After watching it for a long time, I didn't like the hero of the movie very much. Most of the movie was showing the vulgarity and cowardice of the hero. From installing a security monitoring system, peeking at the heroine taking a bath, stopping in the woods and peeping at the heroine peeing, to when one eye is broken, I never want to do anything, I just know how to cry; later sneaked into the rapist's house and wanted to rape guilty daughter.
It wasn't until the heroine's heart that finally became strong that she collapsed the moment she pulled the trigger, and her revenge plan was abandoned halfway. Only at this time did the hero show his grown-up personality. The rapist's other two accomplices were easily shot to kill one, and the broken butt elegantly stabbed to death the other shot in the leg. At this time, the male protagonist really stood up psychologically.
I saw some netizens say that this is the work of feminists, maybe this kind of tendency is very strong in the film, but I feel that this film may not be a praise for feminism.
In fact, according to the composition theory of horror films, there must be a silly B in the film. Of course, if there are multiple protagonists like the "Fatal Bend" series of movies, 2B, 3B and so on will be derived. But as far as this film is concerned, most of the part is about how stupid the male protagonist is, from overtaking and provoking and scolding people, to hitting the elk, ignoring the female protagonist's dissuasion to get into the car, and instead facing the gang of rapists with bad intentions. It shows how stupid the male protagonist is arranged. Later, after being disfigured, it was a complete mess, not only physically, but also psychologically, unable to face everything that happened, just thinking about escaping.
And when the heroine used the barrel of a gun to blast the rapist, she gave up revenge at the last moment. At this time, the image of the hero and heroine was completely reversed, the heroine took on the role of silly B, and the hero turned into a serf and sang. The heroine frantically destroyed the gun and drove away without caring about the safety of the hero. Most of the film's selfishness, cowardice, and shamelessness of the male protagonist are completely passed on to the female protagonist. The fact that he took the rapist's daughter to go with him on the road is just a fig leaf to cover up these dark sides.
Regarding whether the male and female protagonists should use violence to take revenge, many people may use law and morality to define whether this method is reasonable or not, but they completely forget that after the victim calls the police, the police do nothing. . .
When the law cannot maintain its own safety, and when the police cannot defend the dignity of the law, it is hypocritical and despicable to impose the shackles of legal morality on the victims. Not to mention standing in a falsely high position to discuss whether the victim's revenge is legal, ethical, human, etc., this is simply ridiculous.
