Would you consider this movie to still be about...

... child abuse as such, including of that nature, even IF, SPOILERS ALERT - it deals strictly with an adult who was mistakenly accused of being the perpetrator of such a deed, and had to suffer social and communal consequences himself as a result?

And can you watch this movie well as a movie anyways with either factor in mind?

Also, I have read online, controversies on this film don't quieten down even in spite of its acclaim, that people who may watch it and say do so wrongly and they may get told in an argument - "You've just watched a film about a horrifying child abuse" - even though this movie is strongly about a false accusation as such.

And once again, even knowing that, can this movie be judged thematically strictly on its own? Granted, everyone I am sure knows even without "The Hunt" in existence how on its own, for very direct reasons, serious and awful such issue of child abuse as such is, but a film that dares for a moment to look at the opposite aspect (in ways we say know murder is terrible yes, but films have been made about people wrongly or mistakenly accused of being murderers, in cases where a murder may or may not have happened, you get the drift) that may also have happened, in however small amounts, that doesn't make it wrong, that doesn't mean a movie is selfishly denying harsh and typical common reality or is being insensitive in any way alone, right?

(Also, for all the talks about social consequences for victims even child ones of such abuse as well as presence of fear in them in "reporting" perpetrators, I myself even without having knowledges of those aspects fully ALREADY knew how terrible, "taboo" and sensitive this issue is in direct cases, through word of mouth and angry talks about various ways people feel "unpleasantness" towards the perps as such. Of course, I also knew that murder ends one's LIFE too.)

Also, some viewers have argued that to some extent, albeit not s-ally ala with an actual child molester, the young girl Klara, even though she made a mistake by saying what she did after hearing her brother's friend say those things, was also in a way a victim and that what her friend also did with that ipad can be considered abuse. That may indeed be true to an extent, yes, but its also not to the same degree as the actual child molestation act is in the way, right? Although its still wrong and yes he should've been confronted for it.

And I know its a touchy issue but still... And I have read some people after this movie say they dislike kids and whatnot, but for one, wasn't it the adults who both handled the situation poorly and later victimised Lucas undeservedly for it with threats and acts of physical violence? And THIS movie for one WASN'T trying to deliver a message on any order of "look at how bad and wrong kids can be", right? So its like, some viewers also got this movie's message wrong as well. But anyways...

Personally, I think its a little bit of that but mostly a movie about wrongful accusation and what consequences it may lead and how in an overall big picture it is also unhelpful but in its own way.
