Wait for the end?

It's one of those that seems like it will end before it really does. Maybe it's just me though

No, I thought that too, since I figured out from the dialogue what was happening by 3:00. I just expect a twist or big payoff when I’m told to “wait for the end”, and instead got almost exactly what I expected.
I found it unbelievable….maybe that’s just me though?

Maybe the dialogue between the Exes is not the "wait for the end" surprise. Rather it's the movement of the camera & the heavy breathing at the last seconds. Meaning somebody else video-recorded the whole thing at a high vantage point and THAT can be used as evidence?

I assumed the heavy breathing, jacket removal, and camera movement were all the woman returning to her apartment with a second recording device in her pocket and camera in her window.
I guess, with the constant surveillance from multiple angles that’s the norm in most developed countries anywhere in public, and the overlooking camera angle, I never considered the idea that it wasn’t being recorded from multiple devices, so I might have missed the point.
I was only surprised she didn’t retrieve the thing he threw in the creek. The device may be destroyed, but the recording isn’t…not that there was a clear confession on it.

Maybe the overlooking (1st person) camera is in the girl's flat (or a collaborator's balcony), the 1st person camera is controlled by her roommate/collaborator. So the whole setup is to have the victim wait for the ex-BF to the pass by the bridge (a routine thing for him?), then catch her ex's audio & visual confession using a remote mic setup. So whether the ex-BF tossed the on-person mic to the river isn't important, since the camera just recorded a fresh physical assault, and a semi-confession of the past sexual assault as well?

I wonder if this is IRL, would the video be sufficient evidence to nail to ex-BF though? What consititue an admission of guilt nowadays? The suspicions of being recorded and his subsequent physical assault (arguably a minor one? But at minimum an invaison of personal space by force?)... a hint of gaslighting is in there too. All of these evidence, what are they worth legally? Is this at least sufficient to get a perma restraining order on him?

That was the point to me. That, absent video evidence or a rape kit, only a clear unambiguous confession meets the burden of proof, and she didn’t get it despite the dangerous position she put herself in to get a confession.
I doubt a DA would prosecute on this irl.
In a jury trial it might be enough for conviction, they’re notoriously difficult to predict, but not a non-jury trial.

I think maybe a temporary restraining order could be acquired in America with this evidence, but not permanent….just my opinion though.

It's a sad state of (legal/justice) affairs

True, but also a delicate balance of rights vs rights to attempt as a third party with minimal, often conflicting data. I don’t envy courts.
