Beauty is fake

After watching Hard Candy, I couldn't figure out what the director wanted to show. To encourage the crazy and abnormal behavior of a fourteen-year-old girl or punish a middle-aged man who has a pedophile and murdered a teenage girl? Such a movie is really heartwarming for those female audiences who have been victimized, and the bad guys finally get their due. But just watching the movie, you will feel that the little girl's approach is a bit too much. Although it is to avenge a friend, it is not like this. I always feel that the two people in the film are morbid.

It should be noted that hard candy does not refer to candy, but refers to those underage girls in slang. Some people say that this movie is the modern version of "Little Red Riding Hood". Little Red Riding Hood finally used his wisdom and courage to defeat the cunning big bad wolf.

The movie begins very simply, a fourteen-year-old girl meets a netizen who is 18 years older than her. The little girl looks very sweet and has playful freckles on her face, and the man is elegant and successful. This is a very harmonious story, but as the plot develops more and more darkness slowly unfolds. From the girl eating chocolate cake in the cafe, the chocolate sticks all over her mouth, and the girl doesn't squirm to the girl who offers to go to the man's house, the unbridled tone reminds me of Lolita the fairy. They are really similar, beautiful and seductive but dangerous, like poppies.

All this was premeditated. I had to admire the scheming of a fourteen-year-old girl. Just like this poster, Little Red Riding Hood was not caught by the big bad wolf, but used herself as a bait and stood in the cage. Here, step by step, let the big bad wolf take the bait. It's a terrible thing for such a young child to behave like this. Thinking about when I was fourteen, I was still a silly second-year kid, what do you know? Apart from the unsatisfactory grades, there are no other worries, right? There is nothing new about playing silly with classmates. I don't know if it's a sad thing for a child to have such a strong revenge mentality. In my opinion a child is a child, don't have so many unnecessary thoughts, there is a line in the movie "a girl is a girl, you can't treat it as a woman, even if a girl pretends to be a woman, then she can't do what a woman does. ".

Speaking of online dating, this should be a pretty vulgar topic. Newspapers and television frequently broadcasted the meeting between netizens and tragedies occurred. In fact, I have never understood why people choose to meet with netizens. Is it too ignorant or too emotional? It can’t be said that there are no good people on the Internet. This is too absolute. After all, I also hang on the Internet every day, but it should not be an exaggeration to say that the Internet is full of boring people. People with serious business to do, have the free time to chat and flirt? People who chat when they have nothing to do are definitely not having many friends and their lives are somewhat empty. Of course, I am talking about chatting with strangers. I hate it when a stranger asks out of nowhere how old are you? where are you? What are you doing? It's so boring! After all, there is a gap between the Internet and life. How do you know that his "haha" is really a smile? Maybe he is silently calling you an idiot in his heart!
