Movie Reviews of Stalking Laura
Movie Review: I was there
Summary: 5 Stars
I was employed at the same company, ESL, and worked in the same building, M5, as Laura Black. Fortunately for me, I quit the company the day before the shootings took place. Although I worked in the same building and on the same floor, I was not in the same group as Laura. Although I do remember her - she was an attractive young woman.
From all that I know about the actual event the movie is, for the most part, very accurate in both the overall story and also in the details. It seemed particularly accurate in many of the particulars: Farley shooting his first victim at the entrance to the building, Farley shooting many computer terminals, the Togo's #26, Laura being on the 2nd story of a two story building, the restraining order, and many more details.
But there is one area where the movie does not follow what really happened. In the movie Richard Farley is portrayed as a valuable engineer with reasonable physical attractiveness. In reality, Farley was a technician (not a college graduate position), was substantially older than Black, and was not very attractive physically - you can see his picture on Wikipedia. It is not clear to me why the people who made this movie made this change to the story. My best guess is that it allowed the development of the scenes where the HR person at KEI (ESL) implied that Laura shared some of the blame for Farley's advances. In reality it would have been very hard to believe that Laura shared any blame for the situation. Because of this deviation from reality, I am more skeptical that scenes with HR are accurate (of course I don't know the truth here). Also, Laura went back to ESL after she recovered and worked there for years. This indicates that she did not have animosity towards the company which implies that HR did not behave as portrayed in the movie.
Despite these changes which appear to be made to build the drama, I think the movie was a very good portrayal of a very unfortunate event.
Summary of Stalking Laura
When harassment becomes unbareable Laura reports the problem to the company. Farley is dismissed for poor performance. Alone with his fantasy the once soft spoken technician begans plotting his revenge.Which will leave seven people dead and an entire factory held hostage...Drama DVD Video
