Terrible people are smart

The film gave me three reverie: 1. I am a normal person 2. The world I live in is really beautiful 3. There is nothing in my lower body that can be cut off and I really feel safe!

What is scary is not "perverts", but "smart" perverts. If people get smarter, the degree of perversion doesn't matter. Jeff is a pedophile, influenced by bad experiences as a child, and can be regarded as a psychopath. And Haley's perversion and Jeff's are not in the same direction. What's scary about Jeff is the purpose, what's scary about her is the process of unscrupulousness.
Rather, Hayley's purpose is not to kill, but to give him back exponentially the fear Jeff inflicted on the teenage girls he perverted and abused (Donna was the trigger). The cruelest revenge is not to kill this person slowly, but to slowly destroy the part that he cares about the most-for the man Jeff and the paedophile Jeff, the most important thing he cares about is the lifeblood; for the old man Jeff, the lover Jeff, he cares most about Guinelle! Haley found it all.

The blind spots of single men, when the neighbors go out, the anniversary of the first love, the details of the castration surgery, the homework that the Avengers should do and should not do, Hailey has done it perfectly. The wisdom of this angle needs no words. What makes her really scary is the perfect choreography of her psychological tactics - she gave Jeff hope over and over again before the castration surgery, forcing him to plead, cry, smash his self-esteem, and finally, the method of despair was simply neat. (There is an academic question here: Can the testicle be removed after it is removed?)
The most extreme thing is: let this sad man find out that he is "lucky" and still a "man". Ordinary cats eat mice for food. The most cruel cat fun is that when playing with mice, even the arc of each other's jumps is planned in advance in the air.
This girl is accurate even in Jeff's psychological reaction after he was born. A pedophile who was caught with evidence of a crime did not dare to call the police for help. A middle-aged man who had been abused by an underage girl was unwilling to escape like this. His only choice was to seize the initiative and kill her! So, everything is under control.
It is very dangerous for a person to have a dead end, let alone Jeff's dead end has been thoroughly understood. So, the final rooftop meeting is the climax. How could the pleasure of killing someone be worth the pleasure of mastering the fate of others like a god? Your dead end is the opponent's trump card, Jeff's heart of Guinelle has become Haley's urging judge, he has no choice.
Too often, too much love is too heavy. If Jeff didn't want to impress Guinell forever, why would he be afraid to run away with the title of "pedophile"? It's a pity that this candy method is too ruthless, which not only makes him die in shock, but also shatters what he cherishes most.
The old man fights against the little loli, the pervert is against the pervert, and he loses in "love".

Metamorphosis is not the most terrifying, but I'm afraid that perverts are smarter than others.
