Inside a dark and hidden basement
The girl who lives in this family is dying
She was pulled by a belt
Burned by cigarette butts
Beaten Insult
The lower body is also stuffed into a Coke bottle
And what caused this tragedy
It turned out to be a group of children who didn't know anything
however
Are innocent children really so vicious?
No!
Behind the truth
In fact, there is another big hand controlling them
Percy is a single mother with six children
She lost her father at the age of 10
Dropped out of school at the age of 16
Married at the age of 18
Then began the journey of marriage, divorce, pregnancy, and childbirth
Her two marriages
It all ended in betrayal and violence
So much so that in the end she had to drag 6 children through the torment
Ming ming is not yet 40 years old
But his face was already covered with wrinkles
Non-stop smoking plus dozens of births and miscarriages
She suffered from severe mental weakness as well as asthma and bronchitis
Huge living expenses
Every day it was pressing down on her nerves
After divorcing her ex-husband
Percy meets her current boyfriend, John
It was a much younger man than she was
John's presence not only did not alleviate Pesci's difficult status quo
Instead, from time to time, he asked her for money to spend
Equals frost
The feelings between them are more like physical gratification
But nevertheless
Percy secretly bore him a son
John never wanted to fulfill the duty of a father
It doesn't matter if Pesci and her 6 children live or die
They still maintain a gun friendly relationship with each other
This is true all year round
No way
In order to survive, Percy had to iron clothes
Such piecemeal miscellaneous
Earn some money to subsidize your family
The days were rather shabby
She agonizes over money every day
Until once
The daughters brought back two friends
"Amy" and "Ellie"
A pair of beautiful sister flowers
The girls met at church
And the parents of the sister flowers
It is a small vendor in a carnival amusement park
Traveling around all year round
Because of the profession
Parents don't have much time to look after them
Hear this
Percy had an idea to make money
She offered to raise it with the father of the sisters
Can girls
Homestay here on your own
Only pay $20 per week
In this way, you can save a lot of trouble
Convenient and hassle-free
Not to mention that she already has 6 children herself
Not bad for these 2
Father Ai was a little shaken
After discussing with Aimu
They decided to do as Percy said
But in fact
Amy and her sister didn't want to stay in this strange family
They still want to live with mom and dad
The mother comforted the two sisters
Wait for the tour to end
Just come back and pick them up
The two could only compromise
The first day of boarding
Amy is led by Petsy's eldest daughter, Xiaohong
Met her boyfriend, Little Black
A cashier at a supermarket
They are very cautious about each other
Because Xiao Hei is a married person
And Percy was very much against Xiaohong being with this poor boy
Amy was a little surprised that Xiaohong was so open
But maybe the adult world is so passionate
She didn't take the matter to heart
Until one day
Amy found out that Xiaohong was secretly hiding in the room crying
I didn't know until I asked
Xiaohong was pregnant
But Xiao Hei was already married
I don't want children either
So for a while she didn't know what to do except cry
After venting
Xiaohong asked Amy not to tell the story
Don't say a word
Until she figured out a way
Amy nodded
It was a grant to her request
Soon it was time for the sisters to repay their boarding fees
But Pesci waited
Nor did he wait for Father Ai's check
This made her living conditions already tense
I became more and more agitated
Under the fury
For the first time, Percy exposed her extreme nature
Take the two sisters to the basement
Corporal punishment with a leather whip begins
Amy is upset with her sister
A bunch of brains took all the responsibility
This experience
A bell rang for the two sisters
They are no longer immersed in the plain and peaceful surface life of this home
Always looking forward to going home soon
Desperately
The check for the homestay was sent the next day
The envelope was also interspersed with what the parents were going to say to the sisters
Pesci left only the check
In the blink of an eye, the letter was thrown in the trash
So Amy and her sister were completely in the dark
night
Xiao Hei suddenly found Xiao Hong and proposed to break up
The reason was that his wife had returned from out of town
He wants to return to his family
The reluctant little red desires to be retained
But it was overthrown by Xiao Hei
Hiding in the corner, Amy is worried about the child in the little red belly
Had to stand up and tell the secret
Stop Little Black's move
Who expected the man to say don't put the pot on his head
Say goodbye and leave
Humiliated and angry Little Red
Blame Amy for all this
She returned home in tears
Lie to the mother
Amy was out there saying some nasty things about her disgusting
I hope my mother can punish this "outsider" for her.
Watching my daughter being bullied
Percy certainly doesn't give up
She took the name of an elder
Let Amy apologize to Xiaohong in public
He also clasped Amy's hands
Let Xiaohong physically punish her and beat her
And the younger sister Ellie is also implicated because she is afraid
Just watching my sister get beaten
Indifferent
But that's not the worst
Because soon after
Little Red is pregnant with things
It was actually passed into the school
For a while everyone was talking
Who the hell is her child
Vicious public opinion has brought great torture to Xiaohong, who is already in pain
meanwhile
Ellie on the other side was in the trash can
Letters sent to them by their parents were found
She thinks
It is necessary to call my parents back
Confess what happened to you
However, this scene happened to be bumped into by several of Percy's children
They reported to Patience
The Amy sisters and parents play small reports
Percy also wondered where the money for the two people's phone calls came from.
Although Amy had already explained that she had earned it by picking up bottles herself
She still thinks paranoidly
The two sisters stole their own money
So he picked up the cigarette butt and pressed it down towards Amy's little hand
An instant
Screams echoed through the sky
Ellie watched this scene sheepishly
The atmosphere did not dare to come out
I am afraid that the next second I will be tormented by myself
I only hope that my parents can take them out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible
At a parent-child gathering organized by the school
Someone revealed it to Amy
Xiao Hong's pregnancy was said by Xiao Fat
Chubby has always had a crush on Amy
Stalk her often
He also hid in the shadows that day
Witnessed the whole thing going through
Hear the news
Amy's impression of Xiao Fat plummeted
Percy's boyfriend John also ran to the party to eat and drink
Before leaving, I also said hello to Amy
A scene in Percy's view
It's totally flirting
So back home she started going crazy again
Shouting that Amy is a faceless little J man
In front of the children
Tucked the bottle into her lower body
This time the punishment has been twisted to the point where it can be described as perverted
After the fact
She ordered the children to throw Amy into the basement
And cowardly Ellie except to cry
There is no courage to resist
Since then
Amy felt like she was imprisoned
Completely lost school with my friends
The right to play
To the outside world, Pesci would lie that Amy had been sent to a juvenile correctional institution
Internally, she also asked the children to speak with her
Just say that Amy herself is disobedient
There was no room for her at home
This way down
No one would ever ask about it again without any curiosity
Not only that, she said
Anyone has the right to punish Amy
So
Ignorant children would tease her for fun
Every day, he took his friends to the basement to insult her and punish her
Take a cigarette butt and burn Amy's thigh
If you don't dare to burn it, you're a coward
The girl pleaded bitterly
Weak moaning
Heart-rending screams
In the end, these sounds become the notes of their interesting lives
Finally Xiaohong's conscience told her
The punishment is enough
It was time to forgive Amy
But my mother wouldn't allow it
Demonic fury
It will be strengthened by the disappearance of responsibility
Now Pesci has become a form that makes children afraid
Xiaohong looked at her mother in disbelief
The look in his eyes was full of strangeness
The original intention of punishing Amy was to avenge her
Or to satisfy the mother's own inner dissatisfaction and selfish desires
Xiaohong was also confused
But for whatever reason
They actually understand it all
Amy is innocent
It is hard to imagine the consequences of continuing like this
Her daughter's "kindness" makes Pesci feel more like a bad person
Furious, she ordered everyone to go to the basement
Then use a red-hot soldering iron
Carved on Amy's stomach
The line "I'm a prostitute."
And take pride in it."
The penalty is halfway through
She asked Xiao Chu to continue carving in her place
Also stimulated Xiao Chu said
Amy and all the men have a leg
I just don't like him
You can't make this slut feel like it doesn't matter
ultimately
Percy managed to get all the kids involved in the beastly act
And after the boundless torture
Xiaohong found the dying Amy
She hugged the scaly girl
In the night when no one is around
Quietly led her out
The movement woke up the sleeping Percy
Just wait until she reacts to block it
Amy had run away
Conscience found that Xiaohong stayed behind to stop her mother's pursuit
As Amy ran farther and farther away
Her physical strength was also gradually exhausted
The key moment was when Xiao Fat found her
Unexpectedly
This time The little fat not only did not hurt her
Instead, he also drove
Take her out of this hell
Found parents who have been separated for a long time
The father sees his daughter who has escaped death
His eyes were filled with horror
The mother cried and hugged Amy
Crying that he shouldn't have left her there
They returned with Amy the same route
Wanted to save another daughter
But when I walked into the house, I found it
On the ground lay Amy's body
The children were a mess
Asked for help from Percy what to do now
And Percy was still smoking unhurriedly
Tell everyone
Amy was fine
She was just pretending
But children are not fools
Amy was no longer breathing
The crowd rushed to call the police
No one listened to Percy anymore
Ellie was still standing dumbfounded
The little face was already crying red
It turned out that Amy had not escaped at all
Everything was nothing more than her fantasy
The real Amy had died under the torment of this group of demons
She was found at the time of her discovery
His body was covered with wounds left by abuse
All the murderers were taken to court
Including the kids
Confronted by a lawyer
The children did not dare to lie anymore
They confessed their crimes truthfully
Except For Percy
She doesn't admit that she abused Amy
Although the children have already given up her means
Although the evidence is conclusive
And all pointed to her
Even though Amy's death was so innocent
So pathetic
She can still say things like "the kids are lying."
This tragic woman
You can sacrifice Amy to protect your own children
It is also possible to sacrifice one's own children
to protect herself
But the law is not the place to let her pretend to be stupid
Eventually, Pesci was convicted of first-degree murder
Sentenced to life imprisonment
Xiaohong was sentenced to the same crime
Gave birth to a child in prison
None of the guilty children escaped justice
And Amy?
Her soul was back at the carnival
Sit on her favorite carousel
That's the only one
A place she felt safe
The film "Sin in the American Countryside" was released at the Sundance Film Festival on January 19, 2007
Directed by Tommy O.H. Havel and starring Elliott Peggy Harley Macfarlane and others
The film is based on a true case in Indianapolis, USA, in 1965
Because it's real
So it's better than I've ever seen
Any crime movie or even a murder movie is even more heinous
It is full of sins that no screenwriter can write
We tend to say that when a person has money, he will go bad
In fact, this is a kind of discrimination against the rich
And the root cause of discrimination
It is the envy and hatred of ordinary people for the good life of the rich
We all know it in our hearts
If you have money, you get bad
In fact, this is not absolute
The poorer the place
The more sleepy people are
The more ignorant you will be
These people have always struggled in their lives
The heart is full of contradictions
There is even physical torture
Not enough to eat
There is no cure for illness
There is also tremendous pressure
So the basis of a good life is money
Nothing wrong with that
Human nature is inherently evil
We are nothing more than a mask of civilization
When evil has a place to be released
The ugliness of humanity will shock the world
Look around
How many parents "implement" their unfinished dreams in their children
How many parents blame their children
He also blamed the child's fault on those who had nothing to do with him
The world
There is never a shortage of selfish and ignorant spectators
There is no shortage of dark and thick sadness
There is no shortage of followers who are numb and blind
The point of tragedy is not to tell us how miserable the person is
It is to warn people now to avoid the recurrence of tragedy
