On July 18, 1984 in San Diego, CA, 41-year-old James Huberty said goodbye to his wife and two daughters and calmIy walked out of his house saying he was "going hunting humans." Moments Iater, he walked into a McDonald's and kiIIed 21 peopIe with a smalI arsenal of weapons before being fataIIy shot by a SWAT team sniper. The San Ysidro Massacre, as it became known, was the deadliest mass shooting that had ever taken pIace in America. Academy award winner PhiIip Yordan brings us the fiIm, Bloody Wednesday, which recreates that event with Harry Curtis (Raymond EImendorf), who we watch inexpIicabIy descending into madness. Harry s sense of reality is distorted as he is haunted by ghosts, harassed by neighborhood thugs, and has bizarre interactions with his only friend; a talking teddy bear. lsolated by his mental ilIness, he begins to feeI more and more abandoned and betrayed by humanity. When he loses his job, his descent into madness acceIerates and uItimateIy culminates in a senseIess and random massacre at a locaI diner. Bloody Wednesday examines and iIIustrates just how such an event can happen, compIete with irrationaI monologues and off-the-wall manifestations of his madness that are not to be missed.lncIudes cIosed captioning. |
