other title: 怒焰狂花 / 双面天使
《怒焰狂花》记录了性虐待对一个叫做贝思的小女孩所产生的可怕影响。该片主要由一个临床医生采访贝思的一些简短片段组成,我们从贝思自己和摄制组所作的额外研究中了解到,贝思在很小的时候就遭到亲生父亲的强暴和冷落。这使得贝思患上了反应性依恋障碍—一种精神疾病,在这个案例中,这种精神疾病的很多情况都与社会变态差不多,虽然两者的根源完全不同。贝思毫无同情心,也缺乏与他人交往的能力——这其实是她想要逃离过去而产生的本能反应。片中,小女孩承认,她常残忍地折磨她的弟弟和小动物,有时还对他们施行性虐待,并且公然漠视他人的权利和社会规范—其中包括别人的生命权利。听一个小孩说她的愿望是杀了她的父母,而且还想杀了她的弟弟,这不免让人有点辛酸。《怒焰狂花》揭露了这样一个事实,即一个天真的小女孩如何在遭受虐待以后变成了一个冷血麻木的杀人狂。该片在最后表达了这样一个愿景,如果在小女孩还很小的时候,她的反应性依恋障碍能得到有效治疗,那么结果就会截然相反——小女孩的良心会被重新唤醒,就不会过着行尸走肉般的生活。贝思最后一次接受采访的时候,失声痛哭,悔恨过去的自己竟是那副模样,你看到这儿也会潸然泪下。
