This film was produced after the famous "An American Crime" in 2007. Perhaps it is a coincidence that the theme is similar, and the victims are different.
The story can be summed up in one sentence, and people are still the most terrifying carriers, even minors with immature minds. It is especially dark because it involves teenagers.
Four questions:
First, the formation of mass violence.
As far as the degree of violence in mass incidents is concerned, ① the degree of organization of actors has a significant and negative correlation. That is to say, there is an inverse relationship between the degree of organization in mass incidents and the degree of violence, and violent mass incidents are more likely to occur in a state of low degree of organization. ②The influence of actor's interest relatedness is also significantly negatively correlated. ③ In the relationship network between actors, the influence of blood relationship and karma relationship is significant, but the influence of blood relationship is positive, while the influence of karma relationship is negative. In other words, the more kinship group, the more violent the collective action; the more the same occupation (unit) group, the weaker the violence. ④The variables with particularly significant effects include cheating, coercion, tandem and on-site stimulation, and the two variables of telephone and notice mobilization are slightly weaker; mobilization methods such as cheating, coercion, telephone and on-site stimulation show a positive correlation, while notice, The tandem approach, however, showed a negative correlation.
The youth violence in this film is unorganized and unplanned. A group of teenagers who are definitely geographically related and possibly related by blood and their parents stay away from the hustle and bustle and dominate one side. Of course, the mischievous people can't breed good things. This group of teenagers is extremely selfish and its boss is cold-blooded and ruthless. However, they are obviously not monolithic, because there is no choice, the weak can only mess around with the boss, even if they are often bullied on weekdays, they do not dare to resist, or do not want to resist.
For the time being, I will not discuss the male protagonist's reckless intrusion into this area that he does not understand without careful observation in advance; despite his girlfriend's dissuasion, he repeatedly clashes with the local snakes to show his true qualities as a man and stimulate the hormonal stupidity. Just look at the actual situation of putting yourself and his girlfriend in danger after the conflict has intensified.
First of all, the car could not be started, and he was subdued and his life was in jeopardy. Fortunately, his girlfriend escaped. He should be able to realize that only one principal and one accomplice among the teenagers in the second class have subjective violent tendencies, and he should also be able to realize that there is no savior falling from the sky, only self-help can be saved, but he is sitting still, begging for mercy to no avail, just Using swear words to resist the unskilled stabbing of the coerced accomplice, instead of trying to divide the enemy and provoke internal conflicts, is he still naive to think that he can be released with just a few knives? Sadly, the male protagonist has split himself, one is the spectator off the stage, and the other is the himself at stake on the stage.
Again, it seems that the female protagonist is more sober than the male protagonist. After all, the male protagonist is so focused on proposing marriage that he is a little bit suspicious of love bugs. And after she escaped the danger temporarily, she didn't try to ask for help (well, I know her mobile phone has no signal, and it's unrealistic to let go of the wolf smoke, but there will always be a way), and the second is to watch her lover tied up and endured. One knife after another (if it wasn't for this, the Fa Shark would not have died prematurely in such a bloody mess). Even if you can't find any weapons at hand (there is always a wooden stick), you can try to use your professional advantages and use language as a weapon. Even if you can't divide the enemy, at least you can attract the enemy's attention and help your boyfriend escape, right? Sadly, the heroine also regarded herself as a spectator, and even forgot to call the police at the first time (of course, calling 999 earlier is no good).
Second, the principal and accomplice of mass violence.
The main offender used a mobile phone to take pictures to coerce the youth gang to commit violent crimes together, a total of 5 men and 1 woman. A relatively "kind" boy was timid and was forced to cut the male protagonist's arm with the main criminal's fruit knife, but in comparison, he was more afraid of being photographed and leaving criminal evidence; next, a black boy The male protagonist's waist was severely cut with his own paper cutter, which was deep in his stomach; another white teenager took the main criminal's knife cleanly; the youngest boy, Cooper, was forced to use a black paper cutter to stir the male protagonist's mouth. It took a week; the most distressing thing was the girl, maybe the little girlfriend of the main culprit. She held up her mobile phone and dutifully completed the photo task, but there was no joy on her face, but disgust, indicating that she did not enjoy it. , and only out of loyalty and pressure.
The relationship between everyone in the gang has always been the same. The main culprit has only one trick. He fully trusts the little girlfriend and keeps her in control of the phone.
The first time I hoped that when the Indian boy appeared, the heroine asked him to lead the way, but was tricked back into the gang's lair, and was knocked out by the black man, and his hope was dashed. When he woke up, he was tied under a pyre with his dead boyfriend. The Indian boy was forced to set it on fire. The gang watched as the flames gradually turned from dead to living. Only the main culprit cheered and the girl was still taking pictures. The heroine miraculously broke free from the bondage and escaped when she was unprepared. The main culprit threatened to burn the Indian boy to death but did not make the heroine relent. The Indian boy was crumbling in the firelight, but the camera only showed the "good" boy and Cooper. This was a watershed that changed everyone's psychology. I don't understand why it was so simple.
Third, the deterioration of good people under certain circumstances.
As a primary school teacher, the heroine is gentle, patient, and full of enthusiasm and love for the children. She will correct her boyfriend's swear words and persuade him to stay away from right and wrong. But when she encounters a mutation, is in a state of extreme sadness and anger, and longs for escape or revenge, even in the face of the least threatening Cooper, she does not hesitate to kill her. Although she regrets it, if she chooses again. Once, I believe still won't change.
The gang found Cooper's body, maybe a cousin relationship, and the "good" boy broke with the principal, made a phone call, and was beaten to death by the rampant principal. The girl finally couldn't stand it anymore, fled, and was also killed by the car of the angry hostess.
I vaguely saw the director torturing the audience through the screen, you all flaunt your kindness, how should you deal with this situation?
Fourth, the main theme behind the movie - juvenile delinquency.
The heroine's second hope is not mentioned, but it points out the source of the tragedy - her parents. It is because of the father who takes going in and out of prison as his home that he has the son of the main criminal who dehumanizes. It is precisely because the upbringing is simple and rude and not upright that there are selfish, indifferent and weak accomplices. The responsibility of parents is heavier than Mount Tai, and if they are not careful, they will harm others and themselves and their lives! Of course, the issue of education is not the focus. The parents in the film are a bunch of social scum. In the face of juvenile violence, exploring how to deal with and fundamentally prevent it is the most serious problem.
If the male and female protagonists encounter an adult gang, it is definitely another story. Their IQ is dropped because they are facing "children". The male protagonist does not believe that the child can be so cruel, so he blindly hopes for mercy and saves his life; the female protagonist is in After recognizing the reality, he finally rose up to resist, but in the end, he was killed in the wilderness by this innocent vocabulary.
Fierce children are not as physically developed as adults, but their destructive power is no less than that of adults. They are like wolves in sheep's clothing, inherently confusing and deceptive. Be kind to them, and maybe it will end up like the male protagonist. Therefore, whether minors (any age group) commit atrocious criminal crimes should have their sentences commuted or even exempted from punishment, which is a cruel torture to the whole society.
I can't help but think of the frequent reports in the past two years that children of what age were violently killed by infants. How about the current situation of these violent children? The mentality of the perpetrator's parents? Do they really reflect on themselves, do they regret the beginning?
How to prevent juvenile delinquency? Of course, it is education, but parents have not been trained, assessed, and then obtained employment certificates, and there is no standard to judge whether they are qualified to raise the next generation, so how can education be guaranteed? Reproductive rights are the basic rights of all living beings, and I believe that no one dares to challenge basic human rights. It seems that there is still only one way to go with soft publicity. How effective is it? You know I know.
