In the News (Tue 22 Dec 09)

  
  Midnight Eye review: Innocence ('Inosensu: Kokaku Kidotai' - Mamoru OSHII - 2004)
Innocence features a lot of dolls, and their usage within the format of an animated film raises a host of interesting questions as to the numerous levels of distinction that can be made between the authentic and the simulated.
Innocence continues in its exploration of this territory, asking what happens if such technology extends not only to the environment but to the individual within it in its search for this ultimate in order and control.
Only the most argumentative of sorts would claim that Innocence isn't absolutely stunning, boasting such dazzlingly evocative sequences as an eerie doll-burning ritual, a hypnotically staged ambush in a convenience store, the relentless momentum of the gynoid attack and some positively Dali-esque visions in the final quarter.

  Innocence
Innocence is that state of being inside you which knows/feels/lives as your divine self; that part of you which directly and actively creates your reality from moment to moment.
Your innocence is a state of empowerment because it is free of limiting belief systems, jadedness, “broken heartedness,” and all the fear/doubt/illusion that accumulates in your life to dull your memory of divine essence.
Innocence is not the same thing as being naïve or living without boundaries in such a way that others can easily step in and use you to their advantage.

 Innocence Versus Insight
Innocence is a central concept in human affairs.

 CNN.com - Date rape: Misconceptions about presumption of innocence - Oct. 28, 2003
The presumption of innocence is a requirement that applies only to the members of a jury in a criminal trial.
A related notion regarding the presumption of innocence is that it obligates jurors and potential jurors to believe at the outset that a rape complainant is probably lying when she accuses a defendant of date rape.
Though "date rape" is not a technical legal term, I use it here to distinguish rapes in which the victim and perpetrator are acquainted with each other prior to the crime, from "stranger rapes," in which the victim first encounters her attacker at the time of the assault.

 Innocence and the Crisis in the American Death Penalty
The court held that it was "the State's intentional hiding of exculpatory evidence in the armed robbery case that led to [Thompson's] improper conviction in that case and his subsequent decision not to testify in the instant case because of the improper conviction." The court reversed Thompson's conviction and sentence, ordering a new trial.
As the issue of innocence became prominent for the American public, those who feared that the death penalty was being weakened reacted with attacks on the very notion of persons on death row being innocent.
Generally, the emergence of convincing evidence demonstrating a prisoner's innocence should result in his or her release from prison, either through the action of the courts or a pardon by the governor.

 indieWIRE: Growing Pains: Lucile Hadzihalilovic's "Innocence"
A remarkable sustained allegory, "Innocence" luxuriates in the kind of symbolic imagery one would associate mostly with the fantastic worlds of children's fiction, but with the wherewithal to acknowledge the inherent rot and sinister underpinnings propping them up.
For 110 of "Innocence"'s 115 minutes we're treated to one of the creepiest fables committed to celluloid: arising from a small, wooden coffin (as in Masonic rites, a symbol of rebirth), a young girl, Iris, is immediately introduced to a strange order at a remote school.
When "Innocence" concludes on a note of seeming joy and, indeed, positive entry into the adult world, one has to wonder: are Hadzihalilovic's own visions too much for her to follow to the bitter end?

As the authors of Stanford, In Spite of Innocence, and Cooley agree, reversals, acquittals on retrial, and prosecutorial decisions not to retry cases are not conclusive evidence of innocence.
Brown’s case was not included in In Spite of Innocence, thus this appears to be one of the unidentified cases in which the Cooley study considered the evidence of innocence to be "relatively weak." Cooley, at p.

 Innocence - Preview Online
The first Japanese anime film ever to screen in competition at Cannes, Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, is not really a sequel to the original cult movie: it is, says Sam Connolly, a mind-bending metaphysical essay taking the director’s signature world of humans, cyborgs and dolls one huge step further.
And, while it is not the first animated film to be selected for Competition in Cannes (indeed, it is not even the only animated film in Competition this year, as a glance at page 16 will confirm), it is certainly the first ‘anime’ film to be so honoured.
Innocence - which was released in Japan with the word in English as its sole title - follows on from Oshii’s first Ghost in the Shell (1995), a hallucinatory masterpiece that received a lukewarm reception in Japan but was a major hit elsewhere in the world (it topped Billboard’s video charts in the US).
