So this theme for this movie can be said to be a success or a failure or a failure.
Regardless of the original intention of the director to choose the theme of lolicon, he has already set a moral presupposition for the film from the beginning, so that everyone who pays attention to this topic will have a value orientation of their own before the film starts. , whether he is a supporter or an opponent. But the trouble is that the greedy director is not satisfied with movies with only one theme, so he introduces the second motif. You can say that this theme is logic, criminal psychology, or abnormal psychology. In short, the film has two themes, and obviously the two themes are in exactly the same place.
So trouble came, two themes, two sets of performance routines, hedged against each other.
The strong logical thinking ability and superb psychological manipulation techniques of the little girl in this film are undoubtedly the core of the audience's attention, but unlike previous reasoning films, all the reasoning in this film are undocumented, little girl At the beginning, it was inferred that the male protagonist was a pedophile, and it seemed that he had come up with a lot of practical evidence from his own reasoning and past experiences, but these evidences could be overturned, for example, found in the male protagonist's house At most, the photos can only show that the male protagonist photographed naked girls, but it does not mean that the male protagonist has sexually assaulted them. Even if they did sexually assault them, the way of narration in the film makes it difficult to believe that the little girls who were victimized It's not a mistake, because just like the heroine's performance at the beginning of the movie, such a hook is completely voluntary, so we have no reason to believe that the hero is actually a perverted murderer who covets and tortures girls to death. Therefore, even if she uses the most powerful reasoning methods, these reasoning can only be regarded as her speculation at most. Although it is not easy for a little girl who is only 14 years old, you cannot make all adult The audience is down to a mind with the little girl. Therefore, I have every reason to say that all the reasoning in this movie is pointless, no matter how powerful they are.
It is precisely because of this meaningless reasoning that the value orientation of this film is completely blurred. As a movie that reflects the problem of pedophilia, the child in this movie is actually a devil, and the pedophile devil who is really hated by people has become a weakling who is repeatedly played with. Some people say that this is to let people know that loli are not such simple creatures. In fact, this is to convey that the abused loli is not worthy of sympathy at all, because from their willingness to take the bait to the brutal behavior after that, to everything it seems. Excusable. The director seems to want to express the main line of the heroine's revenge, but unfortunately, in the process of the heroine's strict revenge, the audience has little chance to see her hatred. The funny thing is that we don't even know she and the murdered in the play. what is the relationship with the girl. So this is very similar to the setting of Nabokov's "Lolita". The book "Lolita" comes from a psychiatrist's retelling of his patient's story. Since it is a mental patient, everything in the book may be the same. not true. In the same way, since this movie does not have a meaningful logical reasoning, and the background explanation of the heroine is too rough, it is difficult for people to believe that all the actions of the little girl are well-founded. Therefore, the first child molester theme was actually put up, and the revenge theme here is obviously untenable, and the audience's only focus is a wonderful method of torture.
Obviously, this kind of torture method is just a means, and you can't add any spiritual or moral things to it. So although there are two themes in this movie, there is only one left at the end, that is, a little girl with an ignorant mind clearly kills an adult whose overall strength is far superior to her. The audience can't praise, criticize, or sympathize with any of the people here, because the two themes hedge against the possible emotional support here.
The original strong has become the weak, but the original weak has manipulated the strong, because the baseless reasoning of the weak has caused the strong to have a little meaning that he will not die. The whole film gives people a kind of too vague values and purely entertaining logical reasoning.
Over the head, but really can't get out of the heart.
After watching it, it's hard to see what the movie says.
