      I just don't know what to say to you

      There's a scene in the movie where he struggles to grab his mother's hand

      want to stop her

      I don't want to get into the thoughts of the director or the screenwriter or the hero at that moment

      And I just thought of

      Mom, don't get married

      if you are not married

      you won't marry a man who will disappoint you in the future

      there will be no me

      Unlike the protagonist in the film,

      I hardly quarrel with my mother

      We are just like two...

      special soul

      Unfortunate families of origin often create unique souls.

      Yubo is that unique soul. Since childhood, he has been dependent on his mother, lacking fatherly love, and his mother is incompetent. Such a poor family of origin has created a melancholy, fragile, ego and talented soul. Maybe it is this kind of family that makes Yubo feel lonely since he was a child, loneliness makes people think, loneliness makes people sober, so Yubo has an eye to see things in the world, can write poems that...

      Recommended for people with discordant parent-child relationship to watch

      " Most people think it's a sin to hate their mother, and they're hypocritical. " The actor Hubert in "I Killed My Mother" monologues, the film won three awards at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009, the director , screenwriter, and starring are Javier Dolan, who was less than 20 years old at the time. The film tells the story of a 16-year-old high school boy, Hubell, and his mother, Shantar, who fell in love and hurt each other. Such a common theme is...

      I love me, I hate me, never stop

      Trigger again. The pain of the original family is that I have no right to choose, and I am forever trapped in the prison of morality and the bondage of blood, and I am ashamed and hated at the same time. Hubert and his mother are two extremes. He is sensitive and slender, he loves poetry, painting, photography, and has all the necessary qualities of an elegant literary youth; while his mother wears rustic clothes, talks with three aunts and six grandmothers, and loves watching soap operas....

      Nothing is "unconditional"

      The word "family" is too broad: it's narrowly meant to represent all of us related by blood, but it's broad enough to require us to care and love them unconditionally, even if sometimes we really can't be that "unconditional."

      I really like Dolan because he's who I most want to be when I'm 20.

      This movie is like a comedy. It is not depressing, but rather...

      Parents protected and nurtured you when you were weak, and hurt you in their own way, especially when they wanted you to never grow up and be controlled by them forever as their marionette. They are unhappy and unpleasant, and they don't know how to make others...

      163 is a little green but also full of talent. The first half is basically a stack of some trivial things in life, and the second half is very good. Personally, I think the slow motion is a bit too much, and some parts are a bit like the MV, but Dolan was only 19 years old when he made this film... It's really more popular than...

      Twenty-year-old Dolan has made such a film, and twenty-year-old we still can't find our way. Yesterday, I saw Akira Kurosawa wrote in his autobiography, minus the movies, my life is probably zero. And in my life, I want too much and I don’t know what I want. It’s probably zero in...

    The sixteen-year-old Hubert ( Xavier Dolan ) has divorced his parents for many years, and he and his mother Shantar ( Anne Dorval ) depend on each other. They can no longer chat as cordially as in the past, and the two become more and more difficult to communicate. Accompanying the mother and son is a seemingly endless confrontation, and the distance between the two is getting farther and farther. Full of pain and contradictions in his...

    Evaluation action

    The film is slightly autobiographical in nature, the plot is complete, the emotional handling is delicate, and the performance of the handsome male protagonist amazes the audience. The film is hard to hide traces of imitation: the soundtrack and the use of slow motion remind the audience of Wong Kar-Wai, and the occasional flashbacks and subjective shots are a little abrupt   .

    In the film, Anne Dorval...
