      Hard Candy--Give Red Riding Hood a Chance to Become a Wolf

      Little Red Riding Hood captures the big bad wolf. Most viewers are actually not very used to this kind of fairy tale logic. So the starting point of the film is quite subversive. The weak are not weak, the strong may not be strong, and the inversion of the advantages of the roles will make many fans of male-orientedism quite stunned to find that it is another movie that makes men seem especially stupid...

      Hard Candy--Is Elephant Women Equals Candy Haylay?

      Little Red Riding Hood trapped the wolf, the perfect revenge for the fairy tale. The film critics were mixed, and there was even a quarrel over whether the man was castrated. There are too many flaws, things that ordinary people can't imagine, then imagine that this piece of candy is really hard. She has the ability to fight 180 men, OK?

      If you read it as a detective novel.

      One is whether Jeff is really guilty. This will be revealed eventually.

      The second is whether Haley planned to find Jeff from the beginning, not just anyone. This also has an answer.

      The third is whether castration is realized. What a hint I'm all here. No clear answer.

      Fourth, why did Jeff want to kill, instead of seeking to protect himself?

      Fifth, does a first love girlfriend know the truth is very serious? Or, he is not just afraid of who knows what...

      Hard candy

      I would say this movie sucks. . The girl is also very confused. . In fact, after watching the movie, I didn't see any real evidence that the male protagonist was a pedophile or killed donna. I just went to a girl to
      guess what Jeff said at the end. I am such a person, maybe it's a psychological suggestion The feeling is just a crazy girl pervert. . First of all, the girl must be mentally unstable. . When I speak, I feel no emotion in it. . She slammed herself into the wall after jeff...

      The weak have no freedom

      Just about sin, I have a different opinion. Legal conviction is definitely better than conceptual conviction, but the law has deficiencies and negative effects, so there must be a reverse force. Blame the sin on others, and give yourself the right to do evil in the name of others. Humanity cannot and should not take this step. At the same time, because of the advantages of being young, any actions towards others are more likely to be accepted by viewers and thus affect judgment. What if the...

    Creative background

    The inspiration for the creation of this film came from a Japanese case seen by the producer David Higgins. Female students began hunting old men who sought to date underage girls on the Internet. Once the girls got in touch with each other online, She and her friends will set up ambushes at the dating site. Higgins is quickly attracted by the interesting case, because it is difficult to determine who is the hunter and who is the prey....

    Evaluation action

    The film does not have the bloody and thrilling scenes that Hollywood is used to. The whole film only uses two people living in the same room, continuing the rather compact rhythm through constant dialogue and behavior, interspersed with several supporting roles as the finishing touch, better Interprets the almost abnormal personal heroism of revenge. And Hailey’s enchanting smile and revenge madness, Jeff’s playful ambiguity and...

    Movie quotes

    • Jeff Kohlver: I never touched you. I was trying to hold you off me, while I called the cops.

      Hayley Stark: Oh.

      [picks up the photo of the missing girl, Donna Mauer, and holds it for him to see]

      Hayley Stark: And would you have shown them this? Why do you have a picture of Donna Mauer in your safe? And, and, well, have you seen her? Because no one else has!

    • Jeff Kohlver: Look. I'm not the monster you think I am. But, okay, I crossed a line. Just call the cops. I'll turn myself in.

      Hayley Stark: [as if narrating a headline] Cute Pedophile Pleads Guilty.

      [speaking as a defense attorney]

      Hayley Stark: "Aww, it's not his fault. He's sick. He has an addiction."

      Jeff Kohlver: I'll do jail. Isn't, isn't that what should happen?

      Hayley Stark: Yeah. You might. You might get jail time. I dunno: therapy, drugs, group discussions, notifying people when you move into a new house. How bad is that, really?

      Jeff Kohlver: It'll ruin my career, ruin my life.

      Hayley Stark: Well, didn't Roman Polanski just win an Oscar?

    • Jeff Kohlver: Why don't you just kill me?

      Hayley Stark: Is that what you think I want?
