The film features a major twist when Emma reveals to her fianc\u00e9 and two friends that she once planned a school shooting when she was 15 years old, but backed out at the last moment. <\/p>\n
The story is told through memory flashbacks where Curet’s younger character can be seen practising shooting and attempting to create a manifesto video on her webcam.<\/p>\n
Gun violence is a fixture in American life, but the issue is a highly political one.<\/p>\n
The twist has received mixed reviews from critics and started many conversations, with some who have been impacted by school shootings pushing back at the subject being brought into a dark romantic comedy. <\/p>\n
Curet, who was 15 when filming the project, says the subject is “definitely a part of our country” and she “felt like the message needed to happen”. <\/p>\n
But she was conscious of the subject matter and “definitely felt a responsibility to handle the topic with care”, she says.<\/p>\n
However, Curet feels the film is more about “redemption and forgiveness” between Emma and Charlie and whether she can get a second chance. <\/p>\n
“I think there can be some redemption in humans,” she says. <\/p>\n
“And I think a lot of it is, oftentimes, we uphold people to one thing that they did and we kind of let that define them. <\/p>\n
“I think that some humans deserve forgiveness and, maybe, second chances.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The film features a major twist when Emma reveals to her fianc\u00e9 and two friends that she once…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":546553,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-546552","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546552","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=546552"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546552\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/546553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=546552"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=546552"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=546552"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
