(There are spoilers, don't enter if you don't like it.)
Little Kevin's character has sharp eyes.
The soundtrack is great, especially the use of oriental music, which is weird, but it fits the undercurrent tension of the film.
The story is well told from the mother's point of view, including the horror stories of killing my father and sister, and killing my classmates.
Is he doing this to get her (mom) attention?
He has always had a need for maternal love, but he just doesn't know how to get along.
She didn't even know how to love him.
The movie is actually about the relationship between mother and child. She communicated with him a few times. The first time was when he was sick. She read stories for him. , how possessive is he towards his mother, is it because he gets less? And the other time, when she said she invited him to a game of golf and dinner, she expressed her opinion on the diet of fat people, and he said she was sharp. Here, what a complex emotion.
There is a passage in the movie that is repeated twice, to the effect that when the child is not present, talk about how to solve the problem. This question should be about the problem between her and him.
Well, luckily it's just novels and movies.
Similar to this movie is "I Killed My Mom". It is also a mother-son relationship, but it seems to be much more relaxed than this film. It was a conflict between a teenage child and mom and love. The film depicts the growth of a child through the eyes of its mother.
The main character behaves like the villain in Big Bad, everything he does is to get his attention.
