First of all, a lot of people are asking about the third hand. I researched and found this from John Green:
Who are the 2nd set of hands in the python video?
Answer: A researcher for the CBC who worked on the Fifth Estate episode on Luka went to Montreal and talked to some of Lukas neighbors, and a female said it was her in the python video and she did not know a kitten was going to be killed.
You can find this yourself with a quick google search.
Aside from that, this documentary is thrilling, disturbing and very well told. 8 stars because I HATED to hear and see a bit from the cat videos. I dont need to hear or see even a little bit of it. A description would have been enough. And the last minute, where we are personally approached by the filmmakers to find out if we are not also partly responsible because we watched this documentary (and therefore giving Luka the attention he wanted). I understand what he was trying to say, but it was misplaced and meaningless in the context of the subject. It simply had no place in this film, and of course every person who publishes such videos gets attention. How else should we as a society react? Ignore it? Of course you can't develop a fascination for it. But it is important to talk about such cases. It's always the same: It's the very people who appear harmless, that can do things that are beyond imagination. Never judge a book by its cover.
