Evil in the pastoral

Rachelle 2022-03-25 09:01:22

I've never been able to write a review for this drama.
What appeared at the beginning was a dignified and neat figure
Thinking that it must be the heroine, the persecuted heroine.
The painting style turns to the heroine and the disabled sister living in a single mother's house, because their parents are circus workers who are busy every day, and the story begins.
The two were beaten up a few days late for their parents' foster care payments
Later, Paula sued her mother that the heroine slandered her, and the single mother began to abuse the heroine step by step. Go to school, put her in the basement to abuse her, and later the children of the whole town will come to bully her, even all the parents in the town tell their children: "You can't be as bad as the heroine." The
heroine is really bad ? In order to prevent Paula from being bullied, she told the secret; it was only because she was beautiful and kind-hearted that boys would strike up a conversation. And the single mother didn't ask indiscriminately after she found out, just asked her to apologize.
When the lawyer asked: "When your mother is beating the heroine, will the heroine abuse her or what will she do?" "She has never abused anyone since she came to now, and when her mother treats her like that, she will only Say sorry, even though I don't know where she's wrong or even what's wrong"
It is worth mentioning that the heroine's opponent, Paula, couldn't bear what her mother did, and secretly let the heroine go. The heroine escaped and returned to her parents with the help of the boy who had loved her for a long time.
When she and her parents returned to this nightmare-like room to pick up her sister, she found that the cold body on the ground was her.
Ironically, first, the single mother's young daughter said that everyone treats the heroine like that, so she doesn't think it's wrong;
second, the lawyer asked the disabled sister: "Why don't you discourage them when they bully your sister?" "I'm afraid of them." Same to me."
Third, single mothers have always said that the reason for imprisoning the heroine is for the sake of the children, but said in court: "I have not done anything bad to her, all my children are lying".
Fourth, even if parents are busy, how can they hand over their children to others, let alone a strange woman you don’t know at all?
The whole mood is heavy. Although I know that similar things are common but have not been exposed, I am still very fortunate to see such a film that reflects the reality so deeply. I still hope that the heroine can sit on her own as before. Carousel, no sadness, no worries.

    How similar to Dogtown, but a more shocking reality, but not as deeply despairing as Dogtown. The abomination is not humility, but the disgusting evil that humility breeds. People who use violence are either extremely strong or extremely weak, but 99.99 percent of people who use infinite loops are the latter. The atmosphere of the courtroom drama is well paced. ps: The only thing that makes me feel better is that Aggie is still pretty when she is pretty

    The most hateful are not the abusers, but the indifferent and submissive onlookers who make fun of them. The real events are more cruel than the movies, which is really sad. The difference between good and evil in human nature is far greater than the difference between heaven and earth .
