DENIAL (12A)
MONSTER TRUCKS (PG)
Mick Jackson, UK, USA, 2016, 110’
Chris Wedge, USA, 2016, 105’
Based on Deborah E. Lipstadt’s acclaimed book History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier and adapted for the screen by David Hare (The Reader). Lipstadt’s (Rachel Weisz) legal battle for historical truth against David Irving (Timothy Spall), who accused her of libel when she declared him a Holocaust Denier. In the English legal system, the burden of proof is on the accused; therefore it was up to Lipstadt and her legal team to prove that the Holocaust happened.
Looking for any way to get away from the life and town he was born into, Tripp (Lucas Till), a high school senior, builds a Monster Truck from bits and pieces of scrapped cars. After an accident at a nearby oil-drilling site displaces a strange and subterranean creature with a taste and a talent for speed, Tripp may have just found the key to getting out of town and a most unlikely friend.
Yn seiliedig ar lyfr clodfawr Deborah E. Lipstadt, History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier ac wedi ei addasu ar gyfer y sgrin gan David Hare. Dyma hanes brwydr cyfreithiol Lipstadt am wirionedd hanesyddol yn erbyn David Irving, a wnaeth ei chyhuddo o enllib pan ddatganodd ei fod yn Wadwr Holocost. Yn system gyfreithiol Lloegr, mae baich y prawf ar yr un a gyhuddwyd; felly roedd yn rhaid i Lipstadt a’i thîm cyfreithiol brofi bod yr Holocost wedi digwydd.
Gan chwilio am unrhyw ffordd o ddianc y bywyd a’r dref y cafodd ei eni iddynt, mae Tripp, crwt ysgol uwchradd, yn adeiladu Tryc Enfawr o ddarnau o hen geir sydd wedi eu sgrapio. Ar ôl i ddamwain mewn safle drilio olew cyfagos ddadleoli creadur rhyfedd a thanddaearol gyda blas a thalent am gyflymdra, mae’n bosib bod Tripp wedi dod o hyd i’r allwedd i ddianc y dref a gwneud cyfaill annhebygol iawn.
