These kinds of movies, based on true stories, have always been that reality is crueler and more bizarre than art.
In fact, the film still gives a glimmer of hope.
When she escaped from Getty's house, viewers seemed to see hope.
But this only leads us into a more desperate situation.
This is also one of the most brilliant tricks in the whole film. But it's also the saddest design.
When we follow the camera again to Getty's house with Sylvia, we get to see Sylvia at the last minute.
Sometimes, looking back on this film, it feels like a coincidence. Why did she meet that family in the car? Why go to her house? Why are they no longer brave? Even speaking to her parents on the phone...
Maybe Sylvia is always holding out hope that this will all be over soon.
But it's not until the end of the film that the reason for it all comes out:
God has a plan for everything, and I think I'm still trying to figure out my destiny.
In short, I still want to say that a lot of reality is very close to us, but the one seen in the movie is a very serious one.
What we've been through, and what we're about to experience, isn't much better than hers.
