Don't dwell on what's right and wrong in this story. The truth is, what we see all the time, is the revenge of the little girl. Everyone may have some morbid psychology to varying degrees. The photographer is like that, and so is the little girl. Regarding pedophilia, it always seems to be accompanied by a lingering shadow of childhood, just like how the protagonist in "Lolita" explains his yearning for teenage girls, and the photographer also gives what he thinks is the reason reason. Maybe this mental insanity can hit some people. The little girl's precocious puberty should also be understood as a pathological condition, possibly related to the family, and the subsequent revenge is so cruel that one has to wonder if she too is sexually abusive.
Internet chat and camera, as two symbols appear in the movie. They are tools for concealment and voyeurism, necessary to describe a character's character. Everyone is pretending, whether it's a photographer or a little girl, their real side is hidden on the other side of the Internet and cameras. The Internet has become an auxiliary for the formation of dual personality, and the camera is a prop for voyeurism. Human-to-human relationships are sometimes no longer connected face-to-face and must go through some medium. Duality and voyeurism seem to be more commonplace than pedophilia or sexual abuse. I don't know how many people are obsessed with their alternate identity on the Internet or hide behind the camera and squinting to look at others in the camera in an admiring gesture. These disguises make oneself more secure, and perhaps evil thoughts breed as a result.
Fortunately, movies are just movies. Rarely do such absurd and bizarre things happen in real life. But it's still better to be careful, please don't believe things on the Internet easily, stay away from photographers, and stay away from pretending to be mature little loli.
