This is a movie that WebTech360 only knows to use 2 words to describe. That is the tragedy. Do you suspect that just because a naive lie of a child who does not know what is happening can ruin the life of a true teacher. To know the story of this story, WebTech360 would like to invite you to read the review of The Hunt movie (2012) below.

Story: Lucas is a high school teacher but due to the closing of the school, he returns to work as a babysitter for a kindergarten in a small country in Denmark - where everyone lives peacefully and close together. . Lucas has a very close friend right next door to his house and Klara - his daughter is also taught by Lucas himself at the school. In one angry teacher, Klara told the principal that Lucas had sexually abused the baby, leaving Lucas's life in abyss with the alienation and discrimination of everyone around.

Before going into the movie review, we need to distinguish this film from the movie of the same name that WebTech360 reviewed not long ago - The Hunt (2020) . In fact, in the history of cinema, there are many movies with the same name and The Hunt is one of them. The movie The Hunt (2012) and The Hunt (2020) are completely different, guys. Simply understand that the version we are reviewing is Denmark produced and the 2020 survival killer movie is made by the US .

Listen to WebTech360 briefly introduce the plot of the film, you will surely feel an invisible motivation to watch the movie to understand the tail and see what will come to Mr. Lucas, right? ? The story of the film is not stressful, dramatic with epic battles or action, but instead is a very simple story, seemingly very small, but leads to a terrible, cruel but very consequences. life.

We often believe that children are innocent and they don't lie. We also think that in cases of sexual abuse or pedophilia in schools the victims are innocent children. However, the beauty of The Hunt (2012) is to reverse the above thoughts to bring a more multidimensional view of an event that we have never thought of before.

In the story of The Hunt (2012) , there is really no one right or wrong. Many of you will blame little Klara, but what she said is just a naive lie, just a very normal moment of anger of a little girl at the stage of understanding the outside world. She also repeatedly affirmed that the words he said were not the truth, but the adults in the movie denied it. When the lie is enough, it will come true. That philosophy has actually been successfully tested in this movie.

We must see The Hunt (2012) , we can see how miserable teacher Lucas is when the world turns his back on him. He did not do anything wrong but did not know how to justify the world? The conscience of a good teacher did not allow him to blame his innocent student. If Lucas was a little less humane, WebTech360 thought he could become a joker like Arthur Fleck because bad things kept coming up, cornering him.

The producers of this movie are also quite "evil" to the character of Lucas when he gives him hope and then cruelly trampled it, making viewers also feel compassion and pity for him. It is hard to find anything to disparage the plot of the film, but perhaps the somewhat dazzling ending can make many viewers feel unsatisfactory and satisfied.

The story that The Hunt (2012) also contains a lot of messages behind the outstanding lie story of the film. Nothing is sustainable forever, even if it's a peaceful community, everyone treats each other well. It also shows us a measure of friendship, giving viewers a thought about whether the people who are close to us in the present, will one day turn their backs on us? Thanks to so many meanings, the new film is highly appreciated at international awards ceremonies. WebTech360 marks this section 7.5 out of 10 .

Image - sound: This part of the film is as simple as the context in which the movie puts its story in. The feeling of watching the first scenes of The Hunt (2012) is really peaceful but a bit uncomfortable, as if there is an omen of a bad future for the main character. The movie prefers to choose close-to-face angles to truly reveal the characters' emotions, combined with the sad sound, making the viewer feel like they are experiencing what the shoulder lines are suffering. . WebTech360 scores this 7.5 / 10 .

Acting: The two roles that leave the most impression on viewers of The Hunt (2012) can only be Lucas teacher played by Mads Mikkelsen and little Klara played by Annika Wedderkopp . It's hard to get angry at Klara's innocence through Annika's cute acting, but it's not easy to fall in love with her. For Mads, he really excelled in the character, bringing pain, humiliation, but also full of reason for the role. Many of you have finished watching this movie officially understand the reason why he eats people and has the nickname Hannibal . WebTech360 scores the acting 8.5 / 10 .

Assessment scale:

IMDB: 8.3 / 10 (260,531 ratings)

Metascore: 77/100

Rotten Tomatoes: 83/100 (Fresh Tomato)

In short ,  The Hunt (2012) is a film that gives the audience a strange feeling about a problem that not many people have thought about. The name of the movie is more figurative than its literal meaning, but in fact The Hunt is very naked, cruel and entirely possible. Actually, therewas a similar incidentin Korea, but the ending is much more tragic. Find and watch the movie to have a more multidimensional view.

And you, how do you rate this movie?
