Earth is dangerous...

This is a very shocking film, and the performances of several actors are very good.
The focus of the film is not to reveal the sexual abuse of underage girls by perverted middle-aged men, but to focus on the pain and struggle, sadness and mutual hurt of girls, friends, parents and relatives after misfortune.
After Annie was "violated", she suffered great physical and mental harm, not only from the perverted man, but also from the police, her parents, classmates, and the whole society. She didn't want to believe that she was cheated and raped. She desperately told the psychiatrist and told her parents that she was "in love" with that man. In fact, she was telling herself, because this was her last spiritual sustenance. A line of defense - self-hypnosis, but in the end it was ruthlessly destroyed by the cruel reality...
When I saw this, I couldn't help thinking, what is the better way to deal with it for Annie? It was her friend who told the teacher, the teacher called the police, the FBI intervened in the investigation, and finally used cruel facts to let her realize that she was deceived and raped; or she resisted telling no one, and continued to immerse herself in the beautiful fantasy she weaved. , and in love with her "Charlie"?
I personally think that although it is cruel, although it may destroy her entire outlook on life and world, she should still understand the truth of the matter, because after all, she lives in this real world, which is inherently cruel and dangerous Yes, she can't be 15 forever, dreams will wake up and fantasy will be annihilated eventually. I don't know why I remembered the stupid root in "A World Without Thieves", why is he stupid? Why can't you get hurt?
At the end of the film, the father cried and repented in front of his daughter. I think he really needs to repent. Although it is a bit cold to say that, he has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. Maybe he is too doting on his daughter or overestimating it. Her ability did not allow her to recognize the darkness of the world in time, but as he said, Annie has always maintained trust in the world and people, and is full of confidence in herself - the education method of foreigners has always emphasized on children Can't scold, praise them, and build their confidence. This method at least had a counter-productive effect on Annie. She quarreled with her parents and family because of this pervert. She was too confident and even reluctant to admit that she was wrong from the bottom of her heart. She didn't want to believe it. She was deceived, even though that man had deceived her time and time again, she didn't know that she was actually the easiest prey to hunt in the eyes of others, easily played by this pervert.
A while ago, there was a debate about China's tiger mother-style education. Compared with the West, it is at two extremes. Since ancient times, Chinese people believe that filial sons are born under the stick, and minors do not have independent judgment and behavioral ability, so everything It's all up to the parents. With the continuous impact of Western culture in recent years, more and more parents have begun to learn from Western parents. However, I personally think that it is too much. The juvenile crime rate in the West, the number of child sexual abuse cases, and the proportion of minors who have sex tell us that Western-style education is not a panacea.
Therefore, for our children and grandchildren, we must not only give them enough space to grow, but also keep vigilant and keep an eye on their surroundings. We must hold them in our hands so that they will not run too far, and not be too tight. They suffocate, as if the lioness is holding the cub in her mouth, the strength is just right, it is really difficult, but there is no way, because the earth is very dangerous...
