HARD CANDY : DVD REVIEW : EDGIEST MOVIE I EVER SAW : CHRISTINE TRZYNA DVD FILM REVIEW
If you want to watch a movie that will make your thoughts twist and your emotions boil, then HARD CANDY, A Lionsgate release staring Patrick Wilson and Ellen Page is the one to watch. The screenplay was written by Brian Nelson.
14 year old Hayley is no doubt a genius, so what's she doing meeting up with a 30-something photographer she met over the Internet?
Does she do this often? Is she Taking Justice into her own hands, making a fantasy of torture and revenge into reality? Seems so. How guilty is the photograper of sexual abuse, rape, or even murder of another girl? Is Hayley a sociopath? Do we think Jeff the photographer deserves what he's getting? Or is it Haley who is truly the spiritually sick one?
From almost the beginning to the end, I was all torn up. My thoughts went all over and my stomach cramped.
Thus this production was fine art, for it did the most that any great piece of art can do which is make us question our own ethics and values as we relate or can't and so involve us in the art.
Should you feel sorry for him? Is she right in her assumptions and accusations?
So many questions!
