls comments! You should be ashamed. If you were my son, you would disgust me.

I've watched countless serial killer documentaries, and read countless books, and *this* is how it should be done. Bundy is the story, but he is not the narrative. Rather, he is the common thread that unites the testimonies of victims, survivors, and their families, and it is they who are at the forefront, telling us their experiences in their own words. It's heartbreaking, and compelling, and absolutely top-notch film-making.
