A few guesses:
1. The mentally retarded child either disappeared or died, and was killed by a doctor and a midwife. The child started moaning while the doctor was bandaging his eyes, and as the camera moved away from his face, the moaning grew louder and turned into coughing and howling, most likely the doctor was not bandaging him but He suffocated. In my opinion, the midwife is the most terrifying character in the movie. She not only has no personality, no bottom line, no ego, but also completely loses her conscience and dignity to submit to a scum like a doctor. When she put her head down on the dining table to be stroked by the doctor, she already expressed that she was positioning her relationship with each other as "the doctor's dog".
2. It is very likely that the doctor's daughter, Anne, was involved in the harm to her father. It was a coincidence that she witnessed the whole process of the incident from the window. She should have noticed the adultery between her father and the midwife earlier, or if it was true that her mother's death was also related to these two people (I think this rumor is true that Anne's mother died in childbirth and her mistress was a midwife). The molestation had already begun. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she asked the Boys Party for help, and planned and implemented it together. Note that the children were found to be sneaky when they were in other events, but when they went to see Annie, they threw stones at the window to notify them that Annie had already had some sort of connection with them.
3. If this movie is to say that there is already evil rooted in this group of children, I do not agree. My understanding is that most of the bizarre incidents in the film should be done by child gangs, but the motives are not evil but even justice. The priest's discipline of children is severe and even cruel, and he always emphasizes the importance of sin and punishment and purity. That kind of perverted fanaticism has already penetrated into his children, so they spontaneously organize to punish those who considered evil. It also explains why the people they hurt have no direct grievance with them. And children are just like a lens to practice the extreme ideas that they have absorbed, which stems from the high pursuit of purity. It is precisely the father who poured these ideas into his low position under the guise of religion. From the first time he said to the child, "If you want to continue living a prosperous life, you must..." and the baron interrupted his speech to lead the crowd in prayer. It all shows that the priest is actually a very famous person, and he is not aware of the baron's status in the village. Coveted and jealous, the control of the child is to not leave a stain on his own image because of the child, so he chooses to remain silent when he may already know what the child has done.
4. Children are both perpetrators and victims. Carat and Martin are very special in the organization. When the godfather is admonishing the children, the two are drawn out separately. Rather than saying that the godfather turns a blind eye to the organization of the children, it is more that the godfather himself wants to raise them into a team, a tool and a means to support his own sacred image, and Carla and Martin are his right-hand men. , is also the core of the organization, the two white ribbons are the moral constraints given by the father, and also like a symbol of identity and a symbol of ism. Crabbie Martin is smart and mature, so it's even more special. The school was changed to a theological church (thinking that it also implied that the social influence of religion at that time began to grow, which means that the low position of the godfather also rose) Carla kept a watch at the door of the classroom, but was reprimanded by her father in public for her classmates’ disobedience, showing that her father In fact, the management of the child is handed over to Carat. When the godfather calls himself a spiritual leader while criticizing Carla, Carla faints. Later, Carla nailed his father's bird to his desk. These two behaviors were like a demonstration, and the father also realized his daughter's resistance to him, and his absolute dominance was being challenged. So the long pause during the baptism was a confrontation between the coaches, the daughter finally defeated and bowed her head to show meekness, and the father's leadership was stable. The godfather, the most ambitious in the movie, got his wish. At the end of the farewell ceremony, the baron family, representing the old forces, was the second last to be seated, and in the end, the godfather was the godfather in the extradition of four escorts. So far, the godfather has won.
Evil deeds are because the seeds of evil have been planted, distorted education, indoctrinated wrong concepts, and follow false beliefs. The chess piece that was originally as pure as a white ribbon and turned into a sin finally turned into sin itself, and then baptized the next generation in this way, over and over again.
