Before the title of the film came out, it was a peaceful evening life for a pair of "father and son". "Father" went home from get off work, closed all doors and windows, cooked, had dinner with the child, urged the child to go to bed, "father" watched TV, washed, and entered the child's room. ——From here there is something strange, followed by the shot of him washing his genitals, and then marking the notepad to indicate that a certain task has been completed. This is no ordinary task, it is the darkest and most horrific evil of mankind: child molestation. There are a lot of still long takes, and even when the camera is moving, it's a gentle follow-through of the locked characters, with very few lines and not even music (except for Michelle listening to "Sunny" in the car near the end of the film, which It is also the ending song, it is an ironic coincidence that it collided with the ending song of Stephen Chow's "Yangtze River No. 7"). In this way, the director let the characters in the camera speak with their actions and actions, with a strong sense of reality and a calm and objective atmosphere, which gradually made the audience feel psychologically afraid. This kind of subject matter cannot be shot with enthusiasm, or deliberately exaggerated, and too much subjective evaluation is involved, otherwise it will be difficult to shoot the heart of a special human - the audience who chooses this film must want to know what kind of human pedophile Michel is. He seemed normal and attracted to women—women who were attracted to men who were mysterious and reserved, were popular with colleagues, and were promoted. On the one hand, he has a cold rationality, and his work is rigorous and organized. He takes good care of the child when he is sick. At the same time, he prepares both hands, digs the grave, and goes to the pharmacy to buy medicine; on the other hand, he has a half-child personality and can enjoy Watch animals, play jigsaw puzzles, and use snow to find kids in snowball fights with your kids. The normal and abnormal life of a pedophile is portrayed in place, which relies on layers of details. For example, when playing with binoculars in the scenic spot, Michel asked the child to follow the angle he adjusted to see the distant scene, reflecting his paranoid and stereotyped character. Looking at the cleaning child, Michel's body language revealed that he was getting more and more excited physically and mentally, and it was logical that he would immediately let the child do sex services. In order to appear normal, and to win the favor of a woman - possibly her mentally handicapped child - he has sex with her by doing it from behind and masturbating first. News of missing children, surprise visits from female colleagues all aroused his fears ... details, to see his character, and his deep-rooted sexual eccentricities, even torment. The behavioral development of the victim boy also makes sense. He was imprisoned in a room that was not too lacking in material conveniences. From the beginning, he was submissive, fantasizing about contacting his parents, and becoming more and more intolerable of loneliness, attacking Michele with words - calmly mocking him as belonging to the high unemployment group - —And then more and more physical attacks on Michelle, until the pot of boiling water poured on him ended the happy dinner plan for Michelle and him to celebrate his promotion, ended Michelle's last reason, and made him in the car accident. Died in Yellow Springs. It was cruel for Michel's mother to open the door to the secret room, is the child still alive? How does a mother deal with an unfamiliar deceased child? Defiance is an attempt to escape from a deformed sexual relationship, and more importantly, the long-term confinement has brought him to the brink of collapse, and claustrophobia can make a child lift a killing knife. A conscience film that protects the dignity of both the victim and the victim. Highlights: For fans of minimalist style. At the dinner table conversation, Michele asked, this is my knife, this is my little brother, which one should I use to stick with you, the child said calmly, the knife. At the end, Michel's mother cleans up the room, and at the critical moment when the forbidden room is finally opened, the movie ends.
