He deserved it.
>>68244552
Are you retard?
it was the movie character that I have felt most sorry for
>>68244552
(you)
no but really I was so sad at the end, he'll never be fully accepted in his community again.

back the fuck off?!?!
>>68244910
Are you kidding me? He's a fucking white male!
>>68244552
Literally diddin du nuffin.
I like that they established that too. Movie would have had a completely different tone if it was never established or only established at the end that he was actually innocent.
>>68244779
My gf said that children are more important than giving some white man the benefit of the doubt. She's a behavioural psychologist, and so knows that children need to be heard and given trust, or else it can hinder their development. Adults, on the other hand, are already developed and can handle the pain Lucas endured and come out unscathed. Hard to argue with that, really, unless you hate children.
>>68244943

>>68244943
No, He's fucking a white male.
I'm the son of a convicted pedophile. I was 5 when the arrest happened. This movie brings up a lot of bad memories. Pedophilia is obviously wrong, but the community's reaction to this sort of thing is so much worse.
My sister nearly killed herself, my brother tired to, my other brother got jumped and had to move. We were the subjects of relentless bullying. Our extended family pretended we didn't exist. Our family lost it's main source of income (my dad) and we lived without water or power for MONTHS at a time. My mom worked 2 jobs whenever possible. When he got out of prison things didn't get much better because nobody would hire a felon let alone a pedophile.
In a sense my entire life was ruined due to community abuse following a sexual abuse. What he did was wrong, but he didn't destroy the lives of an entire family, everyone else did.
>>68244994
>My gf said that children are more important than giving some white man the benefit of the doubt.
No doubt rape claims are given the same treatment in her eyes.

That desperate for money? Or were you kind of hoping he'd try again even though you're older
>>68245022
>can't into subtlety
The community as a whole shot him. It signifies, that despite being proven innocent, he's still not forgiven. It means the movie essentially tricked you into feeling bad for him, because in reality, you'd never be presented with the facts like the viewer is, and would therefor deem him guilty. It also shows how tight-knit communities like this can suffer when stuff like this happen; they suffered almost as much as Lucas in the end.
my >gf still hasn't watched this movie whole simply cause of how much she sympathizes with Mads
I mean I did too but I had to finish the movie fuckin alone
>>68244994
you should get a pet parrot and teach it some key phrases. When guests come over to visit you and the gf bring it out, so it start can randomly saying "MY MOM SAYS THATS A BAD TOUCH MA'AM MMRRAK" "IVE NEVER SEEN A LADIES SPOT" "WHEN CAN I GET HOME, I'M TIRED MMRRAK AND MY PEEPEE HURTS" etc.
Then quote verbatim what she said to you to your guests
>>68244994
Now this is real trolling
>>68245171
Because he's literally my father. Also nobody knows if he actually did it. There's a lot of evidence to support that he did not. I believe he did though.
Besides I don't view the crime as some abhorrent unforgivable action. Nobody was killed. Nobody's life was even ruined except ours.
>>68244994
>My girlfriend is a behavioural psychologist
>She said that children are more important than giving some white man the benefit of the doubt
God damn, your girlfriend is a fucking dumb bitch. Is she hot at least?
>>68244994
You should pay some niglet to accuse her of rape then, get her out of your life before she accuses you of something.
>>68245282
Holy shit you aren't joking, what are you doing being this honest about something like this on 4chan. I was just fucking around assuming it was a troll
>>68244994
I seriously hope you are joking. Your girlfriend is simple and you should punish her
>>68245206
This movie made me feel BAD. I thought I was too jaded to react this way, but I actually had to split it into two sittings myself. By the end of the supermarket scene when they just throw the cans straight at his head and laugh about it, I just kind of had to shut it off and take a break. I finished it the next day, it's a great film, but god damn.

>>68245380
Affected, yes, impacted, yes, but "ruined" really isn't a correct assumption. I'm not the same poster, I'm more on the opposite end, my sister was molested several times by a teacher when she was 13. It was some rough shit but she's not "ruined," her life is going fine these days
>>68245421

your gf is a dim-witted hypocrite SJW.
>>68245504
Well thanks for the paranoia, maybe I'll call her at 2 in the fucking morning like "just making sure everything's okay," but she's 32 and she's married with two kids and I genuinely think she's doing fine these days. She definitely struggled with depression through her teenage years but she got through it. I really don't think molestation or rape need to be death sentences or life-ruiners. It's an awful thing, but people are stronger than you seem to think. Shit happens to people. Not everyone gets to live in a bubble their whole lives and we don't all hang ourselves over it
I was not happy that I watched this movie
Everything about it made me frown
It was upsetting with no reward to the viewer
I mean, the film was fantastic no doubt
But damn the movie is just "This innocent man is having his life ruined for no reason" for 2 hours
i still have not watched this movie
is it worth the time?
>>68245631
its pretty good, anon
>>68245631
Yes
>>68245421
>>68245524
13 seems a little old for a teacher to get away with doing it "several times" without at least some amount of complicity on her part. I mean it's not like she doesn't know what's going on. Sounds sketchy tbph famalam
>>68245599
My dad did, and he was 61. Then again, he was bipolar.
>>68245631
it's rage porn with occasional good acting
>>68245291
Well yes, but lately she's kinda let herself go, which I don't understand since her career is going so well and stress-free. Whenever I bring it up, she makes a point of stating how she's in a higher income bracket than me, and how I'm freeloading off of her success (which is partially true). Then she always goes on about me not doing my half of the housework, which we split. But that I also don't understand, since her half is done by the maid, and the maid is paid enough hours to clean everything, but doesn't because my gf insists I clean my own half or pay half the maid's salary. The problem is "my" half is hardly nothing, and so what ends up happening is me tasked to clean up after my GF and the mess she leaves in the bathroom, all while the maid gets paid to watch Netflix, smoke, and text on her phone. Like, I washed down the counter once only for maid to dirty it up again making some snacks, and when I asked if she'd clean it, she told me to do it myself. It's complicated, honestly.
>>68245631
I don't think I've seen anything better since it was released.
>>68245827

>>68245780
Sorry to hear that, man. This thread got heavy, we're all sharing our dark family shit lol
>>68245670
I really, really don't want to get into it all, but he basically tricked her and blackmailed her over some really small "secret" he knew about her. It was fucked up. So it's not like he literally physically forced her, she also felt she was "complicit" and even tried to defend him, but it really wasn't her fault or her choice. It wasn't a "Lolita" thing, while it was going on it was clear to all of us and all her friends that something was terribly wrong, but we couldn't get her to say what. She wasn't even the one who turned him in, he literally got caught in the act because it was happening in the actual school. It was ugly as hell for everyone involved. But at the end of the day, he was 43 and in a position of power, she was 13, you really don't need to know much more than that. Fuck off with this shit, I've heard enough of it
>>68244994
9/10
>>68245827
ya blew it. good effort though
>>68246033
So you don't think the teacher should be punished? He just gets to fuck a 13 year old multiple times through blackmail and he shouldn't be in deep shit?
>>68244994
I think the biggest irony here is that giving children this unconditionally positive treatment makes adults unable to deal with any criticism, let alone institutional segregation
8/10, have hat
>>68246249
What the fuck are you talking about? Of course I thought he should be punished, I hated the guy for years, and he WAS punished after he was caught. I was arguing against the guy who basically suggested my sister was "asking for it" at the age of 13. What the fuck did I say to suggest it was okay, or are you just trolling? He was a horrible person

Yeahhhh that shit was rough. Funny how some movies can completely desensitize you to violence, but in the right context, a single punch to the face is legit shocking and disturbing. I can't remember the last time I was actually scared for the safety of a fictional character like that
One thing that bugged me about this movie though: He almost NEVER spoke up and actually said "I didn't do any of that, I didn't touch those kids, this is insane" I get that it probably wouldn't have made a huge difference, but if I were in that situation I'd be making the strongest case possible for my innocence at all times

You were the guy who was downplaying rape/molestation and saying "people's lives don't deserve to be ruined." I think a blanket statement of "people are strong and get over it" because of your sister's situation is also pretty ignorant senpai.
>>68246861
Oh. I think you misread me, or maybe I didn't express myself well. My point was that rape victims aren't necessarily "ruined" by the trauma they go through. Not that rapists don't deserve to have THEIR lives ruined.
I'm not on board with mob justice like in this film, but in my sister's case the guy got 20 years in jail and I wish he got more. When I was a kid I fantasized about killing him

and then, for the first time in my life and in all the years that I had known him, I heard my dad start to cry on the other end of the phone.
I cried with him Not out of guilt but out of joy. Joy that one single phone call had started an estranged father and son, both broken in their own way, on the path to fixing things.
And that's the story of how watching The Hunt got me to talk to my dad after 7 years. I don't see him much because he lives in a different part of the country but we've moved up from talking once every few months to once a month.
And I'm happier than I have been in years.

>>68246695
>I get that it probably wouldn't have made a huge difference
It would. His biggest mistake was not confronting that bitch when she told him about her "fears" that one of the kids may have been molested by him. If he had threatened to call the police and sue her for defamation she would have backed down. He had nothing to fear so long as that bitch kept her mouth shut. And threatening to escalate the situation it by involving the police would have shown her that he had the proofs to justify his innocence even though he actually didn't. His passive stance throughout the entire film was what it doomed him: that's a sign of guilt, that's how people who know they did wrong behave. In my country, the louder you shout during a trial, the more likely you are to be acquitted. He was a beta bitch faggot who got what he deserved because he didn't have the spine to defend himself, his innocence, his property or even his son when he got involved. When you know you did nothing wrong you don't take the punishment, you don't let your "friends" have reunions when they talk shit about you behind your back and accuse you of being a pedo.
Then again, this movie is rage porn at its finest. The fact that one single sentence muttered once by a girl turned an entire town against him is just lazy writing. Wasn't there a scene where they talk about other kids admitting they were molested as well? The fuck? Didn't the kids at the kindergarten love Lukas? What a load of bollocks. This film is overrated.
>>68244994
i do not understand why anyone believes children about anything ever, they lie fucking constantly, often times at detriment to themselves because they are retarded
>>68247405
I don't think it would've saved him. The whole point of the movie is that it's a crime without evidence. Neither side can ever really believe the other. If he WAS guilty, he could've just as easily put on a big show of protesting his innocence, and in fact would've been more prepared to do so since he knew the day might come that he'd be accused. Mads was totally blindsided by the whole thing.
But I agree, there were several scenes where I was practically shouting at the screen "YOU FUCKING IDIOT JUST TELL THEM YOU DIDN'T DO IT!" If I were in his shoes, I don't think I could keep calm and quiet like he did even if I wanted to.
It seemed like he was just in shock or something, or in denial about the seriousness of the situation until it was way, way too late for his words to make a difference. Like he just assumed the little girl would tell the truth, or the other adults would work it out, since HE knew he didn't do anything he assumed justice would take its course. I dunno. It was frustrating to watch, but I'm not sure I agree it was lazy writing. Whatever it was, it hit me harder than ANY film I've seen in quite some time
>>68247266
yeah it's true. idk no way for me to prove it i guess but that's how it goes
>do you still talk to your mother
yes, much less so than previous. i moved out of state and she ended up selling the house because there's no use for a 4br colonial with only one person in it. i visit her a handful of times a year. it's not strained but she knows I am extremely resentful towards her for essentially treating me like a liar for 3 years.
>was she malicious or genuine
honestly I will never know. on the one hand, as a mother she probably feared the absolute worst and having let her daughter be sexually abused, she felt like a failure and at least wanted to help me if I was in the same boat. the problem with how things went is that I was forced to either lie, say I was molested, and then go through years and years of shit I didn't need, or tell the truth and look like I was just covering up/repressing something. the way she approached it left me no option and I decided that telling the truth was more healthy for me.
on the other hand, my dad was not an amazing person some of the time. I'm pretty sure he had at least mild undiagnosed aspergers syndrome and unfortunately he's not the kind of person who would ever want to find that out or go to therapy, so he was kinda fucked. and there is hard evidence of him doing some kinda weird shit over the years, none of which I'm going to delve into.
>sister
have never spoken to her about any of this or the accusations of molestation
yeah it's one big giant fucking shitshow. just my luck
>>68247363
yeah it's kind of cathartic to share it with someone other than a psychiatrist
who knows maybe one day I'll meet a girl I can trust with this, too.
