2. The film goes against the conventions of thriller films. A large number of bright colors are used to embellish the picture (for example, red runs through almost the entire film), and the picture of the film is always kept under a relatively bright shot, supplemented by various types of music (mostly bright ones) , plus there is always no direct manifestation of violence.
3. All of the above mentioned in point 2 can be said to be able to offset the darkness of the film. However, in fact, on the contrary, it is these seemingly bright elements that make the dark nature of the film more prominent. The entire viewing process made me feel uneasy, even shudder, almost like watching a horror movie. This kind of uneasy movie-watching experience hasn't happened for a long time.
4. In terms of narrative, the film is not conventional, jumping in and out of the plot in two time and space, not only there is no sense of confusion, but it deepens the suspense and horror of the story. Lynn Ramsay is a really good female director.
5. The success of the film, which has won many awards, has a lot to do with the wonderful performances of the actors. The expressive performance of British actress Tilda Swinton, who plays mother, is unforgettable.
6. Focus on Ezra Miller who plays Kevin: This guy is really good, his temperament is absolutely unique, and that face is really evil. There are many beautiful teenagers, but very few actors have such evil spirits. In addition to his immature performance, it is difficult for this kid not to be popular. The role of Kevin was originally a type that was not so easy to interpret, and there were a lot of psychological dramas that needed to be conveyed through expressions, which Miller did quite well. What impressed me the most was the following two episodes, one was a conversation between Kevin and his mother at a restaurant, and the other was walking out of the school in the face of the police. Take a closer look at Kevin's twitching facial expression when he talks to his mother, and look at his arrogance and paradox in front of the police... Know who I am thinking of? Kevin Spacey! ! !
7. Finally, the social issues conveyed by the film are indeed worthy of our reflection. In addition to telling us that some people may be born with demons, this tragedy really makes us reflect on the way we educate our children. Kevin is evil in the film, but what about his mother? What role did she play in Kevin's upbringing? Her many personality flaws and the way she communicates with her son are probably one of the reasons why her son has come this far.
8. Friends who have seen the movie, can you really understand why Kevin did this? I can generally understand it, but I can't express it in detail. WHY? ? ?
