Hard Candy, my dear paranoid

Always write slowly. There is no time when you are in the mood. There is no mood when there is time. Or time and mood are sometimes, and lack of peace. Peace of mind from the soul. Only in such a night, listening to quiet songs, such as Cai Jianya, Chen Qizhen, Cao Fang, etc., can trace the source of quietness.

I want to talk about some movies I watched recently.

Let's talk about "Fruit Hard Candy" first. Listening to the name of the movie seems to contain a lot of sweetness, greenness and beauty. When I was a child, I liked to eat hard candies, and the most common ones should be orange-flavored candies. Like hard candy because it can be wrapped in tongue and saliva longer without melting. That kind of sweetness can only be experienced by sucking for a long time. Like poison. So children like it, and then tooth decay.

"Fruit Hard Candy". Behind this beautiful name is teasing, irony, revenge, the story of a grown man and a little girl, a man and woman who first met online. (We'll call them men and women for now). She is a 14-year-old teenage girl named Haley, who is a successful photographer, Jeff. They seem to have met inadvertently through the Internet, and then meet. The first and only time we met. The way she eats the chocolate cake is mesmerizing. Inadvertently revealing the child's innocence and the woman's intelligence and sexy. She took the initiative to go to his house, after he bought her a green T-shirt. He was teased by her as if he could do nothing with her. She was carrying a large canvas bag. When he asked, she replied that it was Dad's medical books. She likes to study medicine.

The walls of his house are covered with his photographs. He mixed drinks for her, and she naively said that her mother told her not to drink open wine. Then adjust it yourself, and make a cup for him. When he woke up, his limbs had been fixed on the chair. He still thought it was a joke. call her name. She sprayed him with an unknown spray, and in an instant he could only cry and cough. Then she started rummaging through the boxes to find the evidence she wanted. Evidence that he murdered and was a pedophile. He still couldn't believe what the girl had done to him. Resistance is suppressed by sprays. She seemed to know him very well, that his neighbors were out on this day, that he liked to shoot girls, and that he knew his first love girlfriend. This is obviously the layout of the field, and he can't wait to jump down. She found a date behind a photograph on the wall. It is inferred that it was the day he met his girlfriend. In this way, find the box buried under the stone decorative floor, and pull out a photo of a girl. She determined that these were evidence of his pedophilia. He resisted, and when he woke up again, he was tied to the marble dining table.

The mind game begins. The girl wants to castrate him. Wear aqua blue surgical gown and rubber gloves. First shave off the hair, and then apply ice, worrying that he will hurt if the paralysis is not enough. He couldn't hold himself back in fear. She said, you can't fall in love, go to public restrooms, bathhouses. People will find you don't have genitals and you'll be despised. He finally knew that this was not a game. After struggling several times, he finally calmed his breath and told the story of his childhood. He was playing in the bathtub with his aunt's children, and his aunt thought he had an intention against his cousin. Hold him on the fire to frighten him. He didn't know if this troubled his growth. Only in the end he admitted that he was a pedophile. But no murder. She found his ex-girlfriend's e-mail on his computer, wrote to her, and read it to him. It's the evidence that she speculates that he murdered. The girl who was killed was Donna Moore.

She set up his photographic equipment and wanted to record the castration process. The telephoto lens is a close-up of his face. His panic, sweat, tears, snot. He has no self-esteem at all, begging her not to castrate him. Say, when you hurt others, you are also changed. She said that when you were picking girls online, why didn't you think about not doing this to yourself. They have intermittent conversations. He has always denied that he was the murderer. He was even willing to be handed over to the police, whatever she wanted to say, and he was willing to move. Anything, he would like. He was weeping in front of her, hysterical and unable to contain himself. She was still so calm and started the operation. Knowing that he was hopeless, he finally calmed down and heard the tidal breathing, undulating together. She described the progress of the operation while she was operating. His face was covered in sweat, and there were traces of fighting with him. These are all very clean shots, and we can only know the progress of the operation from the protagonist's facial expressions. She put what she cut into plastic transparent cups. Then go take a shower. He struggled to break free from the ropes and found that he had not been castrated. If released. Everything seems to be a game. Turn on the camera, it's a cartoon. Those blood and ice cubes and knives are all tools for acting. He went to the bathroom to find her, but was subdued by her with an electric prod.

She began to calmly organize the scene. Wipe off all fingerprints and put everything back in place. During this interval, she called a friend and made an appointment to go to the movies. Then she put on black gloves and left a message on the computer: Tried to shoot myself. Can't even do that right. Then she called her ex-girlfriend who was a police officer and said there was an accident at his house.

She tied him up in a coma and made a scene of his suicide. He wakes up, she sits relaxedly at the table chatting with him. Strong psychological confrontation with each other. Laugh at each other, poke each other's pain. Finally fighting together again, he was able to break free from the rope. She ran away and hid in the corner with a look of fear on her face. She was back to being a little girl again. Then he ran into the house and cleaned up all the remaining traces. He couldn't find her and poked the picture on the wall with a knife. Roaring, this is the real me, thank you.

Finally, their confrontation on the rooftop. She asked him to kill himself, saying that this would hide the fact that he was a pedophile and murderer. Otherwise, she would take off her own clothes and pretend to be a victim. She knew almost everything about him, and he, perhaps, knew nothing of her. Off-camera, the ex-girlfriend's car has been parked in front of the house and called him. He rolled on the ground in pain, forced to do so. Finally committed suicide by jumping off the building. Before he died, he said, I didn't kill her, I just watched her get killed. I can tell you the real murderer. She was unusually calm and replied, Jeff, I know his name, and Alan told me you were the murderer before he died. He looked back at her before he jumped off the building, she still said indifferently, don't worry, I won't tell anyone that you are a perverted murderer. Their backs at different heights in the twilight, and then he jumped off. She ran to the building and looked downstairs and said: Maybe not.

She wore her red hooded jacket, blue jeans, white canvas shoes, straddled a brown backpack, licked her lips, and walked expressionlessly in an unknown direction on a sunny afternoon. Maybe a movie appointment, but who knows?

It was quite painful to write this. I relive those details with insatiable fear and curiosity. She has deep, shining eyes, plump lips, and an undeveloped girl's body. Some are like hallucinations. She seems to have never existed. It's just to scare yourself with stories you make up when you're scared. She is so fresh and active, beautiful and calm. I remember when my mother said that snakes with patterns are especially poisonous. So in the summer season after the rice harvest, you should avoid going to the rice fields, where there are always flower snakes, which can be fatal. Is it the same for women?

It's a movie that requires a lot of effort to watch, you can't miss some tiny details, and you can't walk away occasionally and ignore it. And because the dialogue is in English and subtitles in Chinese, both parties have to take care of it, which is not easy.

Donna is a friend of Hailey, unfortunately killed, Jeff and another man happened to be there. Haley's Revenge. Ellen and Jeff are both cornered by Hailey. It's such a story. So much drama. The two have been fighting and fighting for a long time, psychologically, trying to defeat each other. Those scenes without violence and blood are still chilling. Is there a lurking devil living in everyone's mind? When they are tempted, they set off. The little girl's cruel calm and composure, the man's despair to the process of re-examining himself, is also the same for the audience.

Being interested in psychology is like eating and dressing, it seems to be an innate ability. (Of course, it may also be cultivated without your knowing it). So sensitive, it's like being sick. I met a friend on the Internet some time ago. Shandong people. Tell me that you want to collect my underwear. Also inform the specific mailing address. Actually this is not a wise move. Immediately stunned. Ask him some questions. Gradually learned that he is still a student of the party school, like collecting is a hobby. At the same time, I am also worried that I will be harmed online. When I further asked him if his family was mostly female, or if he lost his mother prematurely. He actually left. Hard to see after that. I tried to get in when he was unsuspecting and he needed to talk. It's just that the alertness is still strong, and after a few times, it retracts into the shell. Not for anything else, because oneself is not strong enough to face oneself.

When I was in elementary school, my sister always bought a lot for me. The deepest memory is jumping candy. Roughly a small granular thing, put it in the tongue and keep jumping and jumping until it melts. The tip of the tongue is numb. Hailey too, although there is sourness, you are still attracted by her only sweetness. Can't stop. So is "Fruit Hard Candy".
