She is the victim and the crowd won't let go

This is not to say that these vicious cases are not abominable, but that seeing more will produce an effect, this effect is bad, but it is real, so when the story of these vicious cases to see more, people naturally have a sense of seeing, even if there is such a feeling generated, vicious cases are still vicious cases, which is not to give them an injustice.

The Complicity Effect" is a vicious case that makes people feel chilled. Jenifer is a lonely little girl who is unwilling to get in touch with others, and also unwilling to contact others, because of the loneliness, so there are few friends, and therefore, Jenifer especially cherishes the friendship with others. Alexander is a cheerful boy, but like all boys in adolescence, Alexander becomes reckless because of his family and dares to try all kinds of things, including the sexual impulses of adolescence under the influence of his family.

One day, Jenifer was violated by Alexander, although not to the point of outrageous violation, this way of violation of the same Jenifer was hurt, and more children told things happened. Alexander never admitted that he had committed a crime against Jenifer, and Alexander's mother went out of her way to spread rumors about Jenifer on the Internet to defend her son, and Jenifer became even more withdrawn under the attack. However, this is just the beginning.

The town is small, so news spreads quickly. Alexander has many friends, so even the wrongdoer side will get more support, while the Jenifer family is not able to get more sympathy even if they are victims, but amid all the vicious attacks, Jenifer becomes more withdrawn and her family is more targeted. Alexander's parents' friends graffiti the walls of Jenifer's house, Alexander's friends constantly harass Jenifer with text messages, and Alexander herself, though haunted by her crimes, is unwilling to reveal the truth. Day by day, the trauma suffered by Jenifer's heart grows more and more.

Finally, one day, when the graduation ceremony is over, Jenifer's family also began to blame her, the heartbroken Jenifer began to lightly, secretly brought a shotgun to prepare for suicide, at the same time, in another place, Alexander continued to inflict his bestiality on another girl.

The whole film is carried out within a tone, from the beginning of the wedding to the later occurrence of the vicious case, the story has been overdriven, and the coldness of this film never stops. The theme of "The Complicity Effect" is simple: how to deal with those who are hurt in vicious cases. It is a timeless topic, but there is no timeless answer.

Jenifer in this film is a victim, but there is no way to exist as a victim in this town because the town is too small. Because the town is too small, the basic framework of the town does not take the law as a guide, but the human society as support. The Jennifers are small in the town, and even though they are victims, they are not able to gain the sympathy and understanding of others as victims. The Alexanders, on the other hand, are the leading family in the town, so even though they are the perpetrators, they still have the means to gain the sympathy of more people.

This raises the question of who needs to be saved, the victim or the perpetrator. What kind of attitude should we hold when facing such a case? No one is willing to believe Jenifer, just because of her withdrawn character, just because of her bland family background, just because she has no friends, and no one is willing to listen to her inner voice, moreover, because she has no one to talk to. People prefer to believe Alexander, to believe everything Alexander says, even when his words and actions are full of lies, but people still want to believe because Alexander has many friends. After all, the Alexander family is familiar with many people. But can all this be taken as corroboration of a case? Of course not.

What should be the first reference when we judge what is right and what is wrong? Whether it is the daily likes and dislikes of a person or the basic judgment of the facts, whether Alexander had violated for Genevieve, the police answered, all the objective facts have been answered. Yet people are unable to accept such facts in a humane society. Therefore, although Jenifer is the victim, but is seen by everyone in the town as a rule-breaker. Because she breaks the impression of the Alexander family.

And will Jenifer's supporters stick it out? Will they defend their rights when they are faced with such a situation? The power of public opinion is endless, and Jenifer becomes even more isolated when the outcome of her case affects everyone around her. Her mother's boyfriend backed down because he succumbed to violence, her mother took it out on herself, her sister couldn't play soccer because of it, and the whole family suffered too much bad luck because of it. It was all blamed on Jenifer, why did she have to get involved in this? Why not someone else?

When everyone around Jenifer thinks this way, they ignore the fact that the matter is subject to Jenifer's will. Obviously, no, we demand too much power from the perpetrators but ignoring the victim is a more vulnerable existence. When Jenifer had no way to make his way out, and Alexander was still committing crimes, no one thought about who we had saved and who we had hurt.
