Due to the shortage of supply, the comments of film critics have been delayed. The "Fruit Hard Candy" that has been previewed is still covered with a mysterious veil. People outside the New York area are eager to know: How is this movie? Even if you can't see it, you can at least see some clues from the comments of film critics, but now even the comments of film critics are not visible. Compared with the comments that have ended the movie on the Internet, it is even more itchy.

This situation was broken until 11:00 noon on Friday, and the first professional film critic comment was officially released.

Unexpectedly, it is reasonable that the first professional review did not come from the New York Times. Obviously, the New York Times did not receive privileges in the surging movie viewing craze. The first review was presented by the veteran film critic Lawrence Topman of the New Yorker.

"In nature, the biological chain of the strong prey on the weak is a very wonderful link. Every creature can become a hunter, and every creature can also become a prey. In the process of changing roles between hunters and prey, people always habitually sympathize with the weak, but they think that this is the laws of nature and cannot be broken, just as we cannot let lions give up hunting antelope. But what about the same biological chain being put into human society?

In terms of morality and emotion, we always look at the bloody and cruelty of criticizing hunters from the perspective of prey; but in terms of laws and regulations, we must examine and judge the right and wrong between hunters and prey from an objective and fair perspective. In the final analysis, we try to be fair, but we are always protecting the interests of our own group, just like in nature. Lions protect the interests of lions, and antelopes protect the interests of antelope. The distinction between hunters and prey is not important. Therefore, whites are discriminating against black people, heterosexuals are discriminating against homosexuality, and men are discriminating against women. We are all hunters, and we are all prey, but what exactly determines our attributes?

‘Fruit Hard Candy’ explores this profound and complex issue with a short and concise story. In the whole story, there are five characters, but there are only two core characters, 33-year-old Jeff and 14-year-old Haley. This tells a story of love/childhood/fetishness.

Jeff is a hunter and Haley is a prey. This is the tone of the story, but as the story progresses, we suddenly find that the innocent and ignorant 14-year-old girl is a hunter, while the mature and experienced thirty-three-year-old love/childhood/ethics becomes prey, and the story begins to become interesting. In order not to affect the fun of watching the movie, in this comment, I will give up further explanation of the plot, just telling every audience that the characters of the hunter and the prey are still changing continuously since then, so that we begin to feel confused: Who is the hunter, who is the prey, and who is the real source of sin?

This is exactly the reflection left by the movie.

For Hailey, Jeff's love/childhood/obsession is a sin. She represents thousands of victimized girls, launches a counterattack and fights against her destiny with both hands; for Jeff, Hailey tries to play a judge for a private trial, and he is sentenced to death without any evidence. Hailey is the embodiment of sin, and he must resist in order to survive. But deeper, why did Hailey not choose to resort to the law? Why did Jeff form the bad habit of love/childhood/obsession? For Hailey and Jeff, they have been carrying heavy pasts and have come to the present. They were prey, but now they have become hunters. The hunters hidden in the past represent the sins of the past.

Even the other three characters appearing in the movie represent hunters and preys, forming a huge biological chain.

This is like a vicious cycle.

In the Crime Trilogy, Lancelot explores a very profound and realistic topic. What exactly makes sin create? In the "Fruit Hard Candy", Lancelot discusses another very serious and heavy topic. What exactly makes people give up formal legal and just means and choose sin?

These are two very similar topics, but lead to two completely different consequences. ‘Fruit Hard Candy’ reveals a cruel and bloody answer: What should we do if legal justice means cannot achieve the purpose of punishment?

Why do countless criminals choose to commit another crime after leaving prison? Even after many criminals are sentenced to life imprisonment, they still cannot get rid of the habit of crime? In the Crime Trilogy, Lancelot expounded his point of view that the root cause of crime is the indifference of society and the influence of the environment; but in the 'Fruit Hard Candy', Lancelot put forward a bold assumption, what if the original nature of man is evil? Then what should we do?

Breaking the vicious cycle between hunters and prey is like breaking the prey of the weak and the survival of the fittest, it seems like an impossible task. Killing is the instinct of a lion, so what is the instinct of a human being between good and evil? If there is no essential difference between humans and animals, how should killing and crime be stopped?

This is not only a core idea of ​​the movie, but also a philosophical proposition. Such a magnificent and huge theme, Lancelot conducted in-depth discussions on human nature. The details in the movie are very worth pondering.

Haley once had the opportunity to escape, but she chose to stay; Jeff once had the opportunity to call the police, but he chose to give up; the coffee shop clerk had the opportunity to see through the danger, but he chose to tease; the neighbor next door had the opportunity to interrupt the crime, but she chose to remain silent; Ginnel once had the opportunity to end the crime, but she chose to leave without saying goodbye.

Everyone has a choice. To be precise, everyone has the right to choose when facing good and evil. This is also the biggest difference between humans and animals. The ability to think and do things makes us the so-called "high-level animals", but the irony is here, and everyone will make a similar choice - the decision that is beneficial to themselves.

In the Crime Trilogy, Lancelot defines this behavior as "social indifference", which can be understood as selfishness or self-protection; but in "fruit hard candy", Lancelot defines this behavior as the source of "nature evil", when selfishness becomes an excuse to protect oneself, when cowardice becomes a safe haven for escaping harm, and when fear becomes a reason to give up confrontation, we are already committing sin in this way, like a butterfly effect, deeply affecting everyone.

This pessimism and despair runs through the entire film and becomes the fundamental source of the work's light of human nature. It is worth noting that every choice Haley has in the movie has profound meaning, which is also a means for Lancelot to reflect on himself, analyze himself, and condemn himself. I believe that every audience can taste different meanings from Haley's choices, and this "difference" is precisely the difference between good nature and evil nature, or in other words, this is also the difference between how we define ourselves.

After watching "Fruit Hard Candy", the excitement of this movie has just begun. Everyone will have their own answer, which is also the most beautiful part of Lancelot's works.

After dedicated the well-known and popular crime trilogy, Lancelot brought surprises again. Especially the script of the small pattern, which fully demonstrated Lancelot's talent. Each character has his own mission and metaphor, each plot is full of reflection, each line has corresponding meaning, and even every picture has vigorous vitality. In the seemingly ordinary small pattern, human brilliance bursts out, which makes most works eclipse.

It is hard to imagine that this genius director and screenwriter - and actor once again contributed an absolute masterpiece worthy of history!"

Lawrence's reviews are magnificent and magnificent. While avoiding spoilers, the entire film is deeply and thoroughly analyzed. It can be seen that Lawrence's evaluation of "hard fruit candy" even exceeds that of Lance's crime trilogy, which is really shocking.

At the same time, Lawrence gave a full score of 100 points, and gave direct support to his views, which immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.

So far, people have no reference objects - netizens' comments can only believe in three points, and the others are nonsense. People need an authoritative object to lay the foundation. Whether it is the "New Yorker" or Lawrence, this is already authoritative enough. This authoritative source not only gave supreme praise, but also gave a full score of 100 points. This is like a Mars fell into a gasoline warehouse, "booming" directly igniting everyone's enthusiasm.

The popularity of online discussions has increased to a higher level, almost spreading throughout North America with the situation of sweeping away thousands of troops. Especially at the end of the comments, Lawrence mocked "Good night, good luck". The two works are both small-format works, and both have outstanding scripts, but under the lens of different directors, they have different textures and depths.

"Good night, good luck" pays too much attention to the sense of the times and the sense of camera. George Clooney injects an elegant and gentlemanly temperament into the film, but he falls behind in the resurgence of thought and deep digging; "Fruit Hard Candy" appears more mature and complete. Lance injects a cold and thrilling atmosphere into the film, but he always uses the perspective of a third party to dispatch the relationship between the hunter and the prey, and then completes the theme through the character Haley.

From this perspective, the finished products produced by two scripts written by Reims are very different in the eyes of Lawrence.

This sneak-out comment made netizens' enthusiasm reach an unprecedented high. What was even more itchy is that now is just the second day after the "Fruit Hard Candy" preview, only two landmark theaters in New York can see this work. Therefore, netizens can only see the style of this work through enthusiastic discussions and comments from sneak-out critics.
Chapter completed!
