Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a thriller-comedy film: "The Columnist"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins with a feminism columnist, Femke, being interviewed on a television show
The host begins with a question if the social media platform Twitter, is a curse or a blessing
Femke addresses her concern about how everyone hates her for voicing a different opinion,
when everyone should be accepting her different opinions
Along with the interview is Steven, an author who disagrees with her point
After the interview, Femke reads hate comments about her on Twitter before bed
She then decides to leave Twitter once and for all
The following day, Femke meets the publisher, who's choosing her portrait for her book
The publisher asks why she didn't promote her book in the interview;
but she reasons there's no book of hers to promote
The publisher tells her that it's all in the mindset to write something,
and gives her a week to write the first chapter
Femke reads her column about politics that caused an uproar online in her home's kitchen
her daughter joins her at the table, who reads and compliments Steven's well-written book
Afterward, Femke hears a vibration outside her house,
revealing her greasy neighbor, Mr Fatty, collecting boxes and woods on his truck,
who waves his hand upon seeing her
Femke returns to her empty first chapter draft,
staring at the screen' while Mr Fatty's hammering booms outside
Despite the approaching deadline, she checks Twitter,
and sees her farewell tweet still bombarded with insults and hate
Afterward, she meets her friend in an apparel shop,
advising her to write columns accustomed to women instead, and keep out of politics
Her friend adds she should ask for police assistance, rather than a television show
So next, she does visit the police station,
to report the hate and death threat messages she receives
However, the police officer on the desk belittles her concern,
and even comments that everything sent to her is merely fictional and childish
Meanwhile, the daughter's school headmaster calls her into his office,
to address her usage of profane words in the school newspaper
However, the daughter bravely responds that his actual concern is the content,
because she insults the headmaster's plans for the school, and not profanity
Because of that, the headmaster removes her from the school newspapers' editorial team
At home, the daughter shares with her mother her plan to initiate a "freedom of speech"
awareness event at school
But Femke responds that it's too old-school, which angers her daughter,
because she intends to address the risks and dangers experienced by writers in Russia, Turkey,
and the Philippines on the internet for expressing their thoughts
She angrily leaves, but returns eventually to ask her mother to bring her to school,
because her bike broke
On route, Femke asks her daughter if there's bullying in her school
the daughter remembers throwing a rock at a boy,
but Femke comments that the boy deserves it, because he's a prick
the daughter is surprised by her mother's words and calls her out
but Femke continues insulting the boy
After dropping off her daughter, Femke buys goods in the grocery, while rereading tweets about her
Upon grabbing a tomato sauce, she sees a tweet calling her sexual insults,
causing her to drop the sauce in shock,
for the account owner is none other than her next-door neighbor, Mr Fatty
She stares at the sauce, and comes up with something sinister
Upon arriving home, she greets Mr Fatty, who's fixing the fences between their houses
It's late night; and Femke accompanies her friend to the apparel shop, serving Gin and Tonic
She comes across Mr Fatty's tweet, containing hate comments about her
She downs two glasses of liquor, and returns home afterward
She stares at the finished fences, and wrecks them with her ax
The following day, Mr Fatty sees the broken fence,
and doorbells to her house, informing her someone wrecked their fence,
which she pretentiously acts oblivious about
He then gives her a leftover ham; but she trashes it the moment she's alone
Femke attempts another try to write her chapter
but she idles on Twitter again
She finds Mr Fatty's tweet,
with a subtle message that he knows that she's the one who broke the fence
On the roof, Mr Fatty fixes the roof's rim; and she decides to exit from her house's skylight
She carefully walks the edge, and pushes off his fat muscles on the edge
Mr Fatty lies dead on the ground, his blood spilling with diabetes
She grabs a shovel, mutilates his middle finger, and hides it
After her horrendous crime, she enthusiastically writes her book's first chapter
The following day, she happily prepares pancakes for her daughter, and even gifts her a camera
With the use of the camera, the daughter photographs her friend,
and creates a poster for her event in the library
Femke joins her, and compliments the poster
She then offers to do a speech at her event, which the daughter happily accepts
the daughter then plasters the finished posters in school;
and the headmaster summons her into his office again, to ask what the poster is all about
but she clarifies it's about freedom of speech issues,
faced by other countries and not the school newspaper
Meanwhile, Femke attends a book launch
She comes across the publisher, and jokes that she must be allergic to books,
because she gets headaches after book launches
She then approaches Steven among the audience,
and calls him out for being unfriendly to her in the previous interview
but Steven explains that he only attended the show to promote his book
They even brag about who's more cynical than the other
After the event, Femke returns home with Steven; and they get busy in bed
The following day, the two enjoy breakfast together;
and the daughter is shocked to see the author Steven
but she leaves quickly after getting food in the kitchen
After their confirmed relationship, Steven becomes a frequent hormone visitor
Femke's daughter and Steven bond too, where they watch movies together
Then sometimes, Steven and Femke write together in her office
Femke glances at Steven, who writes uninterruptedly
She then visits her women column article online, and reads the comment section
She finds a comment saying they should skewer her on a beach
but Steven stops him from reading further
so she copies the account name first, then exits the site
Later that night however, Femke stalks the name she copied earlier,
and decides to pay the account owner a visit
She quietly enters the house; and the account owner is a curly-haired man, nick-named Explode-Hair
He's cooking, but takes a toilet break
When Explode-Hair returns, he's surprised to see Femke at his house
Femke then asks if his girlfriend would love receiving death threats,
like his comment in her article
Explode-Hair admits he won't do it to his girlfriend,
because she doesn't write stupid feminist articles
The statement triggers Femke; and so, she chokes him with a scarf
Explode-Hair struggles to grab the knife; but his hand only crashes to the pan; and he breaks free
Femke tells him that he insulted the wrong woman,
and slams the hot pan on his face, but spares his exploding hair
She then mutilates his middle finger, and hides it in her freezer upon arriving home
The following day, Femke successfully finishes another chapter, inspired by last night's crime
While in the school, the daughter hangs a banner that degrades the king,
and promotes freedom of speech
Meanwhile, Femke grocery shops with Steven, who compliments her article
Then they eat dinner outside,
where Femke agrees with Steven that everyone has undoubtedly suppressed violent urges
But for Femke, it's about suppressed hatred to others,
that sometimes can be released in a violent way
It's late at night; and Femke struggles to write another chapter again;
while Steven and her daughter watch news in the living room, about a man killed by a frying pan
Femke then searches Twitter,
and finds an account named "Bosskabouter," claiming that Femke is a pedophile
Under the tweet, there is a keyboard warrior like "Daniel cc Movie",
who agrees with Bosskabouter's tweet
Once again, Femke acquires a new victim,
and leaves her family a note, saying she's heading to the grocery
but she actually visits her next victim
She brings a bag filled with gardening tools, then finds her next victim in the bath,
while rapping the intro song from Danil CC movie Channel
Femke confronts him; but he immediately apologizes upon recognizing her,
saying all the tweets are harmless jokes, and promises he'll stop for he's a kind man
She smiles, pretending she accepts the apology, and walks towards the door,
when she suddenly grabs and drops the playing laptop onto the bathtub,
electrocuting the keyboard warrior, and then mutilates his middle finger
She returns home, hides the severed middle finger,
and successfully finishes another chapter again in her good mood
Femke continues this sinister method to acquire ideas in her book
She murders not one, not two; but three more people who insult her on Twitter
She then lays down eight mutilated fingers on a ground of peas
New Year's Day passes soon; and Femke happily celebrates it with Steven and her daughter
Femke returns home late one night, and finds Steven waiting by the door
She hides her bloody hands from him, as he confronts if she's cheating on him,
which she denies and assures him that there's no one she loves but him
As a sign of reconciliation, Steven embraces him;
and she immediately fronts her bloody hands to hide them from him
The following day, Femke meets the publisher,
who shows her threat mail to boycott the publishing house,
if they didn't terminate the contract with Femke
The mail is becoming rampant,
after Femke's article released years ago is brought up on Twitter,
revealing her relationship with a 16-year-old boy when she was still 19
Despite the threats, the publisher asks if it's okay with Femke
to add some portions of the threats at the back of the book,
to stir up controversy on the internet
It's late at night;
and the daughter makes another banner for school,
because the headmaster removed her previous banner that used profanity
Femke then helps her paint the new banner, but repeatedly calls the headmaster a prick
The following day, the daughter showcases the second banner, and heads to school
Femke, who's through with the headmaster's interference in her daughter, wants to kill him
So she visits her daughter's school, and follows the headmaster to his house
She exits her car, with a knife in hand;
but stops on her track, upon seeing the headmaster embrace his lovely daughter
So she returns to her car, dumps her gardening bag tools beside her,
and throws a tantrum on the steering wheel, because she can't believe what she's thinking
Femke writes her next chapter at home, when the daughter says there are police looking for her
They visit her because they receive a call, reporting a child hostage hidden by Femke
She clarifies it's all made up
The officers then ask if an enemy of hers must've done it
Femke then recalls a Twitter account Bosskabouter,
that leads an army of trolls, who intend to destroy her name
One of the police officers mentions something different; but she hears "Tarik" instead
After the police's visit, Femke searches the internet for "Tarik"
but there's nothing found, until Steven knocks on the door to offer her food, startling her
She almost shouts at him, and apologizes afterward to him
Meanwhile, the daughter finds Femke's bag filled with bloody gardening tools,
and takes a photo of it with her camera
The following day, the daughter speculates that Steven owns the bloody tools, and not her mother
Later that night, the news reports the commonality in all the deaths for the past few months,
which is that the killer mutilated the middle finger after killing them
therefore, the internet names the series of murders, "the middle finger murders"
The following day, Femke returns to her study room to continue her writing;
but she's out of ideas again
The interest in the name "Tarik", piques her urge; so she searches Facebook, but there's nothing
She then browses her article about soups, and reads to find her next victim in the comments
After finding one, she hastily bids goodbye, and excuses to buy groceries for tomorrow
Before she leaves, Steven warns her to stay away from Twitter
Afterward, Femke goes to her toolshed, and finds her bag of tools gone on the shelf
so she grabs the chisel instead
She then travels to an isolated house in the woods;
and she finds there lives her next victim, an old man with a dying mustache
Mr Dying Mustache exits his house; and Femke immediately sticks the chisel on his neck
Femke binds and confronts him where his computer is
but he only spits on her
So she searches for it alone, but Mr Dying Mustache manages to escape,
and tells his wife to call for the police while setting up his shotgun
Femke then finds Mr Dying Mustache gone; so she searches for him outside
Suddenly, Mr Dying Mustache appears behind with his dying mustache,
and hits the shotgun's butt on her head
He thinks Femke is knocked out,
but she unexpectedly swipes the chisel on his chick neck, but spares his mustache
The shotgun falls to the ground; and she grabs it immediately
but he runs his smelly mustache to the woods for life
Upon chasing Mr Dying Mustache, Femke receives a call from her daughter,
because she promised to partake in a speech; but she only hangs up
Inside the house, Mr Dying Mustache's wife calls the police, while Femke chases after him
Meanwhile, Steven volunteers to give the speech instead, since Femke is not around;
but the daughter declines his offer, and decides she'll do it herself
The speech tackles that not everyone in the world can freely practice freedom of speech,
because there are writers in different countries,
who suffer from hate when they voice a different opinion
The thing is freedom of speech is a right and not a privilege;
and they can't silence someone who wants to voice out an opinion
While the daughter gives the speech,
simultaneously occurring is Femke shoots down Mr Dying Mustache in the woods
Her killings prove her written speech is true to her actions,
because she chose to permanently silence the people, who threw hateful comments at her
Femke escapes, as the sirens of the police cars ring nearby
When she's home, the daughter is mad at her for missing her speech,
and decides she'll stay at her biological father's house
The following day, she avoids the internet,
strolls outside the fields, and buys an old-looking phone
She tries to reach her daughter, and tells her about the book launch
but the daughter dismisses them
Then later at her home, Femke finds a letter, with a message that they know her secret
but she dumps it in the trash
Steven then meets Femke, strolling on the street
He shows her a comment from her article;
and among the comments, she finally finds Tarik, the keyboard master
That night, Femke is tempted to check her smartphone,
while Steven finds the letter that Femke dumps in the bin,
and compares the handwriting in the daughter's bedroom; and it matches
The following day, Femke and Steven are in the kitchen,
when the daughter unexpectedly returns home to visit her book launch
Then, Femke wears an all-white outfit,
and brings a shotgun from her previous victim to finally meet Tarik
Meanwhile, the daughter confronts Steven, with printed newspapers as proof of his killings
Steven cooks as he listens to her claims, and grabs a box of flour from the fridge
The two go quiet, as they realize that it's actually Femke,
who murdered all of the keyboard warriors;
and the proofs sit inside the box floor, filled with severed fingers
The movie ends with Femke arriving at Tarik's house
She shoots down the man who opens the door
but she's surprised to see that it's actually Tarik's father;
and the ultimate keyboard master, Tarik, is only a teen
He cries like a baby, as he apologizes for his hate comments about her,
and reasons it's all simply harmless jokes
But Femke is through with it, and shouts that he deserves to die,
because his slanderous accusations online caused her too much pain
When she's about to let him go, Steven arrives, which startles and triggers her to shoot Tarik
Steven says that no one deserves to die, which angers Femke
As the daughter takes a photograph of Femke's souvenir mutilated fingers,
Femke attends her book launch, while covered with Steven's blood;
and the audience doesn't speculate her being a murderer;
but instead, applauds her bloodstained white outfit as a statement, that matches her book cover
Right then, she grabs a drink and her newly published book from the publisher,
climbs the stairs, and toasts, "Here's to life "
