Everyone in the know is a murderer

Irresponsible parents, indifferent neighbors, children growing up in abusive environments, timid sisters, Sylvia who doesn't know what to do with rebellion, single mothers who are under pressure and perverted, and the evil in human beings. Everything that led to such a bad event and such a tragic ending should not have happened, it should not have happened... Mr. Lu Xun once said: "The so-called tragedy is to destroy beautiful things for people to see." The beauty of Sylvia's heart and appearance , her resignation and her favorite merry-go-round... The beauty of all these being shattered is what people are angered and shocked by, and the movie based on real events is even more angered and shocking. Human nature is inherently evil, we just put on the mask of civilization. When evil has a place where it can be released, the ugliness and horror of human beings will shock the world. A single mother and a group of children, those children, those teenagers, are they really just young and ignorant? Is this single mother really just sick under pressure? Maybe each of them is vaguely looking forward to something.

I saw Sylvia escape, anyway, she finally has her own light again, the circus, the parents, even after all this, I believe, I want to believe that she can return to a normal life. She went back, "I gotta do this." I thought Jennie died...

The girl is dead, and the murderers always have their own ways to escape, "I have to take care of a large group of children who protect me at all times. I have problems both physically and psychologically..." "I don't know, sir. ""I don't know, sir. ""I don't know, sir. "…

Every insider is a murderer.

    8 points. Based on true events. It is precisely because the love for the eldest daughter cannot be released that the boarding mother in the play transfers her hatred to the innocent protagonist. Countless adults and children ignore the abuse and even enjoy it. Their selfishness and indifference are outrageous! The movie presents the evil of human nature after the enlarged consciousness of group sex nakedly in front of every audience, torturing everyone's heart!

    The film is based on real events that happened in Indiana, USA in 1965, and the filming is mainly based on court records at that time. Cruel evil, very shocking! The actions of the children, in particular, are pathetic and horrific. Catherine Keener as the villain did a good job.
