      red and black

      The beginning is the bright red Spanish tomato carnival, the crowd, the bursting tomato pulp, the depressing music, the heart has been tugging.
      The dry body of the mother, the scattered pills, the beautiful little girl turning her head and the missing eyes, the terrifying cry, made people feel uncomfortable
      . The face in the water perfectly coincides with Kevin, which indicates what, Kevin is the continuation of the mother, sensitive , Brave, unyielding and obedient
      from...

      I think the husband in the movie has a lot of responsibility

      The mother has postpartum depression at a glance, the baby's cry and other things that normal people see as unreasonable to happen to the baby are invisible pressure and burden to the mother. Maybe she wasn't ready in the first place, just mechanically imitating the actions a mother should have. But she didn't realize that she subconsciously had feelings of resistance to this new life.
      But the husband didn't realize what was wrong with his wife, and just said "it's nothing". When the wife...

      "What Happened to Kevin"

      Children are an unfinished debt, and parents are an inescapable catastrophe.

      Eva is not an irresponsible mother, but she became a mother when she was not ready, and her doubts and contradictions became the eternal shadow of sensitive Kevin, which turned into doubts and contradictions about his own existence; and what Kevin did For not only to prove his presence, in the habit of accumulating over time, he can only arouse her attention and concern by torturing and hurting Eva....

      Why did Kevin later say he didn't know?

      Evn brought Kevin into this world

      without any

      preparation I was very impressed with the scene where the

      child

      found a silent Evn on the construction site when he couldn't stand the cry of

      the child 's

      love and care he gave to his sister when he was a sister was completely different from everything he treated to K before. K would not

      like her sister because she had taken the position of the whole family as...

      what happened to kevin and mother

      There is something wrong with both of them. From the perspective of the mother and son's family, excluding external factors, the son is too extreme and has a disease in his heart. From his clean and simple room, there is no superfluous content. Killing is like living with himself. My father and sister, who had been there for many years, obediently obeyed the law after a good show of a massacre at the school, got into the police car and looked back at their mother's expression, but they only...

      A is going to say I'm sexiest again, but seriously. . . Only women can write and film this kind of plot. I'll go. . . No spoilers, but those who don't like boring films should be careful. . . ps. Children are scary. pps. Self-righteousness is so fragile. ppps. So the final destination is still how great a mother's love is. Does it take time to...

      Thriller! Like "The Elephant" or "2h37", the breathless tension. The presentation of the film is simplistic, trying to tell us what the devil does. In fact, the tragedy certainly can't be blamed on one person... This movie tells us that if you're not ready to have a child, you must not suffer through weakness. Then, the most bearable is always the role of women with reproductive ability. This society has yet to...

      Is it because I always like to substitute my emotions into too heavy movies, and feel that no matter how much I care about the words and how much I care about seeing that parallel universe, no amount of indirect care can equal a hug and a kiss. The straightforward words really make me feel comfortable. It seems that I've been wrong in expressing for 20 years. The person is a sensory animal. All five senses and six senses can convey information. I knew it when I was...

      The performance is good, but the explanation of why the child became a demon is too far-fetched and...

    Movie plot

    Eva ( Tilda Swinton ) is a professional woman who dreams of traveling the world, but her sudden marriage and unexpected pregnancy make her give up her ideals and become a housewife. However, her sacrifice only brought disappointment. As a child, Kevin (Jasper Newell) was not a worry-free child. He cried endlessly and was indifferent to his mother's care. For such a child, Eva would inevitably abandon herself a little bit. Soon, the...

    Make the background

    The film is adapted from the novel of the same name written by Lionel Sirif in 2003. In 2005, the BBC bought the copyright to the novel, and Christine Langan and others began preparations. The film director Lynn Ramsey took over the film after finishing the adaptation of the film "Lovely Bones". However, the author himself was dissatisfied with the adaptation of the script and denied the original creative team. In 2008, the addition of...

    Evaluation action

    The focus of the film is not the campus tragedy, its tragedy is just the extreme performance result of a short-circuit between mother and child. The director did not take the study of the roots of school violence as the theme of the film. More, through Kevin's 16-year-old life show and his mother's confrontational relationship, he revealed little by little the psychological and emotional evolution of mother and child from the birth of...

    Movie quotes

    • Kevin: [Eva walks into the dining room, pleased to see that Kevin has changed into clothes more appropriate for his age - but then he turns around with a humorless grin and her mouth drops open in disgust when she sees that he is gnawing on a whole chicken, getting it all over his face] ... What? I was hungry!

      [laughs wickedly]

      Kevin: I'm a "growing boy".

    • Eva: So daddy and mommy were looking for him the whole night. And you know why we couldn't find him? Because Snuffles has gone to live in the garden! He's living in the garden now, with a whole bunch of new animal friends! So, they're having a big party tonight... with the chipmunks, and the squirrels, and the coons and they're eating nuts and berries...

      [suddenly Eva realizes in confusion that the water isn't properly draining down the sink because something is clogging it, implied to be Snuffles the guinea pig. Eva pours drain cleaner down the sink to corrode the "clog"]

    • Colin: You wanna dance?

      Eva: No thanks, Harland.

      Colin: Come on, just one!

      [Mr. Harland playfully waves his Styrofoam reindeer antler headband around to try to get her to smile]

      Eva: [laughing timidly] No really, I don't dance.

      Colin: [Mr. Harland's demeanor changes abruptly and he leans in close to whisper something in her ear] Where do you get off, you stuck-up bitch? Do you think anybody else even wants you now?

      [Eva, looking forlorn, stands up and leaves the Christmas party]
