From the perspective of
the family of the protagonist of the incident, there are obviously various abnormalities in this family. . From the adoration and affection of the three sons to the father and the indifference to the mother, from the mother's description of her sex life, and from the camera to see the strangeness of the husband and wife. You can see the problems in this family. Including the father seeing a psychiatrist before his wife became pregnant, fearing that he would harass his children in the future. etc.
Creepy's old man runs computer classes in the basement and teaches children. Subscribing to child pornography from the Netherlands, there is a pile of child pornography around the corner in the basement. Younger son as assistant. How could not know. Especially the erotic game that holds pennis on the computer, and the game of stacking frogs that causes physical contact. How could the younger son not know. of course he knows.. but who actually did those actions? Are old men just doing marginalized crimes and all the blow jobs are sons doing? Or two people together? Nobody knows the answer.
But the film also launched a deeper discussion, why there is such a pedophile behavior. Because the father is unhappy in the family, when he saw his mother having sex with a man, he had the urge to vent and imitate or gain a sense of security, and the object of venting around him was his younger brother, so an abnormal pattern was formed, so that the boy grew up Still interested in little boys of his brother's age. The top student at Columbia University gave up a good job to become a teacher in the lower grades, and you can definitely say that he is because of his incomparable interest in education, not because of his morbid fantasy. there is a reason for that.
Personally, I think that the mother is pitiful in this family, but her forbearance of the feelings of the almost sexless and hypocritical marriage, the helplessness of her son's indifference to her husband's closeness and her own indifference, isn't it a kind of acquiescence to this criminal model? But on a deeper level, she's also from a broken family, and her own dad is a pedophile, so what she cares about may be different. From the interview with her and the videotape, seeing her reluctant expression and empty eyes, she is not a victim, suffering from both mental and physical torture.
As for the younger son, one of them is the key to the film. Has the father molested him? Although the film does not delve into this issue. If it is, then the crime rate of this son is very high, because this young son was only a teenager when his sexual impulses were frequent. The father later committed suicide in prison, leaving a sum of money for his son. In the film, I saw my youngest son come out of prison to be reunited with his mother. I don't know why I don't trust him, but I also know that his father has done unforgivable things to him. Now the young son found a girlfriend and set up a website to rehabilitate himself. I also went up to see a lot of photos of him and his girlfriend, which seemed very happy. But everyone knows that this kind of sexual preference cannot be changed or controlled. His father has been married to the opposite sex for 30 years.
As for the entry point of the film, the eldest son, his love and love for his father, is even a little unfounded defense. His words reveal his indifference and hatred for his mother and even for women. You can give the audience an objective look at the family. Makes one wonder what his father did to these little boys?
From the point of view of lawyers and courts, I think there may be some inappropriate ways of hearing and collecting evidence, but I support them very much. There is no doubt that sexual crimes, especially against children, are special. Children do not know who they are in contact with and what purpose they have. They do not know how these will affect their future growth, family love life and even sexual orientation. So it is said that social laws are obliged to protect their healthy growth, no matter what takes.
I like this movie very much, and the director did not bring personal opinions into it. . This documentary was shot from a relatively objective point of view. Film every bit of evidence and let the audience draw their own conclusions.
Off topic. I personally hate sex crimes against vulnerable women and children. When I was studying, I had to pass a path on the way to school, and there was a fence next to it. It was about as high as my shoulders at that time, and there were many trees planted on it and surrounded by iron wires. For a while, there was a man about 40 years old, every morning he went to school, he seemed to be waiting for me on the other side of the barbed wire, then he took off his pants, took out that ugly xx, and was disgusting to me Lol, the first time I panicked and ran away, I felt nauseous and wanted to throw up. He seemed to be very satisfied with my response, and then waited for me there for several days, and it became more and more exaggerated that I found out that he was touching himself, causing me to have nightmares every night, dreaming of that soft-hearted person who suddenly met something hard. Fortunately, there are barbed wire fences. . Looking back now, it's really scary. It went on like this for more than a week. I couldn't take it anymore, and I told my seatmate. Of course, I begged him to wait for me at the entrance of the alley in the morning. . I remember being lucky. .
