This sin is everywhere.

Events that occur with real cases are easier to focus on. Many of the people standing in the dock of the court were underage, when they were confused and said they didn't know why they would abuse Sylvia of the same age. I couldn't help but want to say: "Yes, I know." Because this feeling is too familiar, too many film and television works involve two kinds of darkness in human nature-dominance and cowardice. "Dogtown" starring Nicole Kidman, the bridge duty officer who controls the fate of mankind in "Deep Space Amnesia". I believe that human beings are born with original sin, and the desire for domination that is hidden in the heart of human beings will ferment out of the heart in a specific environment and go out of control. Cowardice is the catalyst for evil, because the weak choose to keep silent because they are afraid that they will suffer misfortune too. Such behavior is equivalent to encouraging the abuser. The extension is the Stockholm Syndrome, which is a stalker of the tiger. Looking at one incident, it wasn't just a home in Indiana in 1965 that got sick. Here and now, such tragedies are happening over and over again!

The reality is so unspeakable. There is a strong contrast between the beauty of the first half and the obscurity of the second half, from leisurely to crying. I think the Chinese people will be amazed after watching it. The human world in the movie is so indifferent. Adults (not to mention children) are like every brain. Into a tone particle: eh.

The event itself is extremely shocking. Catherine Keener's performance is really wonderful, but the narrative angle is very gentle. The display of the evil of human nature is weak, and it does not mention the impact on legislation.
