"Letterhead Story" (The Tale) is the first feature feature film written and directed by the American documentary director Jennifer Fox. She uses her own childhood experience and the temptation of a 13-year-old underage girl to be sexually assaulted by an adult. The past is brought to the screen. The 48-year-old Jennifer Fox is a successful documentary director and a university professor. He has a stable boyfriend who has been engaged for three years and has an independent, fulfilling and colorful life. All this was disrupted by a phone call from her mother. My mother accidentally found some diaries and letterheads from her junior high school at home, and the more they looked at them, the more they went wrong, and she kept calling her to ask the truth. Those diaries and letterheads ripped apart Jennifer's dusty memories, which may be memories that she was in the self-protecting subconscious and deliberately sealed in her brain. The whole movie is like peeling an onion. As Jennifer reads the words she once wrote step by step, and interviews the parties and witnesses of the year, she slowly explores the truth of the year. The most valuable part of this movie is that, as a victim, Jennifer was able to face herself sincerely and think carefully about why she walked into the trap carefully designed by two adults step by step, and why she was so good at the beginning. No resistance, why would he take off his clothes voluntarily, why would he think that the other party really loves himself. It was also during the whole process that her mother suddenly discovered her negligence of duty and regretted it.
Jennifer’s father is a well-known local developer. There are 5 children in the family. His mother is busy taking care of younger siblings who are younger than Jennifer. She is busy every day and often needs to ask her grandmother to come and help. The home is a noisy and chaotic environment. My father is sometimes dissatisfied with his mother-in-law's words and deeds and angers his mother. The mother is overwhelmed by the heavy housework and various complaints, and she has no time to take care of Jennifer. Therefore, as the older child in the family, Jennifer was ignored. During her summer vacation when she was 13 years old, she participated in an equestrian training camp and met beautiful equestrian coach Mrs.G and track and field coach Bill. The two became Jennifer’s best friends. They told her that they actually It was an extramarital relationship that gained Jennifer's trust. After the holiday, Jennifer kept communicating with the two. The content of the communication was very positive. The two continued to encourage Jennifer to be self-confident and self-reliant. And when Jennifer's mother rudely refused her want to go to the exhibition with her new friend Lucas, Jennifer found that no one cared about herself in this home. From then on, all she did was to escape this home as much as possible. Later, after school every Friday, Mrs.G would come to pick Jennifer to his farm for the weekend, where Jennifer found home. She believed that Mrs.G and Bill were the ones who truly understood themselves and trusted them completely. , There is no alert. Her parents were completely negligent at this time. A 13-year-old girl was picked up by an unrelated woman every weekend. As a parent, she was unaware of the risks. What's more, once Bill went to Jennifer's house to pick her up for Mrs.G, and gave small gifts to both Jennifer's parents. Jennifer's mother just watched a strange man take her daughter away. She was not without suspicion at the time, but Jennifer's father thought she was suspicious. In such an environment, a 13-year-old girl fell into the so-called love trap that Bill wove without realizing it. The sexual assault happened like this, and afterwards she has been firmly convinced that all this stems from love.
Whenever there is a case of a child being sexually assaulted, we generally reflect on the lack of sex education, but this film tells us very truthfully that what we should reflect on is that the parents have not fulfilled the responsibility of guardians. What Jennifer's parents did during the whole process was that they were not only unaware of the potential risks faced by their children, but also because of the long-term lack of emotional communication with their children, the family lost its attraction to the children. If the child does not get warmth in the family, then she will seek warmth outside the family, and the risks outside the family are unforeseeable by a minor. In this way, Jennifer's parents pushed their daughter out with indifference, giving the criminals a chance.
The same situation can be found in the domestic film "Carnival". Xiaowen's father lived in the unit all year round, while Xiaowen's mother didn't care about the children and used dancing to pass the time. She didn't go home until two o'clock on the night of the incident, and went to sleep when she entered the house. She didn't even notice that her daughter was not at all. go home. In such a family environment, of course, President Liu can easily do whatever he wants.
In "Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise" written by Lin Yihan, Fang Siqi's parents made the same mistake. They trusted the beast teacher Li very much, and voluntarily asked him to take his daughter to visit the art gallery. The teacher Li just took Fang Siqi away under the nose of Fang Siqi’s mother. Not an art gallery, but a small hotel.
