Mary, who had raised three daughters on her own at the age of 20, has a family history of mental illness and a criminal record for drug incarceration.
All three daughters are more or less affected by the family's mental illness, and even need to take medication to control them from childhood.
The eldest daughter, Xia Nan, was taken away by a child welfare organization at a young age and handed over to a foster family, because Mary could not afford Xia Nan's medicine at that time.
In 2010, Xia Nan, who had grown up and lived alone, promised to go home for dinner, but she broke the appointment without notifying Mary. In the following days, Mary could not contact Xia Nan.
Mary called the police, and later found that Xia Nan had become a sex worker after leaving home and lived alone. The police believed that people like Xian Nan would always go missing and refused to find a daughter for Mary.
When the call to the police on the night of Xia Nan's disappearance was called, the police felt that something was wrong.
Subsequently, the police found ten female bodies one after another on Gilgo Beach on Long Island, including Xia Nan.
This heinous serial murder case has yet to be solved.
In 2013, Robert Kirk wrote the novel "The Missing Girl" about the event, and in 2020, Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker Liz Garbers adapted the novel into a film of the same name.
The film describes the experience of Mary and the families of other victims who live at the bottom of American society and strive to urge the police to solve the case. During this struggle, the police and the media judged these girls with colored glasses and blamed their misfortune. Because of their depravity, they instead protect the suspected wealthy Long Islanders.
The famous actor Amy Ryan played the role of the mother Mary in the film. She had met Mary before the film was filmed. nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
In an interview with the media, Amy Ryan said that she did not think she was playing a failed mother whose daughter became a prostitute. She played a determined woman who worked hard to take care of her mentally ill daughter. Women at the bottom who are constantly fighting.
Amy Ryan hopes, the film to people, not "prostitute murder" or "missing prostitute Shanan Gilbert", but "missing daughter Gilbert."
Victims, there is no need to be perfect.
Xia Nan's life has fallen, and Xia Nan has gone astray. These are facts, but Xia Nan and other victims should not be blamed.
Victims are victims, and it is their perpetrators who should be blamed and punished.
There is another work "Three Billboards" accused of "perfect victims".
The mother in the film is not perfect. She is paranoid, violent, strong and unreasonable.
Her marriage was a failure. At first glance, her ex-husband was much more respectable than her, but in fact he had domestic violence against her for many years during the marriage.
Her daughter Angela doesn't look like an angel at all. She smokes marijuana, is rebellious, and promiscuous. When Angela was attacked and died, there were other people who blamed it. It's all your mother's fault. It's all Angela's fault. .
Angela, like Xia Nan, is an imperfect victim. If only a perfect victim and a perfect victim's family have the right to sue the tyranny and mischief of criminals, then everyone who is hurt in this world will be hurt. All should keep their mouths shut.
How many imperfect victims can be summed up in one sentence, "every man is innocent, but he is guilty"? What's more, there are those who are "guilty".
Such as the girl played by Ellen Page in the movie Hard Candy. In the early part of the film, the dialogue between the girl and the man looks like the man is retreating, but the girl is constantly entangled.
Until the end, until the man was tied to the table and turned into a fish.
The film borrows Ellen Page's mouth to say the puzzling dialogue and scenes in the early part of the film.
Adolescent children, both men and women, feel that they have grown up and have the expectation of being on an equal footing with adults. The 14-year-old girl tried to pretend that she was a woman, a fearless "adult" who could go home with others without any scruples.
If a man is not a pedophile, he should refuse a glass of wine raised by a girl, instead of pretending to be half-shoveling, following the girl's immature disguise, and falling into the so-called "candy-like trap".
Growing up in this imperfect world, don't ask girls to be perfect out of thin air, and don't excuse criminals after they are violated.
