I recently watched this movie on Youtube and I loved it so much, despite the fact that I initially got interested just because I admire Kristen Stewart since twilight. But after I watched it, I got new perspective of life. The movie is about a freshman named Melinda Sordino who got raped by her senior in summer party. After the incident, she called police but couldn't speak any words about it. Therefore, all of her friends called her squeaker and isolated her. In the entire movie, she struggled to get her voice back. In the end, she could defeat her rapist and get her voice back.
I think it is a good one since the message that it brings is very grounded, about to get your own voice. Sometimes, my mind wandered to my early puberty age, as a social creature, we just love to blend to system which Conrad defined as The Knitting Machine. Living in safe anonymity, without even being noticed, denying our true identity, as long as you dont have to be different, as if it is something repulsive. The Knitting Machine can be anything, your peers, your social environment, or else which forcing you to be just like them. Like Melinda in beginning of movie who couldnt say a word about her rape just because she doesnt want to be different. Again, what is wrong to being different if being same like anybody will hurt you to the bottom.
Now, it is your turn. Do you want to be the same like other and kill you own self? Or say out loud to the world, Here me, I am different!
