What exactly does hard candy mean?

A while ago, the murder of Joan Bei Ni Ramsey, an American child star, was heated ten years ago, and the DNA test of the suspect john carr was quite dramatic. Crimes such as sexual assault, molestation and abuse of adult girls are social news that can often be seen in the media (especially online media). Recently, Tintin recommended me to watch a very low-cost movie: Hard Candy, which was probably based on this kind of crime news. There are only two main actors in the film, who play a 30-year-old photographer, a 14-year-old girl (and a female neighbor who only has one scene). The main scene is the photographer's home, and the secondary scene is the coffee shop. As simple as pie. It's a story about sexual abuse of underage girls.

The title of the film Hard Candy is said to be "Internet slang", which refers to underage girls-the two leading men and women in the film met through online chat. After meeting in the coffee shop, the photographer took the girl home, and everything seemed to go smoothly, just like what he had done to other girls before. Surprisingly, however, this girl is a long-planned avenger, and what awaits this photographer is a complete nightmare. It is said that the film only took 18.5 days, of which 5 days were used for rehearsal, and the director shot most scenes in order of scenes. Obviously, this film is reminiscent of Ten Days of Danger, the story of a female reader kidnapping and torturing a male writer. Of course, that movie has plenty of reading space. And "fruit hard candy" is relatively simple and simple. According to the girl who claims to be "every little girl you spy on, torture and kill" in the film, she is an abstract representative of the victim group of immature young women (her mind, words and deeds are actually not in line with her age). She almost fell from the sky, bringing bad luck to adult men who have committed crimes.

This movie reminds me of many small-budget movies, such as Rubik's Cube and Souvenir, which were all made with a clever and simple idea. But it can't be compared with these films in taste, so the box office is relatively average, and of course its cost is much smaller. Generally speaking, this movie is like a malicious little joke, just like a little thing coming out of the door and suddenly scaring you. Director david slade has only made some TV works and short films before. With such simple scheduling and scenes, he made a feature film with beautiful pictures, compact rhythm and successful atmosphere, which shows that his technology is very skilled. Probably because the role of this film is relatively simple and plain, and there are not many internal things, so we can see the true colors of the actors and the free play of their acting skills. In particular, Ellen Page, who plays the role of "fruit hard candy", makes people shine at the moment, and her looks and eyes make the greatest contribution to this film. Later, she also participated in the performance of X-Men III, which should be the future star of Hollywood. After Lionsgate released Fruit Hard Candy, many female audiences actually said that it could be regarded as a comedy, while male audiences probably found it a little hard to accept (especially the passage in which men were castrated by girls). No matter whether the meaning of the movie is big or not, it is reminding men with ulterior motives: be careful when picking up girls online.

White and red, grid and shadow switch each other, and this movie begins like this …

About cruelty, there is no blood, and the empty viewer is frightened. Ten minutes ago, the movie was pure and lovely. Jeff in his early thirties talked about a girl named Haley, 14 years old, and then got to know her. He wiped the chocolate off her lips and put it in her mouth ... The lens was bright and pure, which made people relax their vigilance. No matter how shocking, this is just a story of contemporary Lolita. Only ten minutes later, Jeff knelt on the roof and kissed Haley's feet and her face. Gradually into the play, there are some strange feelings, and such feelings have appeared when watching the love of Sanchilong. At that time, this movie, which claimed to make the cinema audience rush out and faint, didn't seem to rely on horrible shots, but the warm literature and art in the first half, and the bloody horror in the second half was unbearable. And this movie seems to have the same effect, without dark and bloody Japanese style, supplemented by bright colors, in the photographer's exquisite room, the story is equally shocking …

I'm used to seeing powerful men do whatever they want, and occasionally I see a 14-year-old Lori's fierce counterattack and interpret an adult fable. I was surprised, but also a little scared. There are four people in the play, but the other two people don't appear for more than two minutes. This 100 minute is a war between Jeff and Haley. The outstanding performance of the protagonist is full of tension, which makes this somewhat absurd story so real and terrible. Look at how the modern little red riding hood cruelly killed Big Wolf, see how Jeff cried with tears and acted rationally, and see how Harry dug up Jeff's secret bit by bit.

Jeff is not a good person, but when the anti-pervert is superior to the pervert in a more cruel form, our audience often take the side of the weak emotionally. We don't have to worry about whether castration is going on or not, and we don't have to guess who is the murderer, Jeff or Allen. We just watched the movie and marched on our own without bleeding, but we pushed the feeling of depression and suffocation to the audience …

Jeff is responsible for his hobbies and behaviors, and our senior sadist, dressed in red, left there in the bright sunshine with the secretly played song "Elephant Woman" in the background, sharp and desperate …

Since the beginning is bright, so is the end …
