Two details of the whole story touched me the most:
the first place, Eva was holding the newborn Kevin, and she was holding Kevin who was still a baby between her hands, far away from herself. Have you seen how people hold children, especially how a mother holds her own child? You should understand that the mother's instinct is to be close, and Eva's simple action is similar to the previous series of reactions when she was pregnant. Echoing this reality - she has not been able to accept the accident. A person who will enjoy his own life will inevitably have a shortcoming - ego. This is not a terrible thing, but a double-edged sword: you can avoid being influenced by the outside world, or try to minimize the influence of the outside world on the way you live; at the same time, you will lack the ability to live with people and adapt to each other. ability.
Eva obviously just can't get used to Kevin's arrival. She is a woman who will enjoy a free and free life, but she can't be a good mother right away, yes, she just can't be right away, well, it may be a little long, until she regenerates When you are a daughter, you find that she is not much different from an ordinary mother, and you can even say that she is a very dedicated mother.
There are maternal feelings in the nature of living things, and Oedipus complex is more or less reflected in every life, especially men. Kevin too.
The film uses Eva's perspective to recall everything about Kevin. We don't know what the strange-looking child is thinking, but some details are worth scrutinizing.
When Kevin was young, it was natural for him to be close to his father, you would be close to those who were close to you, and when he was a little older, every time he was close to his father, he would look at his mother, which is also Eva, with a clear look in his eyes. Joke and provocation.
When the younger sister was born, there was a sharp contrast between her mother's love and love for her sister and what she had received. These were all because of his extreme desire for maternal love. This desire and reality were intertwined with each other, constantly distorting, until finally the parents decided to send Let him go, and send him to the army when he is of age.
Seeing this scene discussed by his parents made him completely out of control, and his heart was completely distorted.
In the second and final ending, Eva asked Kevin for the first time, and asked him: "Why?"
Just this simple word made him seem crazy enough to go crazy, and his expression suddenly changed. No more, his eyes softened, and even the perverted image who didn't know how to repent suddenly turned into a child who was at a loss.
In the process of Kevin growing up, it's not that she didn't work hard to improve the relationship between them, but maybe she was inexperienced, maybe she felt indebted, maybe she never became an ordinary mother, a nagging mother, a nagging mother. A mother who loves chasing after her child to ask about his condition.
The reason why we are who we are today is that some things are innate, but more are brought to us by our future experiences, especially in the process of our understanding of the world from ignorance.
In fact, what does a truly happy family look like, and what does the happiest relationship look like? Now I think it is one who can speak with heart and soul, and who can quarrel but also forgive each other, just like "modern family" ("Modern family") Modern Family").
