An American Crime

I wanted to see this movie for a long time, but it didn't arrive, so I only saw it last night.

It was quite shocking, I was very depressed when I watched it, a little crazy, and my heartbeat kept accelerating.

I feel that the reason why the film is so oppressive is that the important point is that the film never breaks out of hysteria, but is unusually calm, a kind of abnormal rationality. This kind of abnormal emotion is presented in the movie, but it is magnified in your heart to the point of distortion and struggle.

Looking back on life, we are just walking in such a siege, unable to escape some kind of entanglement with human nature. After watching the movie, I feel the powerlessness of the individual more deeply. It seems that we can never escape, and we are just drifting in a chain.

And some things are inescapable, all we have to do is to go far beyond, to cross at a transcendent height, and look down calmly.

So, we look down, we go beyond...

In addition, the acting skills of the actors in the film are amazing. And Catherine Keener is even more unsurpassable. She is stunned, stunned, and can be freely retracted, wandering between the sins of mother's love in her heart.

    The films made by ellen page are very deep and their performances are excellent, but compared to l'aurore or lilia forever, they are still not strong enough, especially after the group and the abuse were too sudden, why didn't there be any resistance? Does the evil of human nature need no explanation?

    This is no longer a story about a beast, but a bunch of beasts! ! ! Including Sylvia's sister Jenny! ! ! Watching my sister abused and indifferent! ! ! This movie is very similar to "The Girl Next Door", except that the girl in "Neighborhood" was abused more seriously~~~ I felt bored when I watched it...

  • Sylvia Likens: Reverend Bill used to say, "For every situation God always has a plan." I guess I'm still trying to figure out what that plan was.
