Painful movie

It really hurts, especially the castration part.

The movie tells the story of a little loli who fights against pedophiles. In order to avenge the murdered friend, Little Loli took the initiative to seduce pedophiles, and finally got what she wanted and walked away.

Although the story is simple and always unfolds between two people, the plot twists and turns, gripping, and can be called a textbook of dramatic tension. In my opinion, the so-called dramatic tension is that after clearly explaining the relationship between the characters and the previous plot, you still don't know how the story will develop. In this film, I can never predict when the temporary balance between the two people will be broken, or when a third party will break into this small space. In addition, the camera is always close to the actors, giving the two leading actors a lot of facial close-ups, which creates a huge sense of oppression and substitution, increases the appeal, and also poses a great challenge to the actors' performances.

As for the characters, Little Loli is at a disadvantage in the face of an adult male with malicious intentions, but she avenged her friend and occupied the side of justice, winning the sympathy and concern of the audience from the very beginning. However, after she gradually revealed her composure, meticulousness, and ruthlessness far beyond her years, it gradually began to be scary. On the other hand, a pedophile starts out as a gloomy image with black-rimmed glasses, giving people a sense of insecurity. As the little loli begins to retaliate, he gradually becomes weak, helpless, and hopeless, and instead becomes a sympathetic side. Especially after he told about his childhood experiences and the hidden pain of being revealed in his heart, he even began to wonder, did Little Loli make a mistake? Is this man really a bad guy? Even if he is a bad guy, he is worthy of sympathy. In the end, the little loli managed to leave, and the man was forced to hang himself, but instead of the joyful feeling that the bad guy was punished and justice was done, it made people feel more suspicious and sad.
