"Fruit Hard Candy" is a "god work" and a movie that lets men watch "a cool body". It was released in 2005. Filming took only 18 days, and the film cost less than $1 million but grossed $8 million. It is one of the successful examples of "small cost and high return".
The key point is that it is a thriller, crime film, and drama film known for its darkness, but it is a healing system.
Movies about pedophilia, the most famous should be South Korea's "Suyuan", many adults watched it, have left a psychological shadow. Also a pedophile theme, the American film "Fruit Hard Candy" gives young girls unparalleled courage and wisdom in a "personal heroism" way, torturing pedophilia to collapse and commit suicide.
It is highly recommended that the little friends who are scared by "Suyuan" watch it, which is very relieved and can well soothe the sad heart.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="85" >◆ God arrangement: 5 actors have 1 play, and 3 of them are playing soy sauce</h1>
It is said that "Fruit Hard Candy" is a "god work", in addition to the wonderful plot and short shooting time, it is also due to its very small number of participants. There are only 5 characters in the whole movie, 3 of whom are playing soy sauce.
01, soy sauce No. 1 - male waiter.
If it weren't for the director deliberately giving him a close-up of his face, and too few faceless characters appear in the movie, this passerby with only a few seconds of shots could hardly be counted in the cast list.
Without too much drama, it is difficult to say whether the male waiter is accustomed to Jeff's drama against minors, or whether it is mocking the girl's "lack of self-respect", or a pure "more is better than less" iron heart.
If you insist on the role of the male waiter in the movie, it is probably to satirize the indifference of human nature and the degeneration of morality... Because of the inaction of people like him, the underage girl Hayley will be easily taken away by pedophiles.
02, soy sauce No. 2 - neighbor's wife.
The Neighbor's Wife only appears near the end of the movie, and only appears for a few minutes.
The main role is to increase the dramatic conflict, her appearance makes the audience subconsciously feel that the plot will be reversed, but also let the male protagonist kidnapped by the female protagonist get a chance to breathe, and also let the female protagonist get further proof that the male protagonist is a pedophile.
03, soy sauce No. 3 - the male protagonist's white moonlight ex-girlfriend
It only appears at the end of the movie for the male protagonist to collect the body. (Because there are so few scenes, neither she nor the waitress appear in the actor introduction in the character introduction...) ）
Looking at ancient and modern Chinese and foreign films and television, the classic movies with only a single digit number of actors in the whole movie but successfully telling a twisted and bizarre story are estimated to be only "Fruit Hard Candy" and "This Man From earth".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="104" >◆ God Plot: 14-year-old genius Lori tortures 32-year-old pedophilia, an idealistic heroine portrayed by a male director</h1>
The shooting scene is also very simple - the café and the man Jeff's single-family villa. More than ninety percent of the film's shots are all little Lori Hayley and male photographer Jeff, the plot is devious, various reversals, the battle of wits and courage of two high-IQ people, and people hate and angry and cool to see. (This is the smallest number of films I've ever seen.) ）
When the heroine Hayley first appeared, her clothes were very symbolic: Little Red Riding Hood. In Grimm's fairy tales, Little Red Riding Hood is a character who is naïve to the point of being almost stupid, but the film is a thriller, so Hayley is actually a female hunter who deliberately dresses up as Little Red Riding Hood to cater to pedophiles.
She has a superior IQ, has read professional books for graduate students in medical school, and is also good at capturing the psychology of criminals.
Hayley's good friend was abducted by pedophiles step by step through the Internet to offline humiliation after committing suicide, in order to avenge her friends, she studied the criminal psychological analysis released by the police, lingering in the major chat rooms, disguised as the pedophile's favorite type of girl: naïve adolescent rebellious girl.
At the beginning of the movie, the male protagonist uses the girl's jealousy of her sister and the desire to be recognized on the social software to coax the girl to agree to meet offline.
The male protagonist of the movie, Jeff, is a photographer with a personal face before the plot reversal, personable and gentle. Like a person or gang to commit crimes, good at finding victims through the means of the Internet, with great patience to understand and coax the other party to meet offline, and then abuse or kill.
The movie title "Hard Candy" is an Internet slang term for underage girls.
The two protagonists are set up as Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood. Before the plot is reversed, the male protagonist uses his fingers to wipe the cake left on the girl's lips, and then stuffs the cake on his fingers into his mouth to eat, which is very perverted and familiar. However, the young girl was provoked by this kind of romance novel-like behavior.
In order to abduct the girl, he could even kneel down and call the other person a "queen" and ask for kisses on the other's feet like a believer.
When he successfully took the girl away, both the male and female protagonists smiled. Unsuspecting viewers will be very upset when they see this - the big bad wolf abducted Little Red Riding Hood and thought that Little Red Riding Hood's fate must be very pitiful. But when I watched the whole movie and then watched this nearly 10-second close-up, I found out how meaningful it was, two hunters who treated each other as prey to each other, after each other was hooked, they were trying to maintain the human setting, and they couldn't help but smile triumphantly.
Looking at the male protagonist's confident appearance, the audience and he did not expect that in the end he would fall into the fate of being "castrated" by the female protagonist... (Although the castration is fake, the female protagonist successfully makes the male protagonist mistakenly think that he has been cut, and the process is particularly long, and he can't help but sympathize with this social scum in the end.) ）
The plot behind is constantly reversed and reversed, punching the scumbag and then punching the scumbag, the director uses a seemingly dark way to create an American "idealistic" underage heroine: there are brave and strategic, weak individuals win over powerful bosses, and punish evil without bloodshed.
The male protagonist, Jeff, takes Lolita home, pours wine, and continues to verbally tease and encourage, while Lori plays a rebellious girl while searching for available information in the room.
One is inducing the other party to drink and coax minors to take forbidden photos; the other is constantly confirming the identity of the other party's criminal and criminal information, waiting for revenge.
While the perverted male protagonist focuses on brainwashing the underage girl, the Lolita female protagonist drugs him without the audience and him noticing. By the time he woke up from his coma, he was already tied to a chair. (In this movie, the male protagonist is tied up a total of 5 times, each time with an orgasm and reversal.) ）
Why do I repeatedly emphasize that the director deliberately portrays the heroine as an "idealistic heroine"? Because after the male protagonist was tied up, the girl under the age of 14 did not torture him, but looked for evidence that he was a pedophile all over the house...
In order to find evidence, the little girl also tirelessly played a game of mouth cannon with the pedophile, deliberately exposing her weaknesses to make the other party think that she had found an opportunity to kill back. Through the way of defeating the other party's psychology step by step, many photos of underage girls who need to be mosaicked were finally found, as well as evidence that the murdered girl Donna had contact with the male protagonist announced by the police.
In the film, the thing that both male and female audiences are impressed by is that lolita, a 14-year-old genius, castrates the 32-year-old pedophile by reading books.
Because this plot is really too wonderful, the male protagonist's child abuse behavior is too hateful, many people have watched the movie, and they still think that the girl really castrated the male protagonist with a human face and a beastly heart. In fact, there are special close-up shots in the movie, and the girl just uses the clip to make the other party feel pain...
The acting skills of the male protagonist who found that he was not castrated were really good, and he cried so much that his snot came out. (The audience is amused and happy to see it, and this is the pleasure of watching "Shuangwen"—this kind of heinous person should let them taste the greatest pain in the world!) ）
If the whole movie is constantly shaping the heroine into a perfect "individualistic" ideal heroine, then the male protagonist is constantly exposing his ugly, hypocritical, and cruel nature.
ChuChu was pitiful when he was in distress, as if he had exposed his heart, especially the scene where he was castrated, everyone thought that he really learned a lesson from the soul and would change from evil, but when he struggled to get rid of the rope, the heroine gave him the opportunity to call the police for help, but he chose to take a scalpel to kill. Then he was defeated by the heroine with an electric shock device and hung up.
In the movie, the uglier the male protagonist, the greater the female protagonist's behavior. The whole film is full of cool feelings. (That's why I recommended this movie, after watching "Suyuan", I was really comforted.) ）
In fact, the movie leaves a lot of suspense, and there are also a lot of buried pens to expose that the male protagonist is not worthy of sympathy at all. For example, most viewers do not care: is Donna killed by the male protagonist or killed by his accomplice Alan? Did the male protagonist really regret it in the end?
Whether on the operating table or in the ending part, when the heroine used her mouth to persuade him to commit suicide, he showed so much pain, but he did not tell the truth. (He said it was his accomplice who killed Donna, and his accomplice said he killed Donna before he died.) ）
We saw his dying struggles and 2 "justs" in a row. These are all directors telling the audience that pedophilia or any child-abusive perversion is not worthy of sympathy.
In general, this movie is the story of the male protagonist Jeff abducting underage girls through the Internet, trying to abuse children again, and being killed in return. Those who dare not watch the Korean child abuse movie "Suyuan" can look at this one to relieve their anger. Although we all know that there are not so many talented girls in the world, children who fall into the hands of pedophiles and other insects are difficult to escape the poisonous hands both physically and intellectually.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="135" >. This is irony from society</h1>
The inspiration for the creation of "Hard Candy fruit" is said to be that the director heard that a group of young girls appeared in Japan, specializing in robbing men who used their age and social advantages to help young girls. They use the Internet and other means to trick bad men into remote areas, and then cooperate in groups to loot people.
The story of the little white rabbit hunting and killing the hunter inspired the director, so there was this "Fruit Hard Candy".
After the film was released, it received 4 nominations that year:
In the United States, however, it was rated banned. (The reason should be out of the protection of minors, fear of imitation by children who do not know the sky.) ）
It is the third film by director David Slade, and his works include: American drama "American Gods", "Hannibal", "Breaking Bad" and so on, all of which are well-known.
The director was nominated for the Worst Director Award in 2011 for the film Twilight 3, and "Fruit Candy," released in 2005, was the only film to be nominated for a positive award. (Is the highlight of the director's life ~)
The biggest significance of this movie is probably to comfort you and me who are still alive in the world in the way of dark fairy tales. Similar to the myth that the seven fairies married Dong Yong, poor students will have it in any era, but fairies do not exist in real life, they live in mythology. Pedophilia can appear anywhere, but where to find a little girl who has courage and strategy at the age of 14 + physical fitness + has the ability to graduate in medicine?
This is just a female fairy tale made by a male director. Like "Captain America", "Superman", "Batman", etc., are all works of American personal heroism, requiring the protagonist to develop morally, intellectually, and physically, while the bad guys do whatever they want to do to the party. Although the more hateful the villain is in terms of artistic technique, the greater the empathy generated by the audience, it is really a bit harsh to entrust the task of punishing/torturing evil to a 14-year-old underage girl.
According to the phenomenon of "survivor bias", the emergence of such a 14-year-old heroine is not necessarily a good thing. There are always some self-righteous people in the world who like to say, "Everyone else is fine, why did you have an accident?" "Because of your misconduct, that's why you invite such a curse." This kind of livestock rhetoric.
All the bad guys like to blame the victims – maybe they're not suspects and haven't done anything illegal, but they have the psychological qualities to be suspects.
It is also because of the existence of such people with excrement in their brains that once there are really girls who kill the perpetrators, when other ordinary girls are mutilated, they will say: "Why are other people okay, you are in trouble?" "It must have been your misconduct that led to your own murder", "Why can she toss the prisoner to death, but you can only be mutilated to death?" To put it bluntly, you are not excellent, not working hard, too lazy blablabla..."...
These tiger and wolf words, on the contrary, have encouraged the arrogance of criminals, and caused more girls to dare not seek help after persecution, and eventually to die to seek relief.
The most distressing example is Lin Yihan, the author of "Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise", who published a novel in February 2017, which is actually calling for help from the society in disguise. But on April 27, at the age of 26, she chose to commit suicide because her call for help was ignored, and she was greeted with voyeurism, questioning, and accusations. (Those who say she didn't protect herself and die without fear are executioners.) ）
Despicable is the passport of the despicable. Just like the pedophiles in the movie, until death, they feel that their behavior is just "just", this kind of social scum, the knife does not cut them, they do not know the pain, the knife cuts them, they only know that they will hurt, and they can never realize that other people will also be in pain.
The protection of victims should never begin with the requirement that victims learn to protect themselves. The ancients all had the ability to understand that "the good wanderer drowns, the good rider falls" and "the wise man will lose a thousand worries", and no matter how strong a person is, when he encounters an evil person who has the intention to harm others, there will also be times when he is negligently victimized.
And the evil people harm others, it is to find your weaknesses to start. A person's strengths will also be your weaknesses. If you are good, he will use your goodness; if you are strong, he will use your strength. Who remembers the time when "a female student sent a pregnant woman home, but was raped and killed by a pregnant woman and her husband"?
I have always felt that it is very anti-intellectual to say that the victim should protect himself when an accident occurs. Tragedy has already happened, and saying less than two cool words is the basic conscience of being a human being.
Finally, I would like to emphasize: the movie is a movie, and the 14-year-old girl in the movie can kill pedophilia is the arrangement of the script, and it will be a "cool text" experience to see it, and don't imitate it in real life.
