I won't complain though.
As bad as it is that's she's gone missing, she's not the only fucking one.
Tons of children, in fact tons of people, go missing every day.
Why should she have a film made about her whilst thousands of other missing citizens are just cast aside and forgottten about.
It disgusts me.

Is a movie going to bring that much more awareness to the situation?
As other have said people know of the situation and i'm sure most have seen her picture at least once, whether on tv, newspapers, the internet, even the save maddie profiles on myspace. I'm not judging the McCanns but I don't see the great benefit of it so far on..
Sure, release a short quick to produce documentary a few months after it happened to give more details and more visual information but now by the time it is written, filmed and released it's going to be even further into the future and even less effective (imo).
I hope they find her, although it looks doubtful.
And to be honest, I don't feel that much sympathy towards the parents, sure no-one should go through that but they're not the real victim. I feel sorry for Madeline for having her parents be so irresponsible and now only god know's whats happened to her.

Her face has been plastered across newspaper front pages, magzines, posters, international news broadcasts, the internet, the radio, flyers in local shop windows.
If you can find one person who doesn't know who Madeline McCann is, then I'll be fine with them making a film about it.
...I mean people who would have access to this film if it were made, yet are unaware of McCann's dissapearance - obviously there will be hermits and indigenous folks in the world who don't know about current affairs, but these people don't have access to a dvd player or a cinema so funding a film about her won't raise awareness amongst them. I mean someone in the first world with access to means of watching this film (i.e. a tv or town center) who doesn't know about mccanns dissapearance.
find one. I dares you.
Because I can say with some confidence that such a person probably doesn't exist.
awareness shmawareness.
It's unfortunate that two parents have lost their child. But there are tens of thousands of parents who the same thing happens to every single year - do they get a motion picture dedicated to finding their children? No.
I'm not saying I don't empathise for the parents. But I am absolutely disgusted by the media coverage. It's grossly unjust.
it's crossed the line of "everyones helping find her" now - it's become media sensationalism...
oh my god. a middle class, christian, blonde haired, blue eyed white girl has gone missing. Quickly, everyone empty out your saving accounts, celebrities, pledge thousands of your dollars and make appeals.
The people who I mourn for are the parents who are ignored when their child dissapears without a trace. I'm sick of the media coverage for that reason.

I want Madeleine to be dead, so they can shut the fuck up about her.
I'm kind of sick of hearing about it, too, especially considering all the other missing people in this world, like someone mentioned above.
But Jesus Christ, wishing the kid dead? That's not bold, that's fucking stupid and puerile.

That's just it though. He doesn't really wish her dead, because for most of the country she never existed in the first place, myself included. She's a character in a story, not a real person, and that's why she can be discussed so flippantly. You detach yourself. You have to, or you'd go mad with grief just from reading the daily paper or watching the news.
That's why everyone gets annoyed. They don't care, and they know they should care, and they don't want to be reminded that they don't care because they think they're sensitive, sentimental people. I have no doubt that anyone who saw Madeleine McCann while on holiday would try to help her, but that's only because she's come into their little sphere of relevant life.
And above all, the whole thing is so hypocritical. Callous as it sounds, she is one little girl. Hundreds of people die every day in places like Darfur and it gets a line in the broadsheets: it's far removed from our lives, it's ongoing, it's not very dramatic... we don't lose sleep over it. One English girl disappears and it's front-page news for months.
I wish I really, truly did care instinctively about those people without having to stop for a moment, and think, and TRY to put myself in their shoes. But I don't.

No, I'm completely aware of the flippant attitude people have toward those who haven't "come into their little sphere of relevant life." It's understandable, it's human. I just didn't expect things like, "I want her to be dead" to come along. Unless maybe he meant in a very metaphorical sense, which is stretching it a bit. She isn't just a character anyway. Maybe to you, and maybe your perception is reality, but to me there is one reality; she existed, and someone out there cared about her as we care for loved ones in our lives.
I recognize the apathy (or antipathy, as it may be) but I don't think it's a good thing. You say it's what keeps us from going crazy with grief... I say it's what keeps us human, and makes people care about each other, even if they aren't acquainted. And I don't really have to stop and try to care about people who are mentioned in the news and such... I just naturally care. I'm not saying I'm a better person than you, but we are different, and I do think that hateful comments aren't right. And I actually do "lose sleep" over things such as Darfur, murder/torture stories, etc. Those things really affect me; I do not have any protective apathy, for better or worse. What can I say, humanity makes me sad. I can't distance myself from it when I am a part of it.
Anyway, this is not meant to be some uptight rant, but I don't believe in keeping quiet when people say things that I think are unnecessarily harsh and rude. I guess I am old fashioned that way.
Also, regarding the movie/documentary... I'm not sure what their intentions are, but it doesn't look too good on paper to most people. I'd say the former is what's important though.

Saying that you wish she was dead is somewhat extreme, but I do agree totally with the whole "she's a character in a story" argument. Like it's been said, if everyone reacted with true remorse every time someone was kidnapped or killed then everyone would just be permenantly depressed. And if that happens, then what would the reaction be when millions are starving, or whatever other catastrophe is happeneing opposed to one person getting kidnapped? It's completely natural to detach yourself from these things.
I don't think anyone would wish her dead, but people need to see the reality that someone been missing for this long is not about to turn up alive and well. I understand how her parents are still fighting for it, of course they are, but things have got to the point that I think people are only still donating money and whatnot because they feel its the right thing to do, because they've been told to care by the papers, that somehow this missing child case is totally different to all others and not that it's going to get results.
Ultimately her parents are going to exploit every public oppertunity they get (and I mean that in an innocent way - to help find their child) but getting a film made is ridiculous, everything that can be done has been done and everyone just needs to move on. Her parents are only doing this because they can't accept that their daughter is gone and start their lives over, and as long as this media attention continues they never will.

I'm sure by this time she is dead.
I don't understand people who could do things like that.
Also, having true feelings about other people's situations doesn't leave you permanently depressed, or at least not for me. It makes me appreciate my own life more, and tell the people I love that I love them. I'm a very happy person in general, but when I think about the shit in the world, big events or small, it gets me down. So I'm doing what I can to change it.

to bring awareness?? 
That it utter bullshit. No movie could dream of getting the publicity that the case already has. Unless the Pope, the Beckhams, and JK Rowling are all acting in it.
Oh wait...

Madeleine McCann's parents have denied reports they are planning to make a film about her disappearance.
Writing on his online blog, Madeleine's father Gerry McCann said speculation about a film deal was "simply untrue".
However, he did confirm there had been talks with a production company about making a documentary on the couple.
He said projects were assessed to see if they could help find Madeleine, who disappeared in Portugal, just before her fourth birthday, last May.
'Simply untrue'
Writing on his blog on Tuesday, Mr McCann said: "Some of the media coverage today has been at its worst since Kate and I were declared arguidos [formal suspects].
"We can categorically deny that we are considering a movie about Madeleine's disappearance. This is simply untrue.
"We are approached by a huge number of media outlets regarding a myriad of projects, only a tiny proportion of which we agree to.
"Each proposal is considered on whether it is likely to have a positive effect, either directly or indirectly on the search for Madeleine."
He added that there had been a "preliminary discussion" with a production company about a documentary on the issues the family had faced since the disappearance of their daughter.

So many people would just love the parents to be found guilty.
As cool as a year 7 on the first day of term...

Not wrong, but i would not believed they killed her. That's horrible. Simply. But the more I see those facts, and the parent's reaction, the more I think there is something wrong in their game. I did not wanted to blame them first, and I thought the fact that they were suspected was insane and unfair...But yet, i don't know. I don't really know what happened. The mother's diary was a weird point on this dramatical story.
But anyway, maybe we should leave this apart and keep concentrating on real facts really dramatic all around the world. Or maybe are we-all of us, me included-too selfish to be concentrated on millions of dead, and being touched by Madie is a way to feel less...Guilty. I do believe she's dead and only two people have the answer.

I agree!!! I hope they find Madeline and it would be soo sad if the parents did kill her, but they seem so cold and unemotional, its hard to believe they didn't do anything... hmmmmm maybe they are just unemotional people but I think it's abit weird meself.

The McCanns challenged the police, on 13 September, saying in a statement "Find the body and prove we killed her".
That's from Wikipedia.
That's such a sterile, unfeeling thing for a parent to say when their child is missing...
