The real event is creepy

Such a shocking thing is still based on real events, and the movie is still beautified, and the real events are even more terrifying than the movie.

This kind of group evil is really uncomfortable. Everyone thinks it is normal for a 16-year-old girl to experience such an encounter. Those children hide behind an adult to participate in the evil, while other adults don't see it. No one came out to stop, no one came to help, it was everyone who pushed Sylvia to her death.

Perhaps because of the many victims like Sylvia, the United States now pays so much attention to things like child abuse. I can only think that the future is bright to comfort myself after watching the movie.

At the end of the story, Sylvia found her parents, her parents told her that it was okay, she was with her family now, and she insisted on picking up her sister, on the other hand, her sister never did anything for her, Sylvia tied her shoes for her She was beaten for her, but she didn't dare to say a word, and she didn't even dare to tell her parents on the phone. I hope she can always live in guilt. Silence is the biggest accomplice.

Sylvia came to pick up her sister, opened the door, and found that everyone was anxiously doing something to the people on the floor. When she walked in, she found that it was her. She finally understood that she had never been out of the clutches of these demons. Finding her parents was just her hallucination before her death. At the end of her death, she did not get the help of her sister, the care of her parents, and the short sadness in this life is heartbreaking...

At the end of the story, Sylvia is back on the merry-go-round. Only the merry-go-round can give her a sense of security, but she is alone on the merry-go-round. There is no more hated sister behind her, and the parents below may be separated from them. Sylvia is happy.

The only consolation in the whole movie is that everyone is sentenced.
