      Blind cat meets dead mouse

      The film gave me a feeling that the photography was of poor quality, and it didn't look very comfortable anyway. It's more like a third-rate movie, the shooting is poor, the characters' contradictions are not deep enough, and the theme is not prominent enough.

          
          After watching this film, I really have no sympathy for the heroine. I always feel that although the person who raped her is very abhorrent, it corresponds to the popular saying "If you don't do it, you won't die."...

      The earth is indeed round

      A story of a gang rape. Justice was not served in the first place, hence the story. And in a case that is obviously like a car running on a highway instead of a dog, in the United States, it will take a lot of trouble to get the bad guys to get the punishment they deserve. On the other side of the world, criminals are usually assigned a lawyer who wants them to lose immediately. Going through the process, prosecutors and court judges join hands to cut through the mess. All the onlookers applaud...

      Torturing people's hearts is more about morals~~

      When watching the six sets, I kept thinking who this beauty is. Young and very Foster. Until the district attorney in the film finds witnesses, the date on the game console is '87. I know this beauty is Jodie Foster.
      Although the film is a bit old, and it is a female-themed film. But it still makes sense now. It has practical significance for the progress of modern society, the sound legal system, and the moral bottom line.
      And Judy, in my impression, she is very gentle, noble, but...

      Review + Supplement

      Accidentally cut to the movie station, still the original sound, so I revisited it again.

      I have forgotten which year I watched the film, it should be the age of VCD. Holidays while reading were the craziest time to watch movies.

      But I have to admit that watching the movie at that time was still too full.

      However, the advantage is that if you look at it today, you can still watch it again with great interest.

      Of course, it is not fair to judge the current...

      Violent shock

      After watching this movie, I had nightmares all night long. Dreaming of hand-knife perpetrators, but always powerless. A flood of anger and sadness. First of all, it must be believed that any psychological defect is not formed by the victim's subjective willingness, and her character is formed by objective environmental reasons, such as family, friends, and knowledge background. All the poor people who encounter unusual encounters have nasty flaws or weaknesses, but the tragedy...

      In fact, if it weren't for Sarah's scars all over her body, and so many men in the bar yelling and gang-raping, I would really think he was slutty, seductive, and...

      ▤ "It's not the crime of criminal solicitation to silently watch a rape. But it's the crime of criminal solicitation to induce, entreat, encourage, persuade another person to commit a rape. They made sure that Sarah was raped, and raped, and raped . Now, u tell me. Is that...

      good! The narrative is calm, delicate and powerful! It feels a bit like an American drama, as if I watched an episode of a high-quality extended version of The Good Wife. . . Of course there is more to this movie. One is Jodie Foster winning an Oscar for this film. . Really good performance! The other is the large rape scene. After a lot of foreshadowing in the first half of the film, the emotion completely broke out. That scene really made you grit your teeth and feel resentful! !...

      This is how China is now. Individual women who smoke and drink in nightclubs may be used as an excuse for assault or harassment if they dress carelessly. Timely restraint is necessary, and men also need to understand that it is not against the law to tease you, just cooperate, and no one will look good if you cross the line. In addition, men do have the problem of not respecting women's privacy, and discuss their girlfriends or wives with their buddies casually. Perhaps this is the root cause...

      It's not as abused as I imagined, probably because the top abuse comes from the darkness of the system rather than the brutality of rape? Therefore, the "district" sexual harassment in "Northern Wind and Cloud" is much more abusive to some extent than...
