I think Elizabeth handled this production in a really intelligent way. I was blown away by the movie. It wasn't easy to watch. I can certainly understand why she would not want to see it again. It was told so well through her eyes. The part that broke my heart the most was when she's looking at all of the missing children's photos at the shopping market. Trying to find herself and wondering if she's been forgotten. I remember her talking about that so early on, before she even wrote her book. If I ever had the honor of meeting Elizabeth in person I always wanted to tell her that I never forgot her when she was missing!
I agree - Elizabeth is one of the most amazing people I've ever heard or learned about. She is so beautiful, smart, strong. She has an eloquent voice. She is just a beautiful soul; a beautiful human being.
I can't imagine how deeply surreal it must've been for Elizabeth to be a part of this, but I'm so happy to see her doing so well and using what she went through to help others.
Now that I look at the women that acted as Wanda Barzee and skeet ulrich I cant look at them the same because that’s just how good the movie was a showing what happened to Elizabeth smart
Honestly when I first saw the movie I was hoping this was an accurate depiction of her story and triumph for survival. It was a very hard thing to watch but this makes me feel better coming from her that Hollywood didn’t change a detail.
I do hate it when you're talking to someone and they're constantly saying right right right right it's like are you psychic so they just stare at you cuz you already know what I'm saying right
Yeah seriously where is it showing? I have looked it up on here and people are lame enough to title movies on their channel with the name of her movie. I have thought I found it a few times and then when I push play it's not the right movie.
I'm glad that I watched this piece after viewing the movie because she's much more emotionally raw talking about her kidnapping than she was in the film. In the film, I felt she seemed too at peace, almost on the verge of possessing an alter personality because she appeared so ok with the violence--with what happened to her. As religious as she is, she is still a human being and going through that horrific experience at such a young age surely it haunts her subconscious no matter how much love and support she receives from her family.
I thought that when people talk about someone saying they can feel the pain through their voice they were just saying it to let others know that they're hurting. But after watching this I knew they wasn't lying bc I felt the pain in her voice, she's just perfect and strong even if she just pretending being strong.
I don't blame her. What happened to her from the moment he woke her up @ 0200 w/knife to her throat and the rest must've been a hellish nightmare. We should all move on and stop dwelling on it just as she has done. And just pray that no other teen girl has it happen to her. But again, God bless u Elizabeth.
I watched the movie, watched the documentary, read the book, watch almost all of her interviews over and over again, followed her on Instagram, seen her on Twitter, Read her stories and saw 99% of her pictures online and read the comments. I think that I can tell her story more than she can. She is just an amazing and strong human being.
You can have any opinion if you want. I personally find this fascinating and terrifying that our world can be so evil. I hope you can understand it. If not then screw you, I am not a pedo so before you accuse me of one, you should look up the meaning and see how it applies to this conversation.
@@macinelson9259 lol the world isn't evil. This girl didn't go through that much anyway. I mean she had so many opportunities to run away but she didn't. If what she went thru was that bad then she would have tried to run away even if it ment that she would get killed.
You have no right to say she didn't go through that much. She was a child who was exploited to a religious couple. She was terrified and raped every single night for 270 days. She wanted to live even if it meant enduring all the pain. She is the strongest person I have come to see. She didn't want anyone to get hurt so she sacrificed herself to protect the ones she loves.
Every time u tell your story u are reliving the trauma ..either she is highly medicated or numbed or in denial or maybe the money is enough to heal her !
The ending was strange... Because in the police officer interview who asked Elizabeth "Are you Elizabeth Smart?" he mentioned she denied she was until he insisted she was then she finally gave in and admitted she is Elizabeth Smart. However in the movie the actress did not do that, she admitted straight away she is Elizabeth Smart. There seems to be alot of denial and pieces that don't add up. It would be interesting to hear Wanda's version but she isn't allowed to speak about it.... hmm?
Yes, just recently I came to know that she tried to deny it at first. But what if she did?! It’s not the first time that she came face to face with a police officer & felt so scared to say anything or do anything... We don’t need to hear from someone who is a fucked up as Wanda. You can hear it from law enforceme people.
So basically all other victims don’t matter just her bizarre story that is not a typical case . This is worthless . She’s just made it harder for victims to come forward
Yea u haven't been in her place. U don't know how HORRIBLE and HORRIFYING it must've been for an innocent 14 year old kid to go through something like that everyday for the next 9 months. Bullshit? Seriously? That is what you have to say about a once 14 year old rape victim? You're even worse than her captors....
How is getting kidnapped with a knife to her throat & her kidnapper threatening to kill her & her family if she say's a word bullshit. You take her place then & endure 9 month's of repeat rape & abuse at the hand's of 2 crazy psychotic people.
All the opportunities she had 2 free herself At the library she could have left with the officer..in the mountain of California she could have fled..was alone a whole week.. The 3 often went to town..parties, stores.. I feel sorry for the parents..E. NOT smart !
Ces Marie Synnott if you watched he threatened to kill her family if she did anything when police came towards her at the library the woman would grab her to keep her quite. She was 14-15 and was scared she wanted her family to be safe not murdered by the lunatic that took her. In the mountains she couldn’t have ran either. That lady who was the 1st wife was insane too and had weapons to kill her if she tried to run.
Seriously rude! You don't even know the story if your going to make such a rude comment. Just like Lilly said he brain washed her and his wife was helping him or the claimed 1st wife. So she thought they had friends who would kill her family if they got caught, so if they were in jail someone would kill them. They were liars of course and really had no friends to help them. But were manipulators and liars. If you know the story you'd also know that she was starving that whole week. Would you walk down a mountain if you were starving and to weak to hike? They were on a hill it sounded like during the time he disappeared for a week. And the 1st wife was there guarding here during that whole week even if she could get off the mountain.
Julie W. That is what got her found. The second time one of the policemen noticed they were talking for her. So he pulled her aside realizing she was scared of the kidnappers. Totally what should have happened in the library.
Ces Marie Synnott He said he had people surrounding her house ready to kill her family. What do you not understand!! Why would she want to have suffered all that just to make her family suffer?
I've heard with kidnappers that they can not just physically keep you in line, but phsycologically. Same way with jaycee Duggard. I don't think any one of us who has never experienced something like that could predict what we would do. Especially as a young teen.

I was teary eyed already from the interviews but your comment made me break down
@@whutdafeq1715 Bless you

Sometimes the person who the movie is about is usually dead.

Elizabeth- girl your highlight is looking sooo good!
It was a well done for for such a horrifying story. The actress looks just like her!
Elizabeth Smart, is incredibly smart.
Honestly when I first saw the movie I was hoping this was an accurate depiction of her story and triumph for survival. It was a very hard thing to watch but this makes me feel better coming from her that Hollywood didn’t change a detail.
I loved the movie, so sad but so touching. to think that people go through experiences like hers.
She is such a strong survivor!
She is amazing 🙌🙏
FP FROM RIVERDALE, anywho what an amazing woman
right right right right............... yeah...... right
Amy aren't you supposed to be taking care of Charlie?
I know, right?
Always got to be complainers no matter what.
I do hate it when you're talking to someone and they're constantly saying right right right right it's like are you psychic so they just stare at you cuz you already know what I'm saying right
raini rodriguez stan hehehe I know!
I love the movie. Very terrifying and made me cry after she got kidnapped. :(
mrsjamat86 where did u watch it
Yeah seriously where is it showing? I have looked it up on here and people are lame enough to title movies on their channel with the name of her movie. I have thought I found it a few times and then when I push play it's not the right movie.
Jeanne Evans lifetime movie “I am Elizabeth smart”
you know why she survived and still plays the harp its because she is an ANGEL
She is my brave, smart, kind idol ❤️

71st!!!
What a wonderful woman Elizabeth has become.
I saw it & I cried for her.
Hero Paws same ugh it made me sick and it made me feel so bad because she found things to be grateful for even in that hellish nightmare
Such a beautiful soul! Darkness into the light!
Fp from Riverdale is here aww wow. Good movie btw. It's so touching
she is such an amazing and beautiful person!
what an amazing woman super proud Elizabeth! MS Smart is more accurate!
Elizabeth: *breathes *
Person: yeah right right right right yeah
still I cry😭 a lot from what she has been happens exposed to. Criminals are monsters have no hearts💔
The woman who portrayed Wanda Barzee was "The Grave Digger" from "Bones"
a deeply terrifying character, guess she’s got it down
Elizabeth You are great thank you !

take a shot every time this interviewer says “right” or “yeah”
"Right"

Creep
She or he aren’t a creep. I find the story interesting and it helps with my writing of my novel and it makes me see the world differently.

"I Am Elizabeth Smart".
Lizfan2 thank you
@@jessicawilliams9931 GOOD MOVIE!+
God bless you you Elizabeth🤍🕊🙏
Jesus loveyou 🙏🕊
Right right right
Every time u tell your story u are reliving the trauma ..either she is highly medicated or numbed or in denial or maybe the money is enough to heal her !
right
I wouldn’t have even wanted to watch it once.
Kylie Roth understandable but she says why she wanted to see it
Yeah.....right.....yeah....ok......yeah.....yeah..haha...yeah yeah.........wow
Who finds it funny that Lifetime made this movie?
I'm honestly not the least bit surprised.

Wanda wasn’t the victim. Her story doesn’t matter
Fp can’t relate.
Ahhhhhh 3rd comment😂😄😄😄😄
I think she's had a little too many drugs just before this interview.
Or she's nervous to talk about a traumatic event in her life? She seemed fine to me.
+TabortoothTiger me too. Some ppl just like to act like dipshits sometimes 😒. Not you. The other one
James Mac Neil she probably gets all the Xanax she wants.
@@kkandsims4612 Lmao. Yes. Sad though, all in all. My heart goes out to her. Awful how women get abused. I treat my girlfriend like a queen.
I am not a big fan of her it’s not her fault.
Who?!
I absolutely feel awful about what happened to Elizabeth, but she just rubs me the wrong way in interviews. And why the hell does she have an accent??
DonaBologna Huh? No accent that I call hear.
How does she “rub u the wrong way”
Her husband is Scottish so it could be that
Megan Seppi to me, she comes across as a bit dramatic and an entitled brat. And appears to be trying to capitalize on or gain fame from her abduction.
Jeanne Evans maybe it's just the way rich brats talk then 😂
So basically all other victims don’t matter just her bizarre story that is not a typical case . This is worthless . She’s just made it harder for victims to come forward
awwww poor lil baby couldn't play herself..this whole story is complete bullshit!
