I can't rate events like this. But the unit lets more people know about it.

I haven't seen a movie so far that made me cry like this, it's like a pain in my own life. I was devastated when I found out that it was Sylvia's soul that had returned to her parents after her death and her body was lying on the carpet of the mother's house who had not died ten thousand times enough. Was it that in those days when beauty and literacy reached the opposite environment, people would be hated because of jealousy, making them so dehumanized? Poor Sylvia, praying for you. I have no way of grading a movie based on true events like this, good or bad.

People should: When strong, strong, when weak, weak. Always remind yourself not to step into irreversible remorse, always be vigilant, in that raccoon dog, in the same filth, I will not only break with it, but also I am not a passerby, I must be a warrior who defends my conscience.

Ellen Page's acting skills have always been unquestionable. Going back to the movie itself or the event itself, it is also a movie based on a real event. Although the protagonist is not considered a marginal person in society, he lacks humanity. I don’t understand why this film should be translated into this name. Not because of brutal methods, but because of indiscriminate accomplices. Fulfilling the saying, where the sun does not shine, sin breeds.

Gertrude Baniszewski: You know what it's like to be sick, Sylvia. I've been sick for so long, too. I can't... discipline my kids they was I should. I punish them I know, but... sometimes with my medicine I gets so I don't know what I'm doing.
[begins to cry]
Gertrude Baniszewski: And I care for them so much. Paula, the thing is... Paula's a lot like me. I had her when I was just about your age. Then Stephanie. Then all the others. Then John left... And here I am on medicine, doing whatever I can to keep my family together. I want something better for Paula... There has to be something better... And I need to protect my children...
[cries]
Gertrude Baniszewski: Do you understand that? You kids... you're all I've got... Thank you, Sylvia. Thank you for understanding, thank you.

Sylvia Likens: She sacrificed me to protect her children, and she sacrificed her children to protect herself.
