What's wrong with Kevin? I heard this movie a long time ago, Miller's handsome, the Queen's indomitable, looking forward to their cooperation.
After watching it, I feel that it is a movie that allows the audience to "have something to say". What does it show us? Broken clips, interspersed memories, eye-catching colors, and strange soundtracks, I am amazed at the performances of the actors, and I feel more distressed for these lonely people. After watching the movie, the biggest feeling is: what happened to Kevin? This problem is obvious, he is normal, but he desperately longs to be loved, to be loved by the people he cares about. Many people have analyzed that he has autism, social barriers, and Oedipus complex. Well, it cannot be denied that there is one point, but this is not the most important thing. If you look at Kevin's growth process, maybe you will agree with this point of view.
First of all, Kevin's arrival was a proper accident. The heroine has absolutely no plans to be a mother, so
Many people talk about the scene of playing ball.
We can see how hard she is trying to be a mom. But Kevin just didn't cooperate, his eyes clearly understood his mother's actions and instructions, but he just didn't obey, his eyes were angry, as if blaming his mother for not giving him what he wanted. What does he want? Press first without mentioning.
here! The doctor said he didn't have any obvious symptoms, so it also confirmed my belief that Kevin was actually a normal child.
It turned out that he didn't understand his mother's words at all. He did it once, and his mother was ecstatic. This expression really makes me feel distressed. The heroine really wants to be a good mother. She may want to try to make up for the fault that she was not prepared before, but she doesn't know how much Kevin hates her in her heart, so she is in Kevin. In front of him, he is always patient and forbearance. The son does not correct his mistakes, or corrects too much (Kevin broke his arm), making the already sensitive Kevin think that his mother does not love him, so he has been rebellious and has been in front of his mother in every possible way. Make things difficult.
There are times when the heroine is tired. But my mother is not a superman, and it is normal for her to complain. The tone in the movie has risen to the point of anger. I admit that it is a bit too much, but it cannot be judged that the heroine is a bad mother. She does everything she can to be a mother. It's just that her heart has been lingering in temptation, and the reasons for this are very complicated, such as her husband's incomprehension, and the depression and anxiety caused by the disruption of her life plan.
Kevin grew up under the influence of such a mother. He is very dependent on his mother, maybe he doesn't want to admit it himself.
After his illness, Kevin fell in love with archery, and it was also because of the stories his mother read for him when he was sick, it can be seen how much he cared about his mother and how much he craved her attention and love, which is what Kevin wanted.
"Look at what you said to me, I take it as a very important thing to do, but why don't you just give up and love me?"
Later, the hostess had another child.
This is the heroine's laugh when she sees her husband and daughter playing. Clearly a loving and happy mother. Let's make a comparison.
This is the heroine's smile to Kevin. Very polite, very flattering, and very surprising, as if they were separated by a galaxy.
Then Kevin grew up. In fact, his psychology is also changing, mainly the desire for mother's love, but part of it has evolved into a desire for the attention around him. I want my mother to love me, but she can't, so I want it from the people around me.
He loves his mother. deeply love. I am certain of this. Miller's interpretation of such a rebellious and contradictory teenager is very good: he is indifferent, but more for himself, and when he is with his mother, he also has an undisguised warmth.
Was this "I love you" a revenge prank, or was it something he had always wanted to say to his mother? Let's take a look at the times when Kevin wasn't so "warm".
From the eyes to the words, it is clearly a naked revenge! I love you and care about you, but if you don't love me at all, or if you don't let go of everything and love me wholeheartedly, I will take revenge on you, make you sad, make you sad, make you embarrassed, and make you regret too much.
Finally, Kevin began to intensify. He killed his sister's hamster, blinded her in one eye (not clearly explained in the movie, but implied many times), and finally shot her classmates in the school gymnasium, and her father and sister also died under his bow and arrow.
"I just want you to watch and watch me tear everything to shreds, including you."
Kevin is laughing. The thrill of the successful revenge made him uncontrollable. The plot here is handled very well. First, Kevin was arrested, and the crowd at the scene cried. The audience would be very curious: what happened to Kevin? Why get kidnapped? It's a coincidence, isn't it, it just happened to be the problem with the title of the movie. Kevin made a mistake, he killed people, but it didn't prevent him from being a simple "good boy" (not afraid of gangsters). He simply longs for someone to love him wholeheartedly. It's instinct, right? It's just that the way he handled it was too extreme, which was regrettable and helpless.
This is a heartbreaking story about a mother and her poor child. They torture each other and hurt each other but love each other deeply.
