"I mean let's meet."
The chat showed that the girl was taking the initiative, "My sister can drive me to the Mittens Cafe, give me an hour to shower, and I'll see you at one o'clock."
This girl taking the initiative to invite Jeff seemed like something out of the ordinary.
Tony Guzman rested his chin, his body slightly off the backrest, his pen scribbling mindlessly in his notebook while his mind wondered, what is this girl up to? Isn't this a little white rabbit delivered to the big bad wolf's mouth for nothing?
"Another girl to suffer?" It was hard for Daisy not to think so, but the chat gave her another revelation, "It's like Jeff is totally following this girl's lead."
A black hand grabbed a water pen and wrote in a notebook - opening scene: seven points! With that written, Jones-Butler continued to follow the progress of the movie.
Joel Graham was a little lethargic, just from the beginning, it was clear that the movie was sold on the theme of violence and sensitivity, he was not too keen on such movies, most of the films bought through his hands over the years were purely literary.
Next to him, Baker Lassiter cocked his head and looked at the screen, also made his own judgment, the opening scene is not particularly colorful, but can produce a certain appeal to a specific group of viewers, and the two scenes are closely linked to hook people to continue to watch, rather than watching the beginning and then lose interest.
Music suddenly sounded, a music symbols from the depths of the heart, sound moderate, can not hear the symbols outside the music, solid color background, spread over the field of vision, here cool, full of cool, the red back suddenly broke into the line of sight, turn back to the moment, the bright eyes awakened everyone's heart the softest side.
The girl is not particularly beautiful, delicate doll face but radiates innocence and cuteness, so that people can not help but want to care, want to remind, the man who walks up behind her, is an uncompromisingly vicious wolf.
Haley and Jeff met, the two sat in the cafe to talk to each other, seems to be particularly opportunistic, the girl spoke very quickly, speak with a child's vision of the future and expectations, the man seems to be gentle and courteous, but always echoed the words of the girl, giving people a feeling of ulterior motives.
The camera keeps switching between the two, gray and red keep changing, Jones-Butler can't help but smile faintly, it's really a very interesting director.
"Great idea!" Tony Guzman nodded in the background.
Even pure fans like Daisy saw the implication of the shot, "Isn't that the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood?"
Little Red Riding Hood eventually had to follow the Big Bad Wolf home, which made Daisy couldn't help but sweat for her.
By this point in the movie, the audience has been told in very simple camera language whether the Big Bad Wolf will eat Little Red Riding Hood or Little Red Riding Hood will defeat the Big Bad Wolf ...
At the end of the screening room, Tony Guzman's body has completely left the seat back, originally he intended to watch the beginning and leave, but now he was skillfully thrown by the movie a question, driven to want to continue to watch.
"There are connections between each scene, and each scene throws up questions at the right time, questions that aren't obscure, but instead are simple and clear enough to tantalize one's curiosity ..."
As he wrote this, Jones-Butler drew an x over his previous seven and rewrote the number - 7.5!
Just when Daisy is still worried about Little Red Riding Hood, the next plot development is a big surprise to her, this meeting is the little girl's elaborate setup, because she found out that the photographer had abused her best friend, she is here to take revenge, the fruit hard candies become ******, the little angel reveals her face as a goddess of vengeance, and puts down the photographer with drugs.
Seeing Jeff tied up like a broken sack on top of a heavy chair, Daisy mentally screamed yes, but felt that this was not enough.
Not to mention her, even her male companion was visibly relieved and looked at the screen with anticipation in her eyes; what would Haley do to Jeff?
Someone at the very back suddenly stood up, and Tony Guzman moved forward two rows to pick a better seat.
The theater was unusually quiet, everyone's eyes were glued to the big screen, even Bill Rossis, the agent.
Even though he had seen the three-hour-long second rough cut in the studio, he was by this time emotionally evoked by the tight pace and the conflicts that arose one after the other.
While Haley was fetching water for Jeff, Bill Rossis quietly glanced at the three people next to him; apart from Joel Graham, who was disinterested, Jones Butler and Baker Lassiter were watching the movie intently, the latter in particular, writing something in his notebook every now and then.
Bill Rossis dropped back to look at Murphy's side of the table, perhaps he should be bumped up a notch on the potential scale?
On the screen, Haley took off her red jacket, revealing the black t-shirt inside, Little Red Riding Hood transformed into an avenging angel at this moment.
The character also appeared a ninety degree transformation, that doll face is still delicate and cute, but the eyes are no longer naive, the tone of speech has become sharp, with her behavior, it is definitely a violent loli that is extremely well hidden.
"Screw him hard!" Daisy called out in her mind.
The movie didn't disappoint, as Hayley brought out one of the frames from Jeff's studio and questioned if the girls had been violated by him, and of course Jeff denied it out loud, except that the louder he denied it, the wider his mouth opened, and the more Hayley could pepper-spray him in the mouth without mercy.
Jeff's tears and snot flow in unison, but it's impossible to sympathize with him. If it were just framed portraits of these young girls, some people might be offended by Haley's approach, but the film opens with an image of him on the other side of the spectrum, and now that so many photographs of teenage girls are hanging in his studio, it's hard not to wonder if they've been assaulted as well.
Just thinking about the brutal abuse at the beginning makes everyone think that Haley treating Jeff like that was nothing at all, and that Jeff deserved what he endured.
Even, they felt it wasn't enough.
With a stack of framed pictures of the young girl in front of her, Jeff doesn't admit to having done anything wrong and instead warns Haley that what she's doing could be against the law, and the little girl shows her own high level of intelligence by continually bludgeoning Jeff both verbally and psychologically.
Who is this teenage actress? This is the other side of Jones-Butler's concern.
Even though the movie is only one-third of the way through, the actress playing Haley has already left a deep impression on her, with her initial innocence and cuteness, followed by her ruthless determination, transforming in a very natural way, and her powerful aura not only overwhelms her opponent Jeff, but also makes her feel a bit surprised.
Even, Jones-Butler unconsciously associated with Kirsten Dunst's outstanding performance in The Virgin's Death.
The movie doesn't make for easy viewing, as more and more incriminating evidence emerges as Haley rummages through Jeff's home.
