The form of the investigation is as serious as treating a bad serial murder case, but the content is to investigate the case of spray painting the second child on the staff car. Although I know that this is also a very bad incident that damages other people's property, I still find it funny. . As wronged student Dylan put it: "I know it's hilarious...but it's really not what I did! If I did, I'd admit it. Although I know it's a bit too much...but It's really fun!" - really, I understand the truth, but it's really fun!
Speaking nonsense in a serious manner, this makes people quite laugh. The biggest suspect in the school's eyes is the bad student Dylan, for three reasons: First, his friends gave contradictory testimony. Shit on a padded toilet is as uncomfortable as you put your butt on the other" so went to the "Precious Time" antique store and his girlfriend said he brought it to him by his side dog food, but there is no other evidence to prove it. When the recorder asked his mates, "If Dylan cheated on the exam and asked you to lie to cover it up, would you do it?" One of the members immediately answered in the affirmative, Ha, this IQ is really worrying. On the other hand, a good student of the National Honor Society named Alex acted as an eyewitness and said he saw Dylan again "frighteningly and extremely planned to carry out this act of vandalism." Second, he was an early A member of The Morning Show 9 ("The Morning Show 9"), one of the few in the school to have permission to delete surveillance footage. But his girlfriend argued: "Deleting videos is too high-end for him to be impossible. Do you know what FTP is?" Retaliation against Spanish teacher Shapiro, because the seemingly friendly and sympathetic teacher has been "not pleasing to the eye" and punished him many times on school probation. Fourth, he really likes...painting dicks.

Refutation ①: The painting style of the cock is different
Well, the first thing that made me laugh was when Peter, the producer of the documentary, and his partner Sam compared Dylan's dick to the dick on the staff car, and said, "But there's no pubic hair on the balls, I didn't think we were both. I didn't pay attention here!" At this point in time.
Refutation ②: Witness Alex is a little bitch.
Next, the protagonist duo began to investigate the authenticity of the testimony, and to investigate the integrity of the school's only eyewitness, Alex, and found that this guy looks like a person who likes to blow. Dylan's evaluation of him is: "He's a bitch... no, not the kind of whistleblower who likes to snitch, bitch means he likes to fuck." Alex's biggest blow is He said he had the hottest girl in school, Sara, fly him at a camping party. He showed his chat history with a smug look on his face, but to be honest, this conversation, in my opinion, is completely a perfunctory look of the goddess's kind invitation to him, while a long sentence is returned in seconds. , On the one hand, he returned a few words after a few hours, but Alex claimed that if the girl gave "Heyy" with two "y"s, she would be 100% willing to date you - and to my surprise, However, this statement has been recognized by everyone for some reason, and there are diagrams to prove it, eh? Ok? After that, I even made a 3D modeling diagram that simulates the state of jerking off at that time. Are you American high school students really strong?
Rebuttal ③: Shapiro's tires were not punctured.
The protagonist also investigates the Spanish teacher, Shapiro, claiming that the extreme vandalism was directed at her, because although everyone had dicks painted on their cars, only her tires were punctured by a nail. She sternly stated at the hearing: "We have no means of educating Mr. Dylan." She also took out pictures of Tintin on various whiteboards he had drawn over the years as evidence. On the other hand, when the protagonist was talking to her, she took out the records of her friendly correspondence with former students, her serious corrections on the students' homework, and said in a distressed tone how much she hoped to be able to Educate Dylan well. This very amiable and fat lady is respected by almost everyone. She graduated from a top university in California with a double honors degree in education and psychology. The school gave her a very high evaluation and called her invaluable; Favored by most students, countless ordinary students say she has a good heart and sees them as independent individuals rather than just students. In stark contrast, however, Dylan's mother had a low opinion of Shapiro, claiming she was the kind of kid who "likes to pretend to be your best friend but can come up with the most yin and yang words to ridicule your child, like ' He is so...special. '" Well, we might say that's an overly subjective, biased view. But at the same time there's another person, history teacher Karz, who Peter says "clearly doesn't understand the line between teacher and student." , and even the teacher who said in a more sarcastic tone that he "does everything in order to be liked by students" and "likes to pretend to be cool", came forward and accused when all his colleagues refused to express their opinions: "No , she is not like that. The vice principal once said angrily to the seniors that if the painting dick incident was not resolved, the off-campus dining privileges and prom of seniors would be cancelled, and Shapiro stood up and said, "I will do my best to see what is there." Can help everyone. But Karz says there's a fact that all the teachers don't want to say - it was Shapiro who decided to get the vice-principal to cancel the off-campus lunch. He says she's the kind of person who's the best at playing people, always pretending to be a good person and getting herself Everything you want. But all the teachers except Karz deny that they have an aversion to Shapiro, typical adults are ambiguous, but in the end, the protagonist group checks with the mechanic to show that Shapiro's car was not intentionally poked. It's just a nail in the head, yet Shapiro is deliberately hiding the truth to get his own way. Ha, this lady is not as amiable as she seems.
But these evidences are obviously not enough to let Dylan get away, so it becomes very necessary to find the real perpetrator. The suspects were narrowed down to the nine-member group of the morning show, and then those with alibi were removed. The part about Chinese exchange students was quite interesting. Zhang Ming, the nicest student in the whole school, shockingly put twenty The dollar was handed over to the Lost and Found office, and it took a full fifteen minutes for a nosebleed in chemistry class to report to the teacher if he could go to the infirmary. If I remember correctly, it was the only group of friends who weren't Dylan, but when asked "Do you think Dylan did it?", he said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "Well...I'm not sure, Dylan has always been nice to me, although he is a bit Racist." And Dylan also said that although he is nerd, he is a nice person; but on the other hand, Chinese people are very mysterious, who knows what they are thinking Woolen cloth? Ahahaha, the standard Racist spoke.
The student council president under investigation in the Morning News Nine questioned the documentary filmmakers Peter and Sam, who were also in the news group, "Why are you investigating us but you can't be investigated?" Peter thought about it and thought it made sense, so Come on then! The allegations were described by Peter as "feeling like a joke". In fact, the whole play is actually analyzing some absurd cases in a serious way, and that part is really serious nonsense: Peter, born in a middle-class family, with above-average grades, has a very hot independent mother, You've been making movies all these years, and you probably don't know, because these movies are unbelievably bad. So is it possible that he committed a crime? The answer is right in front of us... Peter, loves dicks. So, is he going to make this case to combine two of his favorite things, which are -- make a movie about dicks? I have to say this sounds like a lot of sense, especially if I turn the painting dick incident into a murder case, a serial killer who likes to make movies, and then make a movie about the murder to show the world. The so-called "idea" of the slogan is self-hyped by the way, it sounds like a familiar routine, I almost believed it?
At first, I was really happy watching it, laughing when the protagonist listed all kinds of weird reasons in a serious manner, and also felt relieved that the two-faced teacher's trick was exposed, maybe because I was still a student, and I In high school, there was also a kind of good friend who liked to pretend to be kind, but in fact, only those good students could be seen in their eyes, and I felt a little hypocritical. In the second half of episode 4, when Peter starts targeting Sam and ends up affecting the friendship by exposing each other in front of the camera, he begins to examine whether he is also unconsciously labeling him during the conflict with Dylan, and the overall The style began to take a turn. But while watching episode 5, I was still drawn to the goofiness at the so-called "Nana Party" of American high school students, the boys wearing granny clothes who voted the hottest granny, shoving girls into the pool and then Holding a cloth with her name written on it and inviting her to be her prom partner, Chinese students are persuaded to drink the first to ninth glasses of wine, the couples caught on the kissing camera are about to kiss, they don't know how to put their heads The boy stuck in the railing. But looking back, things started to get a little bit quieter. During the video investigation of the grandma's party, Peter did not find that Dylan and his party were planning to do a dick prank, but unexpectedly found that the can of spray paint with so many dicks was on it, and found that the spray paint can was because It was so old that it had to be shaken again every ten minutes to get the paint sprayed, so the people on the car with the splattered marks needed to be investigated: the vice-principal, the team coach, and a Japanese teacher who seemed to be making up the numbers . In order to investigate the students who may have committed crimes against these teachers, Peter needs to check the public complaint file records that should be at his fingertips, but finds that the school has never uploaded a record of the school teacher's complaint to the public platform for four years. With the unexpectedly great influence of this "documentary" in "reality", Peter's lens was too in-depth, and the school's attitude towards the documentary changed from "playing with children" to strongly prohibiting it. The protagonist group was suspended from school, and Mr. Karz, who had previously made unfavorable remarks against the school, was also expelled. Although I know this is just a fake documentary, it's still a little uncomfortable to see this funny buddy forced to laugh after being fired. Karz, as Peter said, put himself in a group (students) that he did not belong to. He thought it was very boring to be a history teacher. Before being fired, he was the only teacher who was willing to speak in front of the camera. Peter speculated that maybe It's "to pretend to be cool and say those eye-catching words", when colleagues say "he's like that, just listen to what he says", his integrity is questioned, but as a movie viewer, I think he is more like A big boy who refuses to be as slick and hypocritical as other adults and wants to speak his mind. However, his speech after his dismissal was more radical and sentimental than before, and perhaps not as credible as before.
In the documentary, the solidarity of the "real society" once did a disservice to Peter's investigation. Dylan made a prank call to the neighbor's elderly during the crime time, so that the elderly daughter who could not bear the harassment of people in turn destroyed important voice messages in revenge. But the solidarity of the "real world" also helped Peter, with the school under pressure to hand over a hidden complaint record. Peter found records of football coaches having "inappropriate words and deeds to students", and used this as a breakthrough to speculate that he may have sexually harassed students.
However, the coach did not attend the student, but the parent of the student who did attend. Looking back, the parent of the student was actually the mother of Dylan's girlfriend Mackenzie. Dylan's relationship with this girl was not normal, which had been foreshadowed from the very beginning. Dylan unilaterally thinks he's a good match for her, but not only his friends, but other classmates think "let's end this relationship now, it's just torture!" Mackenzie's character is cut in this episode. Thoroughly, through the mouth of an ordinary student who said, "I used to copy her answers in the exam, but now I can only copy Zhang Dan's! He looks very smart, but that's not the case at all!" Just the story of the girl dangling her feet next to Dylan. The originally bright top student girl suffered a decline in grades due to the divorce of her parents. The complex relationship between her parents and her parents made her start to give up on herself, alienate her friends at school, get no grades in every subject, and become addicted to being a female anchor on the Internet. Dylan's friends didn't want to see him, but most probably it was because she dumped Dylan three times, and one girl began to reveal that she felt "Mackenzie is suck." Because she is an overly emotional crazy woman, she once lost control of her emotions due to the divorce of her parents, and deliberately fouled wildly on the basketball team, elbowing another girl in the face. And when she slowly turned red under Peter's camera, showing the sharp inner side brought by her unsound family of origin, she was without grace. It is a stark contrast to Peter, who pays attention to self-reflection while pursuing the truth, and who does not stop questioning while introspecting.
But in the end, Mackenzie wasn't the culprit in the case either. Don' At the beginning of t lie to me, I said that the lie detector alone is unreliable to identify criminals because the lie detector can't identify the reason why people lie, people lie, exaggerate and cover up the truth, not necessarily because they are the case prisoners, and it is also possible that they are covering up another dark truth. What Mackenzie covered up was a video of her chatting with people on a live broadcast platform with colored edge balls. She knew that this video would be the key to Dylan's reversal, but she was reluctant to show it in order to protect her reputation. Understandably human, but seeing Dylan's decision to make the video public, I'm so glad he didn't live up to that "I'll do anything for you" dog-licking promise for a woman who wasn't really in love with him . Dylan was vindicated, and he was treated like a star when he returned to school, greeted by people he didn't even know well, and people who wanted him to have a hairy dick on his graduation brochure. At first he was happy because he was accepted, but when he watched the documentary about himself, he heard people who were not familiar with him saying "he's a fool", "he can't graduate Who cares about him." His expression slowly turned sad. Dylan is a simple person, simple and happy. When he was a child, he was the kind of kid who would run to the beach and let the waves knock him over and then laugh. Now he is still a kid who only knows how to draw his dick on a whiteboard all day long. Big boy, but as a classmate said, "I thought it was quite interesting at first, but after more times I think...you are enough!" He took some pictures of "Baby Smell Farts" and "Nun Climbing Trees" low-level prank videos like that and think you're a rising star. He's too stupid to tell a lie, and will honestly admit it when he's caught stealing french fries. It is too difficult for him to delete the surveillance video after committing the crime. It is normal for him to be photographed by the neighbor's surveillance video. To be loyal and loyal to the girl who thinks she is a good match, she is always easily thrown away by the other party, and she relies on doing stupid things like a pug to save the other party, thinking that it will be all right. He lives so simply until he suddenly realizes that people around him have been viewing him as a fool and a fool as a complete joke - but this impression is ultimately caused by his behavior, it seems There is no way... He was proven innocent, but he was forced to see the true views of the people around him, he was also forced to see his girlfriend's secret and broke up with her completely, he still wasn't admitted to the university, and Shapiro still thought he There is no cure. He gave himself up to protest by drawing a dick without pubic hair in front of Teacher Shapiro's house. But in any case, I think it's better to have the truth than to stay in the dark for a lifetime, because what Dylan gets is not some "false happiness", whether the truth is known or not, both are similar sense of pain.
At the end of the story, Peter accidentally discovered that the student council president who claimed to be studying CPR during the incident did not actually know CPR. After verification, her certificate was actually given by her boyfriend. This girl, who is addicted to various protests in political activities to show herself, is also suspected of having a grudge with the team coach, giving her a sufficient motive for committing the crime. But the story comes to an abrupt end here, and Peter doesn't pursue the truth any further. But to be honest, I think that when it comes to this level, almost most of the spectators will label the student council president suspicious and make all kinds of speculations that are not good for her. If you add a comment, it's better to just prove her innocence or guilt. Isn't this kind of cruelty so far? ——But this is just a fake documentary, and we don't know where she will go in the end.
