I was really moved

In fact, I think it's good to translate the title directly into [Hard Candy], but the word "fruit" is a bit redundant.

Of course, this is just off topic.

I admit that my motivation for watching this film is not literary. I just saw an album called "Every girl has an uncle running in her heart" on the campus. Shown are all kinds of deep or shallow and incest-related videos.

"Hard Candy" is the last one. With a strong taste like me, when I saw the introduction of the story of a 14-year-old girl and a 32-year-old uncle (actually completely contrary to the content of the real film) on a website that is infested by various headline parties and only to gain traffic , I watched it without hesitation (…)

When I saw about one-tenth of it, I realized that I had been deceived.

Then I subconsciously went to see the category of the film---suspense film, so my bust grew bigger... You

know, I'm a coward who would be scared to sleep when watching "Detective Conan" alone.

Among the various films like beauties, suspense films have always been automatically classified as "cold palace" by me subconsciously.

But at the same time as being extremely timid, I am a coward with a curiosity that is no less than timid.

And this time, curiosity triumphed over fear.




However, when I watched this film, what I wanted to say was that I was moved.

Not to comment on the way of narration, the angle of the camera, the quality of the picture and other professional issues, just such a story itself, it is touching.

A talented young girl who has exhausted all her scheming and risked her life to seek revenge for her friend. In my opinion, every action of hers is full of justice and bravery.

Some people may question that such acts of revenge are too cruel, and some people may even doubt whether this girl named Hailey is normal.

Yes, from drugging to fake castration, from kidnapping to verbal inducement to death, it is indeed a bit unacceptable for a 14-year-old girl. But on the other hand, what caused her crazy and disgusting behavior? When two adult men use the most brutal way to destroy a little girl who is still in the hailstone stage and finally torture her to death, the degree of damage is no less than the castration of an adult man in my opinion. What's more, all of this is aimed at the good friend of the little girl who is at the age of daisy and has a longing for life? ! The torment of the dead is over, but for the living, especially the young girls who have just begun to turn the pages of their lives, how should they face their future lives? ? So, she chose the most extreme way, but in my opinion, it is also the purest idea, so that those who do wrong should be punished, remove the dirt for the world, and maintain world peace. Thinking of it this way, what's wrong with Hailey? As for the question of whether she is mentally normal, what I want to say is that a girl with a high IQ who can fully feel the pain of her friend's departure, and carefully planned all this with a clear mind, can you say that these actions of her are Insane?

It has always been thought that adulthood is only a legal definition, but now I know that there is an essential difference between an adult and a minor.

Believe it or not, even when they are on the verge of death, adults are still refuting their mistakes, living in the castle of lies they built, and refusing to come out. It's ridiculous that even when you're willing to say things like "You might as well just kill me", he still doesn't want to admit his wrongdoing...

Speaking of the protagonist, I don't think Hailey's heart is hers in the film. Behaviour is so powerful. Otherwise, she would not have launched such a careful revenge for the death of her friend. She is the scavenger of the turbid world. She just wants the world to return to her self-recognized beautiful state. She accepts Donna's departure, but she must also clear the world that she sees as dust. Just like the story of Little Red Riding Hood, just ask for a truth, and then let the bad guys get the punishment they deserve.

From this point of view, "Hard Candy" is actually a simple adventure about a girl with a righteous heart and a battle of wits and courage with evil forces for world peace. It has nothing to do with [fruit] at all~

    It's actually classified as banned in the United States, so don't blame me for giving praise. In a world where the details fail, the intention is perfect, and the wolves dominate, please give me a dozen Little Red Riding Hoods like this (than heart~)

    Using non-restricted lenses to capture the effect of restricted grades, human nature, ethics, law, morality and emotions are fighting and scrambling, deconstructing and reshaping many concepts that we are accustomed to, but I always think that it is inappropriate to induce and force the guilty to die. It's a really cool movie
