At the beginning, there was a problem with the casting. The protagonist was a pedophile, but the director chose Patrick Wilson with a pair of clear and warm eyes. At the age of 30, I now believe that "Eyes are the windows of the soul." "These two sentences are absolutely the truth. Although bad guys are handsome, their eyes are definitely different from ordinary people. The male protagonist's gentle eyes make people really hate it, which weakens the intention of the film. It would be better to switch to a wicked actor like Steve Buscemi. The heroine looks very unpleasant, the performance is too forceful and extremely contrived. It’s not a little girl with no breasts and butts, it’s called Loli. Ellen Page looks like a Hayley Joe Osment with a wig. The most Loli temperament in my heart is Natalie in "Leon". Portman.
Let's talk about the script. Although it killed a pedophile, it's over? There is only destruction, no construction. She used violence to control violence, and did not put forward any opinions. It just performed a psychological torture to extract a confession. Although the film is not preaching, it is for public release and is not a DVD. So we have to consider the social impact.
What is the positioning of the actor, Jeff, a pedophile, a pedophile who killed and never repented, and this case was still considered missing, and the police did not find his flaws. Regardless of how the heroine Haili found him with a reasoning ability that was even stronger than that of Holmes, Kindaichi, and Conan. Many people say that Little Red Riding Hood in this movie ended the Big Bad Wolf, but Jeff’s performance in the movie said that Big Big Wolf is almost the same. He was caught three times inverted, but was deceived three times. You are a criminal, not an innocent boy. It’s a shame for the bad guys to beat a 14-year-old skinny girl with a strong man who is about 1.8 meters tall. In the end, he actually chose to commit suicide because his true face was not known by his first love girlfriend. The director of this place committed another crime. The use of light and shadow made him look like a martyr. What do you want, do you sing the praises of true love, the first love is so beautiful, do you want to steal the limelight from Iwai Shunji? Haili’s expression in the film that controls everything and calculates every step (you think you are Gao Yuanyao) and the way of talking and shaking your head (sing rap), so be self-cultivation and polite (you think you are Dr. Hannibal) are very boring.
The director's perversion is that everything is ambiguous, Jeff's appearance is not like a criminal, and Hailey has no evidence that Jeff is the murderer. After finding the photo in the safe, even if it is a mosaic-on-photograph presented in front of the audience, it will immediately hate him. But the director did not do this. He arranged for Haili to cry in tears and say: "This is why the federal law stipulates that this is a crime. It's too abnormal." Shame, everyone's acceptance is different, I am a man. When a man was 12 years old, he thought nude photos were disgusting and nasty. It is too unreliable to judge whether a person is guilty based on her 14-year-old mind. And Jeff never once accepted that he had killed someone directly. Some people blamed him for not repenting. What I think is that if he is tortured like this, it is better to die. And when he was entangled on the top of the building, he killed Hailey directly, eliminating the evidence, and then Jinel made up a set of lies to explain that it was not the behavior that the wicked should do.
Also, as a fan of "CSI", Hailey said that the police would not believe that Jeff was the one being teased. Taking off his clothes can completely destroy Jeff's image in Genel's mind. Is it possible? The United States may be the only country that retains the death penalty for children, indicating that they know that children are not white lotus flowers. Jeff has something unclear, the wounds on his wrists and ankles, the residual spray in his mouth, the residual medicine in the body, the rope fibers in Hailey's nails. The evidence is enough to convict.
The disgust of this film is not that traditional justice triumphs over evil, nor is it that desperate evil overwhelms justice. The director always uses an ambiguous method to make a criminal who looks like a docile lamb and a disgusting avenger to play with the audience. Nerve and psychological endurance. You can despise the personality of the criminal, but please don't insult the IQ of the audience indirectly by insulting the IQ of the criminal.
