DVD Reviews of Mockingbird Don't Sing
DVD Review: I Am Hoping Genie is Still Alive
Summary: 4 Stars
I have this movie on a homemade video tape and I don't know how long I have had it. I have watched my tape a few times over the past 10 years or so and frequently wonder why there was never a follow-up on how Katie (Genie) did after being separated from Ms. Curtis, the only person who seemed to be able to reach her. Katie's childhood was certainly not geared to raising a normal child, chained to a potty chair and fed by an abusive, mentally-ill father who barked at her and a mother going blind from cataracts who did nothing to stop the abuse. I couldn't help drawing similarities between her daughter's living conditions and those of a character on a Star Trek episode titled Miri played by Kim Darby. One poster called the mother "spooky" and I thought that fit her to a Tee. However much the movie's depiction of Katie's abuse and linguists' inability to teach her language, I still wish it had ended with a means viewers could use to find out in later years how Genie was able to survive in our world. I did search the 'net and came up with: Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2003 19:48:16 +0000. From: Sandino L <delfin@garza.uatx.mx>
Subject: Genie. Thanks to all those who replied to my query (Linguist 14.677) about Genie. I was offered interesting ideas, but most important, I received a mail from Susan Curtiss with up-to-date information about Genie: "I understand you have asked Prof. Brunetti whether Genie is still
alive. She is indeed still alive, lives in a good board-and-care home, and is, I hope, happy and thriving... And keep your fingers crossed. I'm trying to find a way to see her and have some hope that this could happen some time this year. I've been dreaming of this for years, so if this should happen it would indeed be a dream (more accurately "many dreams") come true. Best, Susie Curtiss" Since that was over five years ago it (if even truthful) does not answer the question Is Genie alive now? I can only hope that if she were to have died, it would have been made known to the public, so I hope it is a case of "Reports of my death are greatly exagerated." I also taped the Nova episode on Wild Child and urge viewers of Mockingbird Don't Sing to purchase it as it covers several feral children in different countries and would give them a wider picture of how children came to be feral and to what extent they can be rehabilitated.
Description of Mockingbird Don't Sing
From the age of one and a half to thirteen, Katie, was imprisoned by her parents. Locked in a room, tied and immobile, bound to a "potty-chair", Katie endured years of isolated silence punctuated by brutality. When Katie?s case finally came to public attention she was moved to a hospital in Los Angeles, where it was discovered she had never been taught to speak. Katie was an anomaly, a modern day Wild Child. Medical and psychological doctors descended on the girl in droves, often with selfish motivations in this heart-breaking story. With stunning care to detail Mockingbird Don?t Sing tells Katie?s story of imprisonment, discovery and her difficult road to joining the human family as a beautiful young woman.Bestsellers in DVD
