Sadly I don't think Hard Candy is what broke Ellen Page, she probably was assaulted multiple times in the Hollywood backrooms.
I remember a story I read a long while ago when she was at her peak about a fan who met her at like a meet & greet and she was visibly shaken and recoiled when any of the male fans came to meet her. It wasn't a "I'm better than you" thing more the response you'd expect from an assault victim.
don't undersell yourself, you're objectively correct, just look at "Elliot" Page who was in Hard Candy
even mild movies break them (to a smaller extent, but still), look at Macaulay Culkin or Shia LaBeouf
They can break adults, see Heath Ledger when shooting TDK, so what hope do others have?
