"Juvenile Shelter", the name is really annoying. It exudes a strong smell of potion. It is easily reminiscent of the serious-faced rescuers like "Exterminator Tai" and a large group of dangerous and weird problem teenagers. . Of course, there are both movies, but there is no ups and downs of human nature conflict, no sense of violation, everything is slowly going on in a peaceful life, there is a real beauty of human nature. Perhaps as Grace said at the beginning, they are neither parents nor therapists. Their job is to ensure the safety of the children here. They all know their position.
I have to admire the director. The perspective of this movie is very unique. Generally speaking, the focus of this kind of film should be on the children. After all, the name is called "Juvenile Shelter". world. In the movie, the ending of the children is not clear. Except that Marcus had a good time after going out, Sammy still flees from time to time. Jayden and others still live in it, but none of us worry about them, because We know that these children, including Grace, will get better and better.
Who is helping them? Grace? Although she is responsible, patient and kind, she herself was a scarred child herself, and from the beginning to the end of the movie, the children's self-harm or violent behaviors did occur. Such scenes often appeared: whenever Mason When they are chatting happily or having fun with the children, there will be unexpected events, either Jayden ran away, or Marcus and Luis were fighting.
Look, no one is the savior, no one can save anyone, only oneself can redeem oneself. Only by facing your own past can you find the key to the future. Grace is true, so is Jarden.
At the end of the movie, it coincided with the beginning. It was Mason talking about the children, and then Sammy ran out. However, the feelings at the beginning and the end are completely different. The former gives people a sense of tension and seriousness, while the latter makes people laugh, suddenly giving birth to a kind of warmth and joy, perhaps because of slow motion, or we have begun to believe in the final In the end they will all become better people.
