After reading it, there are actually many doubts, such as why Sylvia didn't escape, why didn't Jenny call the police, etc. It seems that as long as Sylvia and Jenny are braver, they can completely avoid the tragedy. But we can't ask them from the perspective of a bystander. After all, they are only 16-year-old girls, and their parents don't care much about them. They may not have the ability to judge many things at all.
And this is a movie based on a real event, and we can't look at this event from the point of view of a movie. The truth is not as simple as the movie says, because the tragedy does not happen in an instant, but Accumulated for a long time, Sylvia may have no chance to escape before realizing her tragic fate, and the children are not demons, they have also told others about the abuse Sylvia suffered, but People are reluctant to believe, or to intervene, Sylvia's tragedy is not only due to Gertrude's viciousness, but also to the indifference of society at the time. It's just that the movie doesn't explain these points.
"The Sins of the American Pastoral" is a tragedy. In addition to being uncomfortable after watching this movie, I still think of our country. The meaning of the film "American Pastoral Sins" is more than the film itself, because this is also the United States. The attitude of the filmmakers.
The tragedy of "Cims in the American Pastoral" not only happens in the United States, but also in China, and our tragedy is even more tragic than "Cims in the American Pastoral", because the protagonists in "Evils in the American Pastoral" at least have Opportunity to resist, but those children in our country have no way to resist.
I don't know if you know about the tragedies of the "Internet Quitting Class". Some children were sent to those militarized "Internet Quitting Classes" just because they were addicted to the Internet, and they never came out again.
Sometimes I really think, what the hell are the directors of our country doing? When I open the movie list, what are they filming? "Why Sheng Xiao Mo", "Tuhao 520", "Jingcheng No. 81", etc., at best, it is a holiday It's time to let the young couple pass the time, then have a meal, open a room, and have a blast. But none of the directors have taken responsibility and dared to stand up and reflect on the unknown corners of our country and the inhuman abuse suffered by those children in our country. In recent years, I have seen one of the most influential films in China, "Under the Sky", which was actually made by a reporter. I think this is something that those regular film and television practitioners in our country should feel ashamed of. There are always anti-war dramas on TV. We must remember the history, but we must not forget the present.
The meaning of tragedy is not to tell us how miserable people were at that time, but to wake up people today to avoid tragedy from happening again.
