Maybe people with weak hearts are not suitable for watching this movie. Although it seems to be a kind of despair, I still strongly recommend it. Why? The original intention of the director of this film is the same: "That's the real reason why we have to do this - never let this kind of child abuse happen again." In addition to prevention, I will add one more point, that That's what we need to think about.
The movie I planned to watch at 10 o'clock was delayed to 12:30 due to scheduling reasons. With excitement, I decided to start watching this movie when my roommates all fell asleep. I didn't expect that halfway through the viewing process, I would cover my mouth, shed tears, and shed tears, so I didn't prepare extra paper, so I just wiped it off. After reading it after 2 o'clock, I still have lingering fears. At that time, the feeling in my heart was only infinite sadness and resentment. The ending song of the movie continued to be played in the background, a high, lonely, desolate, helpless female voice hummed. I checked the real case information on the Internet, and it turned out that the reality is far more cruel than the movie. Turn off the computer, get into the bed, and keep replaying scenes in my mind. After an unknown period of time, in a daze, I seemed to dream of Sylvia's jumping Trojan horse, the puzzled faces of the Gertrude family...
The most puzzling thing to me is that, when I think about it carefully, the tragedies are interlinked. No one in the story can claim to have contributed to this tragedy. Even if it is a person or a link to make some changes, even if it is a trivial change, Sylvia may be able to survive. This change may be due to Sylvia's parents being more careful, or it may be that Sylvia's sister made a phone call, or the neighbor next door called the police, or it may be that Sylvia was reluctant to accept it, or it may be someone "discovered by conscience".. ....sadly, nothing has changed.
In fact, what I care most about is not why Gertrude did that, but why those children with pure and beautiful faces did that. From the beginning to the end of 56 minutes, the film gives me the most chills. From there, the abuse of sylvia naturally becomes a daily entertainment for children, smoking, beating, humiliating, splashing water, binding, lettering... The children seem to have learned a skill, they are triumphant, and they feel like they are watching a good show. Sylvia is not as good as a lab rat, like a lifeless puppet doll, numbly, living humbly. .....
I still remember that in the courtroom, the lawyer questioned the children:
"Did someone order you to beat Sylvia?" "No, sir"
"Did someone tell you to tie her up?" " No sir"
"Or spray her with water?" "No sir"
"Then why did you do that?" "I don't know, sir"
Every child doesn't know why they do it, they answer "no" At times, he seemed so puzzled and impatient, as if he was asking: Does this need a reason? Do I have to be told to do this for me to do it?
Sylvia's body was branded with "I am a prostitute and proud of it" and they were both branded with "I participated in the abuse of Sylvia and was proud of it".
In the beginning, is sex really good?
Like this story, if there is no adult teaching with normal social morality, they don't know what is against the morals of human nature, and they don't know what is heinous. No one forced them to do this, but when everyone stood in the same camp, formed a state of "group rage" and was not bound by the so-called "responsibility", sadism actually became an instinct!
After watching the movie, what I think about the most is: "Can I be such a participant?" I kept asking myself, maybe, in the same situation, those who abused, maybe me, maybe you, It could be everyone...in the story, every child is so ordinary, so normal, Gertrude is also an ordinary housewife suffering from poverty and marriage, however, you can imagine them in that dark basement What are you doing? I really feel a chill, am I also one of these evil spirits? ! ! I still don't want to believe it, at least I still believe in the minimum moral bottom line of myself as a human being. So I don't want to be sad, I don't want to despair, I'm not like many people who dare not watch the full movie or delete it immediately after watching it. On the contrary, I want to stay in the computer and show it to more people... Well
, that's all I've thought about, I still strongly recommend this film, don't think that you don't watch any horror thriller perverted movies, just watch Xiaoqing, how simple and beautiful life is. Who said that group of children are not simple and ordinary, who said that those neighbors are not us, a group who likes to crane their necks to watch the fun?
