In fact, each of us is a "Lucas" in the online world

Trust is hard to restore, even if bystanders don't know the truth. The little girl Claire's father said to her: "There is too much malice in the world, but if we support each other, those malice will naturally go away." However, this is not the case in reality, malice continues to be exported, and people continue to use public opinion. , innocent people continue to suffer unjust injustice.

Hot and spicy comments

The good-hearted Lucas in "The Hunt" is suspected of "child molestation" by the kindergarten principal because of Claire's ambiguous remarks. The story begins. Before entering kindergarten, Lucas quietly put away his glasses, and was surrounded by children. As expected, he was slapped red by the tender hands. His attentiveness, familiarity and affection for the children are already on display.

The young but precocious Claire expresses his love to him because he has been cared for many times, but he refuses to accept it and therefore loses everyone's trust. Although there are sensitive and caring women such as Grezer, who have fanned the flames, Lucas's friends did not choose to consider the facts he stated, but fully believed that Claire was in the chaos of memory and combat. The lie told below. There are many panoramic views in the film. Lucas walks alone on the road of the town, looking small and humble , and the helplessness of people in the rumors is vividly reflected.

Claire's father once said to Lucas, "I know when you're lying, when you blink." They were trusted friends, but when he learned that his daughter might have been molested by a friend, he still I believed my daughter's words. "What did you see in my eyes?" You should see that I didn't lie, you should see that I didn't commit a crime, you saw it, but you chose to escape, you chose to believe in a pair of seemingly purer and innocent eyes , you don't want to be Sinner, so you keep me on charges that I shouldn't have.

The most touching part of the entire film is the revolt of Lucas's son against the whole town . As a boy who lived with his mother in a single-parent family, he stood firmly on his father's side when everyone suspected and rejected his father. After being knocked down in the supermarket and standing up again, clenching his teeth and waving his slender arms, he always believed in his father. He even came to the little girl's house and used his young life and thin body to tenaciously ask the truth. The greatness of family love lies in unconditional trust , just like Claire's parents unconditionally believed her lies.

People always have a way of thinking. Vulnerable groups are always so worthy of trust and affirmation, while some middle-aged men have become perverted hooligans. Whoever sees them is not necessarily true, let alone hearsay? The seriousness of the accusation is emphasized, but who has thought about the consequences? Not Claire, nor the adults.

At the end of the movie, everyone dodged Lucas' eyes, but couldn't say a word of apology. They may regret their out-of-context but dare not face up to their mistakes. They were once powerful, standing on the moral high ground to preside over so-called justice, and they would never pay for their stupidity.

If it is said that Lucas "can't help himself" in the small town where he has lived for many years, in contrast to today's society, each of us is actually a "Lucas" in the online world. People are good at hiding behind the screen and typing out a line of words, benevolent or malicious. As for the consequences, they don't care. After all, their role is only "a netizen" and "an ID" . What's more, in the eyes of these keyboard warriors, they are insignificant, and in thousands of worlds, their voice is just a scream in a small corner, but for the person involved, the scream is so harsh that it can be heard clearly. Clear, so harsh that it can even make people collapse.

In the past few days, a beautiful girl may have committed suicide due to depression. People called her "Peach", called her a princess, and crowned her with all the good adjectives. She is Shirley, whose real name is Cui Zhenli, a member of the Korean idol girl group, who died at the age of 25.

On the contrary, before she committed suicide, she had been living with cyber violence for nearly ten years . After leaving the group because of bad reviews, she was called "slut" because she didn't wear underwear at a party with friends; she was called "too cruel" when she dubbed "Save me" with grilled eel; she was also called "malicious" when she broke down and cried during the live broadcast Hype "...people are busy insulting her, but no one asks "what's wrong with her?" Actually, she's not a girl who cries out for attention, not a cruel pervert, not a frivolous slut . "Barbie with cut off limbs" may be her metaphor for herself, and she may just want to relax for a moment without wearing underwear. However, no one in the public opinion chose to stand on her side, even to say a word for her, just like Lucas in the film.

Who saw Lucas molesting the little girl? Which keyboard warrior really gets along with Shirley day and night and knows everything about her?

After Shirley's death, a call to "stop cyber violence" appeared on the Internet, and some of the "netizens" who had beaten the straw that overwhelmed the camel immediately began to show hypocrisy. But the malice was soon exposed again, and Sulli's former teammate Song Qian was cursed to "die" for not "public mourning"...

As the film ends, the apparent reconciliation a year later looks like a full stop, and the final shot suggests that Lucas has become the prey in the town, and the doom isn't over yet.

People can't derail from other people in this world, and live in the eyes of others forever, and this world does have too much malice.
