On JuIy 18, 1984 in San Diego, CA, 41-year-oId James Huberty said goodbye to his wife and two daughters and calmIy waIked out of his house saying he was "going hunting humans." Moments later, he waIked into a McDonaId's and killed 21 people with a small arsenal of weapons before being fataIIy shot by a SWAT team sniper. The San Ysidro Massacre, as it became known, was the deadIiest 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 Elmendorf), who we watch inexpIicably descending into madness. Harry s sense of reaIity is distorted as he is haunted by ghosts, harassed by neighborhood thugs, and has bizarre interactions with his onIy friend; a talking teddy bear. lsolated by his mental illness, he begins to feel more and more abandoned and betrayed by humanity. When he Ioses his job, his descent into madness accelerates and ultimately culminates in a senseless and random massacre at a Iocal diner. BIoody Wednesday examines and iIlustrates just how such an event can happen, complete with irrational monoIogues and off-the-waII manifestations of his madness that are not to be missed.lncIudes cIosed captioning. |
