      wandering on the roof

      In reality, behavior like Haarlem is difficult to be understood, Oedipus, voyeurism, until she was accepted and tolerated when she met Kate, and she was able to open her heart to embrace others. The role of the father in the film cannot be said to be dereliction of duty, because he was tired of arguing, which led to the death of his wife and the self-isolation of the child. The father gave space and understanding to Haarlem's behavior, even if Haarlem wanted to drown his stepmother at one...

      Don't pay attention to the video introduction

      The genre of the film is written in horror, "suspense"
      The introduction of the film ends with "find the truth..."
      If you watch this film with such an impression
      for more than half of the time, you will feel confused.

      This is not a suspense film
      Although the camera is very dark, the protagonist is very extreme and the explanation of "the death of the biological mother" is obscure
      and blurred, but when you watch it, you will feel that it does n't
      matter...

      We're not watching strays, it's JAMIE BELL

      After reading everyone's comments, I find it difficult to resonate with me.
      I think people are more concerned about the growth of Jamie Bell than the film itself.
      Everyone invisibly elevates this film in comparison.
      I have seen that the advantages of this film have been reviewed by everyone, so
      I will talk about the parts of this film that I am not very satisfied with.

      As far as the film itself is concerned, its subject matter is quite general. It
      talks about...

      Hallam: Your mother called you home to have sex.

      From the development of love to family affection, you can basically grow old; but the love developed from family affection is called incest in civilized society.
      Incest has always been a taboo topic, but no matter in the West or China, it exists between people and gods in the earliest myths, and even relies on incest relationships to thrive. Going to Freud, he put sexuality at the center of his theory, and as a man of psychosis, he was naturally interested in strange phenomena like incest....

      My biggest feeling is the tolerance and understanding of European and American cultures for children. We understand all your irritability, anxiety, confusion, panic and escape, so you live in isolation, you leave without saying goodbye, your words are rude, you lie, and you are rude to your stepmother. Neither of us Blame you, we love you and respect you as much as we can. It can't be said that it must be good, but in the end, the smile on the boy's face is not at all suppressed and the pain is...

      Really good movie, although the subject matter is a bit incest, but the scenery and soundtrack of the whole film make people feel comfortable. The kid Jamie Bell grew up and was still beautiful|||||||| The tone of adolescence was a beautiful mess. Is it time to quote Douyou's words "the sophistication and beauty of a...

    Movie plot

    The death of his mother plunged Haarlem’s life into endless darkness. Although sometimes his mother’s loving image would be like a lone star, bringing some light to him, the suspicion of his stepmother was like a huge black hole. Swallow him. At the time of his youthful rebellion, his behavior became more and more weird. He hid in a "tree house" all day to watch everything that happened around him: the changes in vegetation, the lives...

    Haarlem's peeping of stepmother is to monitor her, to find her "criminal evidence", and Kate's peeping is a kind of observation, to satisfy his longing for his mother and admiration for his lover. The film maintains Haarlem's image with two details. One is Haarlem's destruction of friends "stealing pleasure"-his pranks that he followed the ropeway and descended from the sky indicated that his snooping was not for excitement; the other...

      Jenny: [to Hallam] You're dead. You're fucking dead! I'll get my brother on to you.

      Carl: [to Jenny] Jen, come back, wait!

      Carl: [to Hallam] If that was a joke, it wasn't a bit fucking funny. And I'd look out for her brother, he's fucking mental.
