A feminist awakening

: Watching British films, the violence shown will always make people a surprise that is seriously different from the old American genre films. It is direct but not artificial; it is naked but rich in metaphors; it is repressed, obscure but flamboyant, character; it is rough and perverse; it is simple and straightforward.

: Another small-budget production that is very similar to "Eden Lake", on a par because the film is still consciously analyzing complex human nature.

: male and female. But this time women definitely have the right to speak. Even though Alice is in a completely violated position at the beginning of the movie, she has since become the absolute dominant leader in the movie: leading Adam to seek revenge, and Adam has always been weak and led. Adam is even an impotent (a wonderful sexual metaphor for the complete loss of male power) for a considerable part of the movie. And in the end, Alice used a very "male" way to get rid of shame (it doesn't matter whether you shoot or not, in my opinion), and then just right on the precipice, Alice who woke up took another one in the movie. Sophie, a woman who was already in a disadvantaged position, went to the brave new world. And the dirty mess left behind must be cleaned up by men: Adam at this time is no different from a trapped beast, and his final killing is low-level, low-level, and incompetent. But before the close-up of Adam given at the end of the film, we have to figure out who is guiding Adam slowly to this point. The most primitive sin in human nature is beyond redemption, but in the end, there are only men (stupid men) left, whether it is the avenger or the avenger.

: The director of this film is definitely a feminist through and through, no doubt about it.
