      Crescent Moon in Kyushu

      4 high school girls, like a lot of American high schools. Hackers in the town began to expose privacy. The mayor was a gay and committed suicide; the principal's dark past made people believe that he was a pedophile. The masses are happy to eat melons. When hackers exposed the privacy of more than half of the people in the town, things changed... The crowd believed that they were victimized and vowed to catch the hacker who exposed their privacy. The crowd believed that Lily of the 4 high...

      Assassination Kingdom

      Looking at this name and adding a poster, I look forward to the scenes and plot of the killing.

      At first it was campus style, then best friend, rebellious. Then it presents a life of high school students, parties, love, and taboos. During the period, it was accompanied by continuous leaks of indecent photos, which pushed the plot forward. In the end, it was out of control, and finally caused a riot because of selfishness. The so-called justice is also hypocritical. There is only...

      The town’s network fell, and the mob revolted

      The town of Salem in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (Massachusetts for short, well-known for its technical schools), seems to be no different from other American towns. Oh, yes, there is a difference. There are about 82% of the white population in Massachusetts, which is the most white state. This situation can also be clearly seen in the small town. Political inclination is naturally more right-wing, religious, and biased towards minorities and LGBT.

      There are four BItch girls who...

      Depressing

      The whole movie describes the importance of everyone's privacy. When everyone's privacy is exposed, it will be a very scary thing.

      In the second half of the film, perhaps because of cultural differences, it is difficult for you to understand the emotions it wants to express, but you can realize that in this society, everyone must live according to specific rules, just like the society or the surroundings. Everything is under the social circle. It is a repressive environment. So...

      The history of small town girls' struggle

      Sex, school bullying, discrimination against homosexuality, pedophilia, online violence, etc., all the problems that exist in the current society are vividly expressed in the movie. But this is not a film that reflects these social problems, but a film that solves these social problems. Everyone faces these problems not to avoid them, not to be slaughtered by others. They have to stand up and face these problems, solve them, and resist. Don't be afraid of other people's colored glasses, be...

      An extremely sexy movie in every way. It can be seen that the director is not only pursuing violent aesthetics, but also wants to express something more in-depth. However, it is too limited to focus on the perspective of the four heroines throughout the whole process. The last wave of forced value appreciation is a bit...

      7/10. There is no privacy in the internet age. I actually agree with some of the views of the teenage girls in the film. The front is a thriller, and the blood starts to appear in the back. The location of the movie is Salem, combined with the riots of the men behind, it is simply saying "witch"! And this poster of licking blood, why does it remind me of...

      I'm the loneliest and the coolest. The whole world wants to fuck me, and if I can't get on, they will kill me together. Authoritative representatives are all perverts and sadists, so I beep with a machine...

    Evaluation action

    This stylized film is intended to satirize the social situation in the United States: hackers, school violence, and online violence are staged in turn, and young people become the biggest victims. Especially in the era of social media, privacy has become a weapon for attacking others, even without swords and guns, it can still trigger violent conflicts. The irritable music, the shaking camera, and the chaotic life of high school...

    Movie quotes

    • Lily: Who's the rapist with your mom?

      Em: It's too depressing to talk about.

      Lily: She's giving him a foot massage.

      Sarah: I'm gonna throw up. Who's Sir Rapes-a-lot?

      Bex: Okay. All the rape jokes are making me seriously uncomfortable.

    • Lily: But... you're a man. I don't expect you to understand.

      Principal Turrell: Try me.

      Lily: All you're looking at is the nudity. But this isn't about that. This isn't about the sex or the porn or even being naked. This is about everything that goes into it. The pressure. The endless mind-fuck, the 10,000 naked selfies you took before this one, trying to get it just right. Trying to make sure the light hides your left nipple because it's slightly inverted or it's smaller. Or maybe your labia's too big. But if you pull your pelvic bone up and bend to the left slightly in a lowlight setting, then you'll be beautiful. Hashtag flawless, body confident. But it's all one big lie. You can never be, because nobody is flawless, and all it takes is one fucking asshole to remind you of that. One guy to say, "LOL," or, "She's nasty." And you're right back at square one. So, OK, maybe it is explicit or extreme, but it sure as hell looks like life to me.

    • Rebecca Coulson: There are boundaries, Lily, between a father and a daughter. You may not believe that, but there are.

      Lawrence: Absolutely. I was never comfortable seeing you naked after you were two.

      Lily: Why?

      Lawrence: You're my daughter. That a good enough reason?

      Lily: But that's exactly what I mean. I'm your daughter. Why would you be weirded out?

      Lawrence: Lily, that's enough.

      Lily: All I'm trying to say is that nudity isn't inherently sexual. And it's the same thing with these photos. They're not sexual. It's you guys that are making them sexual. Just because a young girl is naked doesn't mean they're sexual or creepy or pervy and it doesn't make him a child molester.

      Rebecca Coulson: Lily, give me a break.

      Lily: Mom, there's a naked photo of me on the mantelpiece at two years old. Do you think that is child pornography?

      Rebecca Coulson: Lily, I am not going to sit here and listen to you defend a child molester!

      Lily: But that's my point! He's not a child molester. He is a victim in this, just like his daughter.

      Lawrence: Lily, you like to debate, and I respect that. You wanna play devil's advocate, you're smart, but you don't know the first thing about this world, sweetheart. And you call us prudes, old-fashioned, but I'm gonna tell you something. I've been on this earth 45 years and if there's one thing I know, men will be men, girls will be girls, and until you can protect yourself, I'm gonna do that for you.
