At the beginning of the movie, when I saw the black and white photos of the heroine, and then heard the narrative tone of the heroine, I unconsciously thought of "Lovely Bones", and vaguely guessed something. But the later part of the soul returning home was still shocked. I thought it was a happy ending. I thought she escaped. I thought she didn't die - I'd rather guessed wrong - but everything was just a beautiful dream, or Back to the imagination in the flashback.
I am a relatively "heartless" person, and I can't empathize with the depression and depression of some emotionally delicate audience when they face this real event. Compared with other movie reviews such as "uncomfortable" and "abuse", I feel more "shocked".
The first place in the film that made my bones stand out was when a group of children abused the heroine collectively in the basement - a group of teenagers or even a few years old, who skillfully used cigarette butts, sprayed with water pipes, and tied them with ropes. A young girl in the Mood for Love. A child is abusing, and other children are instigating, coaxing and applauding, and this picture is really happening in the American countryside.
I can't help but ask myself: what makes a bunch of kids start evil? Is it human nature? Could it be that sadism comes from an evil instinct deep within the child? This leads to the discussion of goodness and evilness, and here I don't want to get caught up in the endless debate on this eternal topic.
I just want to find more realistic reasons. After thinking about it, the answer I gave is: the lack of family education, the imitation of parents' behavior and the mind of blind conformity. These three work together to lead to a collective tragedy.
If the mother had properly educated the children of right and wrong, if the mother was a well-bred person who would not punish the child physically, if even one of the children of integrity stood up to stop the actions of others, would the children not be like that? Such unbridled evil? So these three points, I think are more realistic and direct factors.
As for sloppy parents, cowardly sisters, indifferent neighbors, etc., there are many other film reviews. I will only discuss the small direction of child abuse.
A little digression: the looks of the actresses in this film are actually quite online, whether they are decent or villains. After reading it, firstly, I was fanned by the heroine and sister's face at the same time, and secondly, I hated the villain's mother and Paula so thoroughly that I even felt that they were a little pitiful - although, of course, pitiful, this could never become Your reason for violence. But in fact, it is still possible to find two more fierce-looking actors to play, but this may also be a contrast that the director deliberately created when casting a role in order to create a huge contrast between the inside and the outside-the outside looks beautiful, pathetic and pitiful. A woman's heart may be dark and vicious, like a snake and scorpion.
