2018 is a year when women are fighting back against ubiquitous sexual harassment in the workplace, colleges, and society.
All this is fermented on social media, and I see that some bystanders will ask: "Why don't you resort to the law or social institutions?"
Today's movie will give us some inspiration.
The blue weird forest, accompanied by a deep and sincere confession, can not help but make people creepy. The film did not rush to explain, but throws out the big title of the film-"unsane".
Immediately afterwards, the scene shifted to the street. The screen showed the heroine Sawyer on the street. There was no camera pulled in, as if she was deliberately restricted and could only watch from a distance. The audience could not help but see One question-why do you want to spy on a woman so much?
In just 3 minutes, the film successfully created the horror and suspense tone of the film.
I looked at the progress bar and wondered if the director and screenwriter could give me a satisfactory answer in the remaining 95 minutes.
Don't start with gods and ghosts like domestic horror movies, and end with insanity.
Fortunately, this video gave me a satisfactory answer.
This film is a film that was shot with iPhone7 throughout.
According to comments on Rotten Tomatoes, it holds 80% freshness, with an average score of 6.6/10; the website agrees: ""Heartbreak" has released Steven Soderberg’s B-level film master. Involved in the timeless psychological thriller field and brought it high-tech film-level production.".
The plot of the film can be roughly divided into two parts.
The first part is the spread of suspense and the unfolding of the theme.
The heroine Sawyer is a bank clerk who dared to talk back to customers, and even dared to refuse the invitation of the boss. She was a strong female man.
In a date, she made it clear before the boys that she wanted a one-night stand.
She brought him to the house, but when she was making out, she screamed loudly, trembling all over, and ran into the bathroom. The boy didn't know the situation and left.
She knows that her psychological problems are getting worse. She is actually a victim of a stalker and a victim of sexual harassment.
Being in a strange city alone, she never thought of telling her mother about her plight in the video, but chose to seek help on the Internet. In this way, she found the Gaoxidi Behavior Center.
At the Gaoxidi Behavior Center, she opened her heart to the receiving doctor. She told the doctor that she even had suicidal thoughts.
Sawyer was relieved a lot after saying it all. In the end, the doctor asked her to sign a contract. She hadn't seen the terms of the contract clearly after she had discharged her heart. She didn't know that it was a contract to agree to hospitalization.
Sawyer, who was about to leave the hospital, was forced to stay in the hospital for a day, living with a group of people who behaved abnormally.
After trying to be patient, she broke out and injured the medical staff.
And because of the violence she had to stay here for another 7 days.
During the period, she called the police, but the police chatted while looking at the contract.
Sawyer asked the doctor for help, but the doctor identified her as a patient and did not listen to her explanation at all. He even heard the phone call at the time of diagnosis.
She had to line up to take the medicine when she was not sick, but while taking the medicine, she discovered that the medical staff who arranged the medicine was the person who had been following her-Sterling, but the employee card showed that his name was George.
She yelled loudly, but none of the mental patients, doctors, and nurses believed her, and instead tied her to the bed.
She was so excited that she told the doctor what she saw, but the doctor's reply was "I want to add risperidone and tablets to your prescription."
She had to continue to face the stalker and the repression of being considered a lunatic.
There is no way to the world, she found that there was a person in the ward who believed that she was a normal person-Knight, he told the shady of Sawyer Hospital, and he had a mobile phone.
She dialed her mother's phone and asked her for help. Mother came to the hospital and vowed to take her away.
This is the first part of the film. The plot progresses to this point. Under the control of the plot by the director and screenwriter, the audience is thrown into a movie world full of suspense. The audience sees what Sawyer has seen and thought.
At the same time, the audience also saw the absolute authority of the professionals around him. On the one hand, we understand Sawyer's situation, and on the other hand, we questioned that professionals are contrary to our trust in professionals in daily life.
In the face of these questions, the audience has to think about who is normal, is Sawyer crazy, or these professionals?
The author of the film expressed that this series of suspense, the stalker caregiver in the mouth of George Sawyer, appeared in Sawyer's mother's room and got the author's reply. In the film, Sawyer said it was true.
An abnormality has appeared in the professionals, but the professional institutions have not noticed it.
At this time, the plot of the film began to shift to the second part, and the real fear began.
Sawyer was shaken in the hospital. She felt that she was an abnormal person. But Knight still believed that she was normal as always, which comforted her.
Sawyer also told Knight that the stalker's harassment forced her to apply for a restraining order from the court, but she still had to leave the city where she lived and shut down Facebook.
But now she still couldn't escape the surveillance of this stalker, and the law that should have protected her didn't work.
One night she found her mother's ring under her hospital bed. She called immediately, but no one answered.
The stalker in the hospital also found out that Knight was secretly helping Sawyer.
Next, Sawyer found Knight's mobile phone under her pillow and opened it to see Knight who was scarred.
She ran away, but was immediately put on a calm squeeze and locked into the basement.
And the stalker has been waiting for this opportunity to be alone with her.
At the same time, Knight's death was discovered by medical staff, and Knight's identity was also revealed. He was an undercover agent sent to investigate.
The real George's body was found, and the police had to investigate this professional organization.
Whether Sawyer can escape, and the fate of the Gaoxidi Performance Center, everything follows the best expectations of each of our audiences.
Sawyer cuts the stalker's neck in the blue forest at the beginning of the film.
The management of Gaoxidi Behavior Center was arrested.
Justice will come eventually.
How to develop to this point is the most quintessential part of the film, and it is not spoiled here.
After 6 months, everything seemed to be back on track.
Sawyer was promoted, and the stalker died.
But at the end of the film, Sawyer saw a back figure similar to a stalker in the restaurant. She picked up the knife on the table and walked straight to him.
When he turned around, she realized that it was her own illusion.
It seems that all nightmares are over, but the scars entangled in the hearts of these women may never be eliminated. Isn't this also the mood of all women who have been harassed?
The horror created by the film in the Gaoxidi Behavior Center is not only a film-type experience, but also shows us the physical and mental shocks to the victims when these professional institutions to protect the victims and the laws and regulations fail. Institutions and laws are meant to protect them.
Out of the movie world, everything in the movie is staged one after another in the society, this is the real horror.
On social media, when women share their experiences of being sexually harassed, bystanders will ask: "Why don't you resort to the law or social institutions?"
I don't want to criticize too much, but from the perspective of the victims, whether these bystanders have considered whether the institutions and laws that should protect them around them have failed.
If this is not taken into consideration, aren't we the nurses and doctors in the film who want to tie the victims to the bed and put them in the basement?
