The repeated mention of "children can't lie" in the movie seems simple and easy to understand, because people naturally think that children have no motive to lie, but they also ignore another fact - children don't have to tell everything. Responsible for what you say. The paradox is that after the little girl saw the huge harm caused by her "speaking words" and explained many times that everything was made up by herself, people no longer believed the sentence "children don't lie." At this time, people give up rational analysis, and they seem to be more willing to believe in perceptual judgments that meet their expectations, and will create supporting conditions for them. At least in this movie, such a result orientation is fatal. The subjective judgment of the kindergarten director and the censors and the highly inductive verification process in the film lack rational analysis and strong evidence, which is no different from the current "keyboard man". Lax, non-objective, accumulating all factors in the direction of one's own perceptual judgment, even if the opposing thought of "this may be wrong" flashes in my heart at a certain moment, I still do not turn back, and eventually lead to tragedy.
Going back to the story, a year after the incident, everything seems to be back to normal. The film does not show how the male lead spent this tormented year; under the camera, he greets the people who come and go as before, just like a year ago. Nothing happened in general. However, the people in the town may never let go of their prejudice against Lucas, even if there is an acquittal after the police intervene in the investigation. At the end of the film, echoing the beginning, the hunters hunted elk in the forest as before, the shotguns in the dark were loaded, and the prey at this time had become Lucas.
