Yes, he used every thespian skill he possessed to save his sorry ass.
If it were up to me, I'd test the B53 and vaporize everyone in that courtroom. Blonde bitch included.
“If he’s acting he’s a damn good actor. Other confessions of prisoners that I’ve seen have not had this level of spontaneity - he wasn’t reading a prepared note and his voice was not a flat unemotional monotone - seemed pretty natural.”
I watched the entire video. I “critically” watched it.
It was 100% STAGED. It was 100% scripted, choreographed and rehearsed. It was an academy award performance by Warmbier (under penalty of DEATH).
There was not one second of realism in it. EVERY word, EVERY action was scripted and memorized. It was a “performance”. Rehearsed, rehearsed, and rehearsed again and again.
Just one example, of which I could cite many, was the over use of the scripted word “administration”. For a civilian the word that would have been used is “government”.
Also the over use of the scripted word “beg” was to show an American “begging” over and over and over and over. Not natural.
The banging on the desk, the phony tears, the ready hankie, the faux anger, were all over-rehearsed propaganda.
In fact it was so over-rehearsed that even natural emotional responses had been practiced out. There wasn’t any real emotion in it, NONE.
Even the audience was well rehearsed and scripted.
Some of you may have been fooled, but watch and listen to it again critically, with what I said in mind. Se if you don’t agree.
