At first I just watched it as a normal movie. After watching it, I realized that it was just telling a real thing about him through film.
When I saw Sylvia being abused, I wondered why no one went to help her, in In court, when the lawyer asked Sylvia's sister why she didn't call the police or even tell anyone on the street, she just said i'm scared, when asked why the kids abused Sylvia, they just said i don't know, When the lawyer confronted Gertrude Baniszewski face to face, she didn't fucking admit it.
I was wondering why so many people saw Sylvia being abused, why no one was willing to help her, instead they helped to abuse Sylvia, every day Come to burn her with a cigarette butt, and the writing on her body is also done by many people. Why do you do this? Why is
human nature terrible? Wouldn't it really not be under the circumstances?
When they looked back and found they were wrong, they repented, repented to the god damn Jesus, what were they doing, what was going on in the moment the cigarette butt hit Sylvia They're
what people do, fuck it, I'm ashamed of being a human being

    Why does ellen always play this kind of character with a little abnormal or disorder~~ a little weird... This story has a blueprint..... all kinds of sins... all kinds of objects... all kinds of psychology. again.. Gertrude used all kinds of ideas to cover up his sins.. The world is bigger than everyone...

    The out-of-body scenario that the director added at his own discretion makes me sick. If you have even a little pity for Sylvia's experience, don't watch this movie. I really don't understand. What's the point of having things recreated in a movie?
