Everyone thought that the child would not lie, but when Clara clarified that she was just lying, no one believed it.

Although he was legally cleared of suspicion, in reality, this was not the case.

Lucas came back from the supermarket and sat alone in the dark for a long time.

Tonight is Christmas Eve, a day that should have been filled with happiness and reunion with his family, but instead he endured unfounded unfair treatment and rejection.

After washing his face and changing into his suit, Lucas went to the church to participate in Christmas Eve prayers as usual.

On the stage, an innocent children's choir sang carols.

In the audience, Lucas looked back at Clara's father, his former best friend, who was sitting in the back.

My heart is filled with endless disappointment and struggle...

Lucas finally broke out. He grabbed his friend by the collar and yelled at him: "Look at me! Look at my eyes! See what's in my eyes? There's nothing left."

Lucas's eyes had extinguished hope for humanity, and the few punches he threw not only vented his anger, but also expressed his sorrow for his former friends' unwillingness to trust him.

After returning home from church, Clara's father sat by the bed and recalled to his child his past with Lucas. They were best friends and rode a motorcycle to steal apples... It seemed that he finally realized that he seemed to

, done wrong.

Seeing her father crying sadly, Clara said again: "I said some stupid things, but he didn't do anything."

The father touched his daughter and told her: "There is too much malice in this world, but if we support each other, the malice will eventually dissipate."

But will it really dissipate?

One year later, all the turmoil seems to have subsided. Lucas and Clara's father have also reconciled, and it seems that the ill will has really dissipated.

People who originally broke away from Lucas, stayed away from each other or even turned against each other came together again to celebrate the coming of age of Lucas' son.

Lucas gave his son the family shotgun and took him hunting.

In the forest in October, the sunshine was just right, and Lucas rekindled his hope in life. All the darkness and rumors finally passed, and people finally accepted and believed in him again. The long-lost peaceful life returned.

However, just as he was enjoying the long-lost peace, there was a sudden gunshot, and a bullet narrowly missed his head and hit the tree next to him.

This sudden gunshot seemed to tell the audience that the so-called reconciliation was hypocritical, and the smiles and hugs were fake.

The friendship that has been repaired on the surface is completely fragile. You have no idea how many turbulent waves are behind it, and you don’t know how many people still believe that Lucas is a pervert in their hearts.

Once some labels are attached, they are really difficult to remove!

Lucas was like the hunted elk in the forest, defenseless, and countless hunters hiding in the dark could hurt him.

Still under the same sunshine, the light in Lucas's eyes, which had just been ignited with hope, slowly dimmed again. He knew that humanity had failed him once again, and there was nothing in his eyes again.

The movie ends like this.

But there was total silence in the entire screening room.

The gunshot just now made some spectators who were smiling completely unable to laugh anymore.

Some only have a bone-chilling coldness.

After a long time, roaring applause sounded in the Palais des Festivals.

And the discussion was endless.

"Innocence is the greatest evil, and childishness is the greatest taboo!"

"Lucas gave Clara the smile she should have had, but no one gave Lucas the innocence and life he really should have had. The malice never dissipated!"

"It's hard to tell who is right and who is wrong, but there is a victim who was stabbed in all kinds of holes. What's even more desperate is that he doesn't know who to resent?"

"Actually, the most profound hidden problem lies in family education. If Lucas's friends Theo and his wife could take good care of their children, maybe this tragedy would not happen again, right?"

"We look at things from God's perspective, but how can it be so easy in the adult world? How many of us are really competent?"

"That last shot was so exciting!" someone said.

"Yes, the most exciting thing is that Lucas was not hit! He didn't die, but he didn't see clearly who shot him. This metaphor is really wonderful!"

"Yes, because that person, the person who fired the gun, stood in the light, standing on the commanding heights, just like the people in the entire town, they stood in the sun, stood on the moral high ground, and shot at Lucas!"

"Although there was no blood, you actually killed someone! The look in Lucas's eyes at the end was really thought-provoking!"

"Who was the shooter?" someone suddenly asked.

But he soon discovered that the people around him were looking at him inexplicably and speechlessly.

"It doesn't matter who the shooter is, it's just a metaphor. Lucas' forgiveness and letting go of the past reflect his tolerance for human nature, but the superficial harmony of society and the inner estrangement form a

It's an extremely sharp contrast. It seems that the people in the small town treat Lucas the same as before, but in fact? It's just like that shot!"

"That shot was really the finishing touch, a stroke of genius! It symbolized the malice and suspicion in society. It reminded me of his "Search", but the two are different."

The movie is over, but the discussion about the movie has just begun.

"Who was the shooter?" This question, which may seem naive to many senior movie fans and filmmakers, has actually become the most discussed topic.

Some people think that it doesn't matter who the shooter is, because it's possible that everyone in the town, or the eyes of the entire town are staring at Lucas like a scope, ready to pull the trigger at any time.

trigger.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Another group of people put forward another point of view.

"Is it possible that the person who shot the gun was his son Marcus? Because compared to Lucas, as a son, he could not forgive those who came before him, but his father Lucas forgave them!

"

"How could his son shoot his father? No, no, it's more likely that it was Clara's family, right?"

"Didn't I tell you everything? That shot is just symbolic. It is undoubtedly telling us that no one in the town will truly forgive him! Or truly believe in him!"

"The ending is great. That shot sublimates the movie!"

There is also a section discussing the issue of Clara.

Just like the question Li Yi asked the leading actor earlier: "Is Clara a little devil?"

Or is she a bad child?

"I don't think so. She actually always wanted to clarify, but at such a young age, she didn't understand at all. The questions adults ask her mainly focus on what the adults want to get, not what the child said!"

"Yes, Clara may be the instigator, but she is also a victim! How could a normal family let Clara see things she shouldn't?

And has the impact of this incident on Clara really been eliminated? Otherwise, what will happen to her when she grows up and gradually understands it? "

"She did take revenge because of being rejected, and because of her irresponsible lies one after another, which made me feel angry while watching the movie, but she later carefully told the truth again and again.

Isn’t friendship deep enough? We have talked about acquaintance crimes before, and it is understandable for couples to protect their children. This may be the case for any parent.

The malice that invades the bone marrow in the film does not seem to come from the so-called "child victims" and "victims' parents", but from the small town residents who are watching. They all feel that they are righteous and all

I feel like I am punishing bad people and doing what I should do.

I think you are a bad person, and bad people deserve to die. If you escape the punishment of the law, then we will punish you. We will exclude you, beat you, kill your dog, and even want to shoot you, because we are just.

But in fact, this blind justice is the most terrifying thing.

People are often irrational. Once we believe that we are righteous, we automatically put on colored glasses. Everything we see is evidence that supports our ideas, and all clues that contradict it are deliberately ignored or misinterpreted.

The fact is that blind righteous people don't care what the truth is.

Just like the residents of the town don't believe Lucas's clarifications again and again, nor do they take Clara's explanations seriously. They only believe what they want to believe.

It is easy to criticize from the moral high ground, but it is difficult to predict how one's words and deeds will affect others.

We are afraid of prejudice, but many times we contribute to it ourselves. Children’s words should not be taken lightly, but people’s words should be feared."

"It's really sad. Kind people always make people feel sad. Lucas knew very well that Clara should not bear the responsibility. After being abused, he still protected her as before and refused to let the child feel malicious, even if his descendants

He has to learn to accept the world that will rob his personality for half his life, even if he can never forget the powerlessness that was once buried in the abyss.

Everyone will eventually fall into oblivion. The little girl told the truth. You thought everything would return to calmness and fall into tranquility like taking sleeping pills. However, the tail of the story gave you a fatal blow. Explosive gunshots sounded, and the encircling hunters were still alive.

On the way, it turns out that the evil in this world will never disappear when the truth is revealed."

"The intimidation of children's unbridled words is enough to kill adults, but what is even more terrifying is the fearful adult world. Blindly stupid, blindly obedient, violent, and kind-hearted hunters eventually become prey in the eyes of everyone."

Soon, "The Hunt" became the hottest film at the entire Cannes Film Festival.

Because this movie maps too many points.

Someone talked about why children lie.

Some people analyze it from a psychological perspective.

"Why did Clara lie?

The girl Clara lied three times in total, two of which were voluntary and one of which was induced.

Clara secretly put a small heart-shaped gift made by herself in Lucas's trouser pocket. When Lucas found out, he asked Clara to give it to other children, and told Clara that kissing is only allowed by parents. The confession failed,

The rejected Clara did not admit that the gift was from her, and claimed that Lucas was lying. It is not difficult to see that Clara's self-esteem was slightly frustrated, so she accused the other party of lying to regain face. This is Clara's role in the film

The first time I lied.

Some adults will think that how old a child is, why should he care about face? In fact, after a child begins to have self-awareness, around the age of two, he will develop self-esteem. For example, if you say that he wets the bed in front of other people
