About revenge. As the movie poster shows, Little Red Riding Hood carries the big bad wolf, and the fairy tale is subverted.
hard candy, slang term for underage girls.
Who said a KID should be innocent, and who said a 14-year-old girl should be taken home by a 30-year-old man who chatted online for 3 weeks and played with it? At the beginning of the film, I was really scared because Haley's simple shyness was so familiar with Jeff's. Is it another LOLITA?

She considers every detail, she breaks his mind little by little, she binds him and deceives him that he has cut off his testicles, she finds evidence of his pedophilia, she defends his three counterattacks, she destroys everything she comes The traces of the past, she let him commit suicide.
The depression of the film comes from the shaking of the camera, the continuous but decisive dialogue and the threat of edge balls every time. She was so smart, "I'm a good student". But the wonderful thing is that she has a complete character. When she talks with her neighbors, a few ordinary questions make her panic--yes, she is only 14 years old, and she is still a child after all. But she avenged her friend who was tortured and killed, and became the goddess of nemesis.
Can't say it's not cold. Humanity has always left me unimaginative. It is difficult to say whether the virtual network is an accomplice or a hallucinogen. After all, it is you who gave yourself the illusion, whether you hurt others or get hurt. Should we be tougher on the inside and softer on the outside, in this skeptical world - "Never drink from someone else's hand", Hayley's words apply to everyone.
10:29, the film ends. It was raining heavily outside the window.
