      Letterhead Stories The Tale

      When you are asked to imagine and describe an ugly thing as something beautiful and memorable, you can also tell exactly which is true and which is false. It turns out that there are three versions of a thing, the version from other people's perspectives, my version and the version of the thing itself. When faced with fear, the first thing that human beings think about is how to escape from him. When you choose to face it soberly, most people die at the moment of confrontation, and a...

      --

      The theme of child sexual abuse from a special perspective, from the perspective of an adult, uncovers the dusty memories of being sexually abused as a child. Although the truth is still disgusting, the point is no longer here. Is the nature of inducing children to accept it worse? The judgment that an adult should have is just like the mother's doubts: whether jenny was really happy at that time, not to mention that she has actually suffered physical and mental harm, even if she is...

      Don't be a silent accomplice, and don't be a perpetual victim.

      The moment I watch it, it always reminds me of last year's Weibo sensational suicide writer Fang Siqi and her "Fang Siqi's Paradise of First Love", which are also real stories, and they also tear open their own wounds and let you take a look. Look, there is another kind of hurt in this world [the world "kissed" me with pain, I was powerless to fight it, so I can only convince myself that this is a kind of growing pain, I will grow up and welcome me after I have passed it. A life you can...

      Why is the sexual relationship between an adult and a minor an aggression?

      1 Like the painter I met in the Louvre that summer.

      When I can't change what happened, I choose to change the memory.

      2 Why is a sexual relationship between an adult and a minor a violation?

      Is adult-to-adult sexuality also aggression?

      If it is said that the sexual relationship between adults and minors is a violation and is illegal, the reason is that most adults deceive minors. Because minors do not have the ability to think independently, they are...

      I don't know what to feel

      I avoided "Carnival", "The Furnace" and "Su Yuan", and deliberately avoided films about this kind of "young rape" sexual assault, because this kind of injury is not only physical, but also a persecution that has been implanted, persecution of the opposite sex, Psychological oppression caused by doubts and disgust for love, human nature, and even self. Watching this type of film, I really don't know how to watch it. Especially this kind of non-violence and non-randomness, but a kind of...

      Uncomplicated stories with a lot of themes in recent years, the descriptions are very layered, the character's mental journey and high-level establishment, the focus is on the director's own real-life experience, and I feel astonished in addition to...

    Movie quotes

    • Jennifer: [sarcastically shouting] What? Hasn't anybody else here had *sex* with Bill?

    • Jennifer: Don't you think it's a little cult-like? I mean, I didn't think it at the time, but now in retrospect? You know, the whole group thing. Worshiping pain, endurance, it's a bit religious, don't you think?

      Mrs. G: Really... really, Jenny?... I expected so much more of you.

    • Jenny at 13: I'm the hero of this story, NOT the victim. They fell apart, I didn't.
