Michal Film Review: "The Story of Pedophile"

In our time, we are neither at an important historical turning point, nor have wars and political crises broken out to support outstanding talents and cruel freaks. Even those interesting serial killers have plummeted in variety and number. With the development of science and technology, they have disappeared and gone to prison before committing enough cases to make themselves famous.

We are in such a bizarre era, and the rapid development of material life obviously does not enrich people's spirit to the same extent. We are lazier than in the past, addicted to the simplicity and quickness of the virtual world, and then ignore the changes in the real world.

I want to talk about such a terrible event that happened in ordinary life. I don't know if you have similar experiences. A kind-hearted person in everyone's eyes, a regular job with decent income, a husband and wife and children in a secular and healthy family suddenly stripped people of their flesh and blood, throwing endless abyss, poisonous snakes and beasts and a small piece of sewer in your face.

They! A group of poor maggots never pray for forgiveness or feel guilty for what they have done. They live to torture others, and when they die, they leave a lot of mess, leaving you and me to suffer in the world as human conscience. I'm worried about how to tell you such a pedophile story.

He is mean, weak, sad and vicious. He is the sneaky shadow of the cave bat. Its teeth are sharp and small, unable to tear flesh and blood, but it is very picky about fresh grass. He knows that we hate him, so he tries to pretend to be a herbivore, hiding among the sheep, using mediocrity as a disguise to cover up his ugly little secret, and being careful that even the shepherd dog can't smell his stink.

As for the terrible degree of him and another person, I think the murderer is as terrible as fire and can be protected; Pretenders are as terrible as water, and they don't know the depth. So, save the comment and let it tell you simply as a story!

Michal's reason woke up in the morning, a melancholy and cold morning. Today, the sun rises as usual, the sky is overcast, and then it will be covered by rainy and sunny weather. Day after day, it is extremely boring. In the past, reason would think this stability was reassuring, but now it can't deceive itself, because reason understands that there have been obvious changes. In its view, no matter how normal the appearance of life is and how well it works, once the most important hole appears inside, it will collapse sooner or later.

Now, michal, its little boy, the sleeping man in bed, the carrier and owner to which it is attached, is walking on the edge of the cliff, and there is nothing it can do about it except to look coldly at desire and cheer. This makes reason feel sad. It knows that it is driving a derailed car, knows the ending, and has to use its intelligence to last as long as possible.

And all this is only because Michael has a child.

Wolfgang, the kidnapped boy

The little boy's name is Wolfgang. He is smart, beautiful and lovely. On weekdays, michal and Wolfgang get along like most single-parent families, eating and doing housework on time. In the evening, they also have some entertainment activities, usually watching movies, those horror movies that michal likes screaming and bleeding. In the meantime, the boy always tries his best to delay the time, but unlike the children we imagined, they stay up all night. They are innocent and lovely, and they rationally understand what he is afraid of. Unfortunately, although rationality controls michal's rationality, michal's lust is not in a line of control with it. Can only solve the demand in Michal, remind the owner to lock the basement door and don't forget to prepare fast food products for boys.

Although the deep sorrow and pain in that room will drag it down, reason still tries its best to maintain its heart of stone, if it really has a heart.

Occasionally, only occasionally, reason will persuade emotions to move their long-standing bodies and take boys out for air. Soon, Michael and Wolfgang traveled for the first time. They drove to the valley with many children and pretended to be father and son in the crowd. On the way, michal was born with caution to let him cover the boy with a blanket to prevent being monitored. His reason has a complex pride, which is so strong that he can remain calm for several hours after a series of failures.

When the first failure happened, michal wanted Wolfgang to see the eyepiece. What no one knows is that under Michelle's naive and overbearing appearance, there is actually a bad boy lurking. He fiddled with Wolfgang's head again and again, very rude, just like fiddling with a poor kitten. He can't see the boys' resisting eyes at all, and maybe he won't care if he sees them. I spent a day mentally exhausted, not to remind myself why that boy vomited. In the evening, it made michal lock the door again, and I felt queasy at the thought of Wolfgang's hand holding the sheets.

Wolfgang is ill.

This innocent nature of children is very lovely, which gives parents a pleasure to guide their life growth, and some chop suey can be used. Just as the sea is unpredictable and sunny, even if the helmsman is skilled, there is still the danger of capsizing. Those rickety ships with old software and hardware are even more difficult to return safely. We know that every year thousands of children are missing, raped, kidnapped, their organs removed and killed. Those soft creatures have only existed for a short time, and they haven't enjoyed a colorful future yet. They have died quietly in the biological cycle of flames, rivers and corrosive creatures without a trace.

Unfortunately for Wolfgang, he belongs to the sequence of "healthy children" and holds valuable resources of "healthy parents". However, once he lost his protection, the situation was completely reversed, from a happy child to an insulted and injured person, but only for a moment.

The only thing that Wolfgang is luckier than many partners is that he still has life. It is true that sometimes death can bring more relief than living, but only living can change it. Now, in the short life of the boy Wolfgang, the second crisis after being abducted has finally come. He is ill, without all-weather hot water and gentle and loving care from his family. Only a careful "guardian" has begun to dig a hole to find a place to bury the body and clean the carriage.

He can't even go to the hospital because he is a stolen child. Now Wolfgang can only lie in bed, flushed, panting and weak. Seeing this poor appearance, Michael was shaken. He drove to a pharmacy far away from home to buy medicine, but unfortunately he was in a car accident and broke his leg.

Life in michal is quite poor. The difference between hospital life and real life only changes the scene. He was lying alone in the hospital bed, surrounded by a cold silence. His close family and friends only belong to the clinic, while michal always has himself.

Michael subconsciously thought of the boy, the sick and dying boy, the boy who belonged to him. So he asked the nurse if she could go back. Be rejected by one vote. The reality is clear and cold. Tell him Michael has nothing to do with Wolfgang. In the eyes of others, he is just a boring man with a single label. Faced with the danger that might be exposed, michal followed rational advice.

Christmas and the living boy

I don't know how Wolfgang got through those days, whether it was a simple survival instinct or a strong yearning for his parents. Let him decide to give up heaven and meet hell on earth. Eating and drinking Lazarus, physiological machines are revived one by one, injecting new energy into the weak body.

By Christmas, Wolfgang had fully recovered.

It is strange and ironic that criminals and victims sing Christmas songs together. However, in reality, the picture is not as ugly as imagined. The picture of Michal and Wolfang standing together is not ugly or beautiful. Just as countless ordinary families sing and pray on the day of reunion tonight, they are no different from us on the surface.

But reason is always anxious. He can feel the danger approaching, huge and heavy. The dark shadow wraps around michal's neck and tightens gradually. Stupid people don't know anything about it. To this end, reason decided to comb all the fragments from the beginning and find out the source of danger inside.

Michal was walking in the street when he met a colleague who posted a notice for finding a cat and verbally promised to help. Of course, he knew rationally that he was just talking.

Then, when he got home, Micha made a request. The boy grabbed his clothes and put his hands in front of him to show his resistance, but he could not compete with Micha.

This is it, but a little closer.

At Christmas, in the room, Wolfgang was playing with a small Christmas pendant. He touched it again and again, as if he liked it. The happiness of being immersed in his own world is the same as his painting. Alas, when I think of this scene later, I can't help but hope that none of this has happened. I think, if michal hadn't broken in at that time, he might have lived longer, and I could have lived longer with him as a carrier.

But the reality is that he broke in and took the little pendant from Wolfgang and the only thing that belongs to him from a child who lost his freedom, everything that his parents and normal children should have.

"Can you hit me!"

"You think you can hit me!"

Michael smiled. Perhaps in his decades of life, he has never shown his feelings so clearly.

Wolfgang, who was robbed, screamed and punched michal hard. He tried his best, not to fight, but as a human resistance.

In the chaos, reason saw the small pendant that Wolfgang pressed to the ground. Its broken sound is the sound of a boy's broken heart and the opening of the gates of hell.

Everything is out of order, I think rationally.

Return to normal analysis

In fact, I wanted to write a serious analysis and evaluation at first, but influenced by the critics of the idol "Finger Craftsman's Love-Two Flowers in England", I tried the novel style. The result is beautiful, and the reality is particularly backbone. My writing collapsed. What you see now is only a small part of the front of the film. If you write it all down and add supplementary explanations, it is especially possible to get 10 thousand words.

What's more, I'm stuck, and I can't get out, so I can only end up in a hurry. Of course, I hope you think I am a good author who likes to keep suspense and not spoil.

Michal is special, not only because of its theme. It's boring not to understand, but more painful to understand. The cruelty and ruthlessness revealed in those details can make anyone with a basic conscience depressed for several days. Therefore, although I like the director's pure and impartial narrative technique, I still hate pedophilia emotionally, and the film reviews also show a similar tendency.

So I will try my best to discuss it in objective and calm language.

Michal

When I quit the big screen and watched Michal on the computer, I noticed the movie poster that I hadn't noticed before. It's very special. That is an adult with a teddy bear head, which is both funny and scary. I have to say that I admire this poster design, because it perfectly reflects my impression of the role of michal. There is a child's head hidden in the body of an adult in michal. What is more in line with people's impression of children than a teddy bear? Teddy bear is a household name, and it is still a toy. Only children can play with toys.

In the film, michal is good at disguise, cunning and clever. In his work and interpersonal communication, he has always been an introverted and indifferent adult image, talking freely with customers. Although he is never enthusiastic about his colleagues, he is not alone. He even goes skiing with his friends occasionally and has an affair with his boss's wife. One? In the evening, he is the kind of person who you and I can't find anything wrong at all and are not interested.

On weekdays, we may be wary and curious because of a person's race, looks, hobbies and past history, but it is difficult to be curious about an ordinary guy who is similar to us, not outstanding and not easy to bully.

This is exactly what he tried to show to outsiders, an elaborate mask, so that he can live safely in the adult world, but under the mask, michal's mind will never be free.

In front of outsiders, michal never laughed, cried, was excited or annoyed. In several typical scenes in the film, the expression on his face never fluctuated more than 45 degrees at a time. Snow Mountain took a group photo with friends, but michal smiled without meat. Having sex with the boss's wife in the shop, michal's face lacks the excitement of ordinary men. I can see that he is not interested in the boss's wife. Sleeping with him only meets the needs of normal middle-aged men's behavior patterns. Michael paused for a moment, making things difficult. I think he is imagining Wolfgang's face. Finally, only the company called colleagues to congratulate him on his promotion. The only time michal did have a little emotional ups and downs in front of outsiders, but the most outrageous move was that he only brought a plate of food to his colleagues.

Then let's think about it. What kind of experience is it for such a calm and calm adult to lose his social appearance in private?

When two drops of angels and three drops of demons are mixed together, we create children.

Although michal is neither cute nor young, she looks like a defective product between adulthood and childhood. However, apart from all subjective factors, this personality is actually very similar to our childhood. He has a strong desire for control, and his emotions are easily out of control. He is very familiar with losing his temper and taking it out on others. Almost every child has done something similar before receiving enough education.

Human nature is evil, and it will turn to good after cultivation. Every creature that can undergo severe evolution in nature is likely to climb to the top of the evolutionary pyramid by stepping on the flesh and bones of other species. Humans are no exception. From eating animals and drinking blood to civilized society, our hands are no less stained with blood than any other species. But only reason makes us different.

Reason prevents people from being completely eroded by desire, and prevents the whole society from becoming a hell full of perverts and murderers. In the above novel style, I specially set the role of "rationality" in God's vision, also to show the contradiction of this role.

Michal is an adult who is not divorced from children's psychology. He is polite in front of outsiders. But when he is alone, facing people weaker than himself, his emotions will become very uncontrollable and destructive. So many details are not valid from an adult's point of view. For example, michal went to Wolfgang's room and threw a pile of snow on a snowy day. From a child's point of view, this is just a whim, although it looks disgusting on the surface.

During the trip to the snowy mountain, michal lost his cool in the face of sliding failure, just like a little boy who knocked over a milk can, venting his anger everywhere, cursing loudly and banging on branches. It's not me who is wrong, it's the whole world.

In daily life, in the face of boys, he will get worse. Wolfgang is a place where michal's emotions are in full bloom. He can accept all kindness and malice. Those uncontrollable desires were finally vented through such a little thing he controlled. For this reason, he closed him in a small basement, loved to say concise and lively commands, and even recorded every qj process in his notebook (I suddenly felt a bit like swearing). For michal, Wolfgang is a safe and stable playmate, pet and vent container. He has no scruples and always has a strong desire to control his little slave.

Therefore, when Wolfgang wanted to get out of control, find his parents and taunt him, the out-of-control man immediately became angry and chose violence and mental torture, such as parents abandoning boys to punish Wolfgang for his disobedience.

For a young child, michal's punishment is extremely effective and bastard.

On the other hand, the man's low sense of morality also makes this role more complicated. To this end, I want to make it clear that low moral sense does not mean moral imbecile. Many serial killers in reality and film and television dramas are usually not the kind of vicious and horrible people we know. Among them are ordinary people, handsome faces, elegant demeanor, and high academic qualifications and high IQ. A terrible fact is that criminals who can kill for a long time in a row often know more about various social rules and moral norms than we do. They are careful, have high IQ, pay attention to external camouflage, know what people like and hate, and create personal images according to general impressions. Therefore, when a criminal's crime is exposed, many people will feel incredible. After all, he doesn't look like a gloomy and abnormal killer at all. This man is as innocent as our neighbor and friend.

So I emphasize here that men have a low sense of morality and want to express some very different ways of thinking and codes of conduct from normal people. Without preconditions, ordinary people will find it unbearable if they are asked to kill a puppy or kitten, especially if you have a pet, and you will be particularly angry when you see similar incidents. This moral sense of normal people enables us to condemn those disgraceful deeds of bullying, but for criminals with low moral sense, their control gates are old and rusty and cannot play their due role. A long time ago, watching the child abuse movie Su Yuan gave me a stomachache. I can't imagine who would do such a son of a bitch to an innocent child and have no remorse.

Until later, I chewed several psychology books out of interest, but I learned something about the psychology of these people in simple terms. In the face of immoral events, serial murderers obviously lack the normal logic of normal people. They don't feel fear, shame and guilt, and they have their own logic in their behavior.

Among them, the lost cat I mentioned above soon appeared in the yard of michal, and the poor little life was already frozen to death in the cold wind when it was found. Michal picked it up, looked at it with the eyes of the plastic bag that drifted in carelessly, and gently threw the cat's body into the trash can. It is completely indifferent and cold to life, and this little movie detail makes people feel unexpectedly numb. Later, when Wolfgang wanted a playmate, michal chose to take another child (but failed). I understand very well. After all, this is abnormal logic.

The film review is almost over. Do you feel relieved? I feel relieved anyway. This film review is longer than anything I have ever written. If I continue to write, of course, there is a character of Wolfgang that I have not analyzed. He is as delicate and wonderful as michal, but I want to write it separately in the future, if I can spare time.

Now, the last paragraph, which I personally hate very much. Michal, a pedophile who left a lifelong shadow on Wolfgang, still had some feelings in his heart.

In the early stage of the film, before their relationship completely broke down, Wolfgang gave michal a painting, which was a gesture of being friendly to children. Michael did receive it, and his heart was like a person at least for a short time.

In the dark room, I saw michal crying and lit the note while crying. I understand his true guilt at a certain moment, but this guilt is so frivolous that I don't forget to carefully destroy things that may affect him even when I cry.

The ancients said that no matter what the trace is, the mind is not perfect. I respect those who are intentional but restrained, but I am unforgivable for those who indulge.
