power and violence

I originally wanted to see the American version, but when I downloaded it, it was the Swedish version.
After reading the comments, many people also regarded it as the American version, which is a bit funny to think about.
The plot is a bit procrastinated and the actors are not good-looking, but isn't that really what life is like?

The film shows the vulnerable women in a patriarchal society.
The heroine's guardian, who controls her finances, forces the heroine to give him oral sex and rape him in his home. This man thinks he has the right to do this, thinks that he can threaten this woman, this woman must not resist, and can only torture herself.
The last perverted killer in the movie, he and his father played with and tortured many women, even his sister and daughter. In the most powerful family in Sweden, they have money and power. This idea has been deeply rooted in their subconscious. Playing and killing women is just for their own entertainment.
And the accused person, isn't that the case?
Isn't that the same with the genocide of the Jews by the Nazis?
Even the whole of Europe, when it comes to the people of the so-called third world, is it the same?

A lot of people like power because that means doing whatever you want. Many people will realize the dark side of power, but it is still difficult to resist the temptation of power.

How do the people in the movie do in the face of violence caused by power?

Some people choose to obey, believing that the guardian's do whatever he wants is so inflated, that the pervert killer enjoys the desperation of those women closing their eyes again and again, and many girls who were sexually assaulted by their stepfathers closed their lips tightly like this. . This society is very noisy, and at the same time there is a huge silence. These silences come from unconditional obedience and recognition, from silent tolerance and acceptance of fate, and from the helplessness and weakness of this is fate.

Only, there are two women who want to escape from it all.

Harriet, unable to bear the torture of her father and brother, chose to escape. Incognito, living an ordinary life.

The heroine of the film is a complete rebel. When he was a child, he burned his stepfather who sexually assaulted him, so he went to jail. Instead of being silent and submissive in the face of a guardian who violates and threatens him, he responds and takes revenge in a drastic way. Facing the perverted murderer, there was no trace of fear, and he chased after him, watching him burn to death.

It's just that they lost too much in the process of escaping and resisting.


Finally, we got a problem. All that power, all that violence, all these things like the Lord of the Rings, how are we going to deal with them?

This should be the reason for this movie to reflect on!

    A suspense film with very clear clues, the murder pictures that have been trying to create an atmosphere are not as powerful as some classic psychological suspense films. But this movie is sold because of the heroine, no doubt, and the gloomy and depressive atmosphere unique to Northern Europe can give people a sense of substitution. After watching it, I felt inexplicably depressed. .

    It is said that it is better to read the original book first... nose picking [However, this method of killing people according to the Bible is a typical "nursery rhyme killing" plot, so it is not surprising, but it is very complicated to see how the film critics say how to get the money out of the consortium in the end. , I want to watch it & listen to the Swedish dialogue, watch the English subtitles and compare the Chinese subtitles, I'm really anxious...
