When the young Madeleine was playing in the park, she was sexually assaulted by a seemingly kind old man. She was frightened and never spoke. The old man was released because he was diagnosed with mental illness. Time flies, Madeleine is fifteen years old and has grown into a beautiful girl, ready to be released. Over the years, she has been living in seclusion on a farm with her parents. Although still unable to speak, life is contented. Some compensation.

The farm is in a remote location. She missed the bus to go home and met a gentle and humble man who invited her to ride a ride. The girl had a good feeling for this gentleman's man, and got in the car. Who knows that this man is a villain, he first stunned Madelein with drugs, and then asked a doctor to inject her with drugs. To control this girl as a prostitute. Soon, Madeleine's dependence on drugs became stronger and stronger, and she failed to get her wish after several escapes. Even if he escapes the control of a man, he cannot do without the pain of detoxification. Reluctantly, she had no choice but to stay behind and be a prostitute.

She was not polite to the first guest, and even scratched the guest's cheek. In punishment, the man blinded Madeleine in one of his eyes. In the face of violence, the girl resignedly resignedly. The beginning of the pick-up career was like a walking dead, painful, and without any hope for the future. Another girl who was tricked by a man gently held Madeleine in her arms and told her to have hope. Only by catering to the guests and earning money can there be capital to leave this deep pool.

Madeleine stole a letter from her parents, only to realize that her only relatives had passed away. The reason is that the man who deceived him was single-handedly planned. When everything was lost, my best friend, the only girl who had cared and taken care of her was killed by a certain guest. Crying until she was on her bloody mattress, the bed where countless men had slept, Madeleine finally decided to take revenge.

She learns taekwondo, drives a car, shoots, and every guest who insults her is a target of revenge. The last thing to get rid of is the man who abducted her to be a prostitute and contaminated her with drugs.

"Thriller-en grym film" A CULT film that combines eroticism and violence, shot in 1974 in Sweden. Director Bo Arne Vibenius is said to have been Fellini's assistant director. The lens style of the whole movie is very different, with a large number of subjective close-ups and slow motions, crocheting out a very distinct cult work.

Christina Lindberg, the actor of the heroine Madeleine, is a Swedish beauty (described as a loli look in today's words). She was born in 1950. She had always been the master of pornographic movies before. This film naturally did not waste her attractive figure. Not to mention all three points, and even work hard. Lindberg was already 24 years old when filming the "Diary of Sexual Violence", and the age of the role in the movie was set as a 15-year-old girl. This Swedish beauty with a devil figure and an angel face is more than capable. Petite body, immature face, clear eyes, smooth long hair... No one would have imagined that this woman was over twenty-four years old.

Frustratingly, the main gimmick of this CULT film still revolves around eroticism and violence, so it did not bring Lindberg the expected transformation after it was released. Soon thereafter, she officially withdrew from the film and television industry.

"Diary of Sexual Violence" is a CULT work that I personally like very much, not to mention the story. (Actually, the story is a one-line revenge) The main reason is that the director's expression of the camera is too different, from the color of the screen to the position of the camera, he has an experimental style. For example, the blood flowing from the corner of the mouth of a person who was beaten violently (or sprayed out) is shown in slow motion, and you can see the teeth that come out of the mouth and fly into the air. The blood was flowing like a pour, but it poured out slowly. The bullet is shot into the human body, and the blood is sprayed out at a certain angle that can be traced under the impetus of inertial force. You can clearly see any moment of struggle and deepen the expression of death.

Some people don't like this movie, thinking that it is nothing more than an erotic film with the help of revenge as the theme of the movie, and the character changes and the transformation of personality strengths are illogical. For a CULT work that was born in the 1970s, later generations could have boldly imagined and guessed its intentions. The movies of that period had no rules to follow, and the so-called cults were both good and evil, and there was no standard. Simply picking up the story of the movie to understand the whole movie is still not objective enough. Film is the seventh art that condenses literature, drama, music, sculpture, painting, and architecture. No one stipulates that the director can only follow one of these elements to make a movie, and vice versa.

The second half of the film is Madeleine's revenge journey. Ironically (I think it was a deliberate arrangement by the director), this girl subdued and got rid of the police roundup, driving their police car to block another enemy. In other words, every crime is driven by the police. At the beginning of the film, a police car slowly drove into the scene, but in the process of public security patrol in the city, the young Madeleine was sexually assaulted in an open public place, and the murderer was finally exempt from criminal law because of a mental diagnosis. The first victim, Madeleine, played the responsibility of the "enforcer" in the second half of the movie. She drove a police car on a small road in the suburbs. The police lights flashed, which seemed to represent notarization (patrol), but how many in broad daylight? Is sin covered up? It is not only responsibility but also justice.

Madeleine finally caught the man who had abducted her, and she designed him with a dark humorous way of death. He buried the man in the rubble and could not move (the pistol had broken the man’s legs before), and then tied a rope around his neck, and tied the other end of the rope to the horse’s saddle. The sun was hot, and Madeleine put a bucket of water more than one meter in front of the horse. As long as the horse was thirsty, she would move forward to drink water, and the rope around the man's neck would tighten, and then suffocated to death.

Madeleine arranged everything in order, and sat in front of the man, waiting for the horse to move. In the sun, she looked blankly at the man who ruined her life. In other words, Madeleine's life was destroyed as early as her childhood sexual assault. She could not speak and lost the ability to express. She avoided society at first, hiding in the farm. However, evil does not appear imperceptibly all the time, and using violence to control violence has become the only means of salvation.

At the end of the movie, Madeleine drove away slowly in the police car.

Leave, end.

The director gave her a freedom, or right, a right to be self-directed. But the Madeleine who left is no longer the weak Madeleine. What ends is the past, what begins is the future.
