British-style grandstanding, this movie has been identified as a "rape movie" (non-personal), and I don't like to stray into it.

The heavy and calm movie characters can't cover up the "two no" of screenwriters and British movies - incompetence and helplessness, the stereotyped Britain has nothing to do except for the plot that tramples the bottom line of human feelings again and again. I have seen through this kind of British grandstanding, and a single "Eden Lake" has aroused a lot of scolding. No wonder the American version of "funny games" in 2007 is so nondescript, it turned out to be a remake of the European Portuguese version in 1997.

"Funny Games" is not a British film and it doesn't make sense to impose it on the UK. But you can compare what these films have in common.

Having seen such a "British ending", I still think the "bloody and justified" Hollywood movies are more meaningful, and the killers in Texas are not as hateful as those British teenagers.

Yes, there are some bad boys everywhere, and there are also in the United States, but Americans can understand and reflect more deeply. If you don't believe me, check out "Classic Cars".

I don't want to be raped by movies like this again!
