Chapter 329 The murderous little girl 1
In the first few minutes, the protagonist''s family is introduced concisely and clearly.
An American who works in the clothing trade in Hong Kong has quite a fortune. He has a son and a deaf-mute daughter. She was pregnant with her third child, but she died in the belly of the heroine Kate. Kate had a shadow and often had to see a psychiatrist.
The doctor suggested that she adopt a child to divert her attention and soothe the pain.
When Kate came out from the doctor, she drove through the streets of Hong Kong. Here is a description:
The streets are filled with high-rise buildings and busy traffic. Men and women in beautiful clothes are walking through the picture. The car passes through the street and drives halfway up the mountain and enters the courtyard of a villa.
The audience at the scene expressed their curiosity.
Most people have never been to Hong Kong, but they have watched some Hong Kong movies. In previous Hong Kong films, Hong Kong was either the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China. Even modern dramas were in shabby condition and rarely showed its urban side.
The male and female protagonists of "The Orphan" are Americans. They belong to the wealthy class in Hong Kong, and naturally they are exposed to things from the same class. They drive luxury cars, live in villas, have two children, and adopted an orphan of Eastern descent...
All this is from a "condescending" perspective, just like the United States looking at the world and then being killed by orphans.
Not an innuendo! Not an innuendo! Chen Qi didn’t insinuate at all!
Kate discussed with her husband John, and John readily agreed, so they came to a church welfare home. A British nun warmly received them, and there was also a local volunteer, Liu Xuehua.
Kate is looking for the girl she likes. John is wandering around and suddenly hears a burst of singing, the episode "Edelweiss" from "The Sound of Music":
“Edelweiss, edelweiss, Everymorningyougreetme…”
He found a classroom where a little girl was drawing with her back turned. John walked in, took a look, and asked in English: "Did you draw these?"
"Yes, do you like it?"
“Great painting!”
"Thanks!"
She turned her head, revealing an oriental face, with long, slightly curly hair, big eyes, sweet and cute, and a red ribbon tied around her neck, which made her skin look particularly white and tender.
Wow!
Many viewers’ eyes lit up, what a beautiful little girl!
Foreigners with good moral character understand that Loli Island is not free, and there are also those old white men in Thailand who are looking for underage boys/girls, and they are also running around the streets...
John in the film was also stunned.
In the original version, the male protagonist did not have any unwanted thoughts about the little girl, and there was no physical relationship in this version, but Chen Qi added a touch. He made the male protagonist couldn''t help but fantasize about it, and finally controlled it.
The little girl smiled and deliberately changed into Cantonese: "My name is Esther, what''s yours?"
"John, it''s nice to meet you. My Cantonese is not very good."
"Yes, I feel it. Please sit down..."
This sentence was changed to English again, Esther stretched out her hand, and John also smiled, thinking that the other person was very interesting.
After chatting for a while, Kate came and talked with Esther. They felt that the little girl was mature and sensible, which made them happy because they didn''t want to adopt a child who didn''t understand anything and had to work hard.
The nun looked through the information for them and said: "She is from Hong Kong. She doesn''t know who her parents are. Unfortunately, a fire broke out in her last adoptive home, and she was the only one who survived... She has experienced a lot, and she looks a little different from other children. But she’s a wonderful little girl.”
In this way, the couple adopted Esther.
She behaved very well. Her youngest daughter is deaf and mute. She immediately started learning sign language and coaxed her eldest son into confusion with a few words. The couple didn''t have to worry at all. The family of five had a harmonious atmosphere.
One night, there was thunder and heavy rain.
The hero and heroine wanted to be intimate and affectionate, but at the beginning, Esther ran in with her little daughter: "Mom, Dad, we are scared!"
"Oh, come on, two little darlings!"
"I want to sleep next to daddy!"
Esther said something again, and climbed up next to John without any explanation. The couple didn''t pay attention, just treating it like a little girl acting like a baby. And Esther stuck to John''s back, stretched out her hand and hugged him gently...
The whole audience suddenly became excited.
"Lolita from the East?" "I bet this adoptive father will fall in love with her and then kill his wife."
"It could also be that Esther killed her adoptive mother, and she is the protagonist!"
“I didn’t expect that Hong Kong could shoot such bold and open subjects!”
A group of film critics and reporters were talking about it, and they consciously found the context of the film. A reporter from Taiwan''s Central News Agency was even more surprised: This girl was shot by the left. Has reform and opening up reached this level?
Do you dare to film pedophiles?
Almost everyone had the mentality of watching "Lolita" until Esther went to school and Yuan Jieying and Zhu Yin appeared.
This is an international school with many foreign children, mixed-race children and local middle-class children in Hong Kong. During recess activities, the eldest son was naughty and played with a slingshot and accidentally hit a pigeon.
The pigeon landed injured and the eldest son was a little at a loss.
Esther came over and asked with interest: "Did you beat it to death?"
"No, I wasn''t careful. I didn''t mean to hurt it."
"But it''s dying!"
"I, we can go find a doctor..."
The eldest son thought he had thought of a good idea, and his eyes lit up: "Yes, send it to a doctor, there is one in the school..."
"Crack!"
The pigeons were beaten to a pulp.
This shot was very sudden, beyond everyone''s expectations. With the whole audience screaming, the camera panned upward, and Esther was smiling, holding a **** stone in her hand.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy?" The eldest son was stunned.
"It can''t be saved. This is your responsibility. You should let it go. Since you don''t dare, I''ll help you..."
Esther stretched out a little hand, pointed upward, and smiled: "It is in heaven now!"
“…”
Like the eldest son, the whole audience was dumbfounded. This is not what they imagined. Isn''t this special girl from "Lolita"? !
And this unexpected turn made them very excited. The excellent atmosphere rendering and background music made everyone ups and downs, and officially entered the rhythm of suspense + thriller:
For example, Esther didn''t let Kate help her take a bath and had to lock the door. She always wore a ribbon around her neck and carried a Bible with her all day long. There was a picture of a man in the Bible - that was her former adoptive father. .
In school, she was bullied by Yuan Jieying.
Then when no one was paying attention, he pushed Yuan Jieying down from the upstairs and broke her leg...
She once again interrupted the male and female protagonist''s sex. Kate felt very embarrassed and went to explain it, hesitatingly saying: "Esther, listen to me... When adults love each other very, very much, they want to do this... When love is expressed, it will be expressed in a special way..."
“…”
The little girl looked at her indifferently and said, "I know, they fuck!"
There are English dialogues and Cantonese dialogues in the film. This sentence is said in English, which translates to "I know, they know how to fuck!"
Kate was also stunned.
"Hahaha!"
The scene burst into laughter, and at the same time, the emotions were immersed in it. Esther was surrounded by many doubts. What is her identity?
From here on, Esther officially enters the lives of the male and female protagonists. She often sneers at Kate, but is obedient to John. Kate has said it several times, but John still doesn''t believe it.
Because she already has symptoms of mental instability and has been taking medicine, this is also a pain point for the heroine.
