The director really did not handle it well, making some parts of the film very controversial.
However, as a youth growth movie, it is a pity that the audience still watches from the perspective of adults and is unwilling to substitute the perspective of children.
The audience completely becomes the mother, the aunt, and the audience in the movie. These people in the movie are always asking Amy what to be and not to be as a woman, what to be and not to be as a follower of Allah, and what not to be as a little girl. They scolded her that the dance clothes she was wearing were only worn by prostitutes, and they had to wash the body possessed by evil spirits with holy water. However, in Amy's view, it was just a pass for her to integrate into the world of her companions and adults.
Dancing hot and twisting her butt is nothing to a girl who doesn't know what's going on with her big aunt, and treats condoms as AIDS, it's just a way to get attention and likes, that's what adults show by themselves in front of children.
It's the adults who should be ashamed. Because whether it is in the movie or outside the movie, adults look at Amy the same way, and no one thinks about what she thinks.
In the first scene at the beginning of the film, Amy puts paper-cuts in the shape of a heart on her mother's bed, hoping to make her happy, but at night, her mother lifts the quilt to sleep without even seeing it, throwing everything on the ground. This, Amy has seen it all, and she knows it doesn't make her liked.
Cool companions at school, she peeks at them dancing and is driven by them with stones. At school, she tried to approach them, but was bullied by them. So, in order to become one of them, she went to film her male classmates going to the toilet, put on her brother's little clothes and pretended to be cropping the navel, and made fun with her little sister in a room where her mother wouldn't let her enter, stealing her uncle's cell phone, and being alone Secretly practicing dancing in the bathroom... All this, is there anything wrong with a little girl, she made a mistake, but she just wants to be liked by a group of people.
And, in the final analysis, everything she did was taught to her by reality, because only then would she be liked.
Most people grow up doing wrong things, doing bad things that touch the bottom line, and what adults stop us from doing often doesn't really keep us from doing it. These are all part of growing up.
The so-called pedophile, pay attention to the starting point of the word is originally an adult. However, this is a story about children.
