From sweet to the crisis for 15 minutes
and then

meet friends, this can be described as unpleasant beginning - because too flooding; yet fascinating - because we are familiar with a total stranger himself, to expectations. She is so sweet, three points like Natalie Portman, and one point neurotic melancholy, like Julia Binoche. In the story, the 14-year-old girl took the initiative to go to his home on the day she first met a male netizen.
He is handsome, with smiles around the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, he looks so gentle and sexy. He is also a fashion photographer, and his eyes accustomed to hiding behind the shutter are destined to be mysterious. Unexpectedly, he became a prisoner after a glass of wine. He watched her search the room in vain, until she opened the secret box and found another girl's photo.
From sweetness to murder, it takes less than fifteen minutes.

I attribute this story to a high-definition psychological horror film. The lens is beautiful and clean, and the background color is often red and yellow with ulterior motives. The horror is that we cannot know the truth. Except for the coffee shop clerk who appeared for three seconds, the ex-girlfriend who was less than a minute away, and the neighbor's wife who was less than three minutes away, she and him were the only ones in the camera. After the crucial fifteen minutes, both of them broke away from their original bodies. Have become guilty people.
Girls like Lolita are beautiful anyway, but outstanding works always try to convince us that they are also dangerous. The Hard Candy in the title is Internet slang, meaning: underage girl. In this story, the girl who has always been considered likely to be violated becomes a deliberate killer, while the adult man who once tempted the girl and even caused the death falls into the trap and becomes a life in the heart of the little girl. His body, and even the future, were all simply controlled. If you approve of the little girl's motives for revenge for her friends, you might praise her for the sharpness of her action; if you stand from a male perspective, you might lament that this world is no longer inferior to men and women. But my perspective may be a little different.

Because he was always playing with her opponents, I was a little distracted, thinking about whether they would fall in love without another victimized girl. If they might fall in love, is it true that any intimate relationship we have is like this story, from sweet to murderous, in just fifteen minutes? Thinking more deeply, how can we be sure that the sweetness in front of us is really not a hidden murderous intent?
When she saw him, there was still chocolate syrup hanging on the corner of her mouth, and her face was pure and ignorant, she had no thoughts; he wiped it off for her and praised the cake for its delicious taste, which made her smile more shyly; she came out of the cafe and was in the open. She praised his car for being cool, and he was willing to kneel down and kiss her feet... and all these scenes can be pretended! As long as you have a greater, firmer, and more cruel desire in your heart.
This girl named Hayley is extremely talented, not only has the vengeance strategy, the courage to use the sword, but also the pure girl's magnanimous innocent charm. In other words, there are women in the world who use shyness well. From the bones to the mind, they believe that being charming is not as beautiful as being shy and clean. Or, this is just a forced savvy, because she wants to implement this plan to track down the murderer and get revenge, so she must know herself and the enemy, and explore the other's weakness. What's a sigh is that the man's weakness is already obvious. What's more, this Jeff, who has a previous conviction, has been full of loopholes in online chats.
A lot of beauty is boring. The photographer Jeff naturally understands. He is used to seeing models surrounded by makeup artists and agents. He loves the cleanliness of underage girls, and it is not a sin. It's a pity that a girl died in the hands of him and his friends, but the director didn't want to tell us about this prequel, maybe it really doesn't matter at all. The important thing is that innocence also has terrifying power.

So, how do you know that a pure and beautiful girl gives you a smile without distraction? Or, an elegant yuppie man, the attention given to you is absolutely unconscionable?
