On Mother's Day, I watched a movie about my mother. There are some erotic scenes in the film, which are often promoted as stunts. But after watching it, I found that the movie is very deep, and it's not just talking about mothers. I have to say that the Chinese translation of "Being a Mother" is not very good, and I probably didn't understand the theme of the movie. As a mother, it only refers to the heroine, and the original title of "Little Children" actually refers to almost everyone in the play.
The film mainly tells the story of an affair between Sara, who is raising her daughter full-time, and a father who is full-time with the baby. Incidentally, it tells the story of a sexual pervert who cuts off his genitals.
At the beginning, the hostess and three nympho housewives were bringing their babies in a small garden. When they saw the father of a handsome and fit child who occasionally passed by, the three housewives unanimously expressed their distress, because "you still need to pay attention to what you wear", the hostess's expression Very disdainful, I think this is really unreasonable. Even the first hug with the male protagonist was a joke to deceive the three housewives. But I didn't expect that a subsequent kiss began to physically attach to the male protagonist, which could not end. In fact, in the initial communication with the male protagonist, the male protagonist said frankly that he did not have a lawyer's license, because ordinary men would not easily reveal their weaknesses, which made Sara appreciate it, and also caused Sara's reflection: raising children alone will make people feel Vulnerable (emotionally intrusive, not broken), so it's easier to open up. That's the perfect way to explain Sara's emotional downfall. Sara sat alone at the opening, not so fond of these three friends. After Sara pretended to hug and kiss inexplicably when she first met the male protagonist, three housewife friends stayed away from her, and later one came to her house to remind her of her sexual perversion. Sara was eager to repair the relationship at this time, and even grabbed each other's arm. It can be seen that the three of them are also a kind of emotional comfort to the lonely Sara. After failing to make peace with the housewife, Sara finally decided to meet the male protagonist, and she also began to pay attention to her image - ordered a red swimsuit, and became the woman she disdained the most at first.
The male protagonist has been orphaned since childhood. Although he now has a seemingly harmonious and perfect family, his hobbies and desires are still in his teens, when he likes sports. Because buying a mobile phone requires the consent of the wife, this is a common housewife's dilemma that is flipped, and the economy is restricted. The son took off the clown hat as soon as his mother came home, as if he liked his mother better no matter how hard he tried. As a male with a baby, no matter whether you are close or not, there is no "friend circle" of the female protagonist. His biological parents died early, he was not loved by his wife and children, and he had no support from outside friends. The male protagonist was also in a lonely and vulnerable situation. So although he didn't like Sara at first, he gradually developed feelings. Ben disagreed with the anti-harassment squad leader's policy, but joined the football team because of an unfulfilled desire for sports at a young age.
Two lonely, unloving people come together. Sara rereads Madame Bovary and sees her "thirst for choice and determination to refuse to accept suffering", and she also faces the same situation as Madame Bovary. In the end? Will there be results? Will he take you away? This problem has been tormenting her, making her obsessed with her appearance after dating her lover, and even ignoring the welcoming ceremony and the small photo frame made by her little daughter. She hoped that she would not end up in the same fate as Madame Bovary. Once, after making love with the male protagonist, they both lay on the bed, and Sara lay attached to the male protagonist's shoulder, and the male protagonist shed tears after mentioning his desire to play when he was young, but Sara did not notice. The male protagonist does not have much need for emotions, but the challenge of stimulating sports makes him feel as if he has returned to his youth, when his parents loved him and he pursued it. And he took it as such a challenge to give up everything with Sara. Before eloping, he finally took a skateboarding challenge and missed Sara. Sara saw the perverted man in the small park, and also saw the pain of losing his mother, and thought that she had been absent from her daughter recently. After finding her daughter under the street light, Sara burst into tears, not only because of her loss, but also because of her own guilt. The daughter said softly that it was okay. Also healed Sara. Sara found that the emotional dependence she had been looking for was by her side. No matter whether the male lead came or not, she resolutely brought her daughter home.
The leader of the anti-harassment team turned out to be a policeman. He mistakenly shot and killed a teenager during a mission. Since then, he has suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and can no longer be a policeman, but he only wants to be a policeman and does not want to go back to the police academy. After teaching, he became depressed, and his wife left with the children. The only task he gave himself was to prevent sexual perverts from harassing children in the community. This task simply supported his beliefs. Whenever things went wrong, he would go to the perverted home to vent his anger (in fact, he wanted to make up for the manslaughter that year). child, so now take good care of the child). Although all the neighbors are ostracizing the pervert, his mother loves him very much, saying that making a mistake doesn't mean you are a bad person, and looking for a blind date for him. But the pervert couldn't control his exhibitionist desire, masturbating in front of the blind date ended up screwing it all up, under those tearful eyes that were painful, reluctant and apologetic, he was masturbating, he was really perverted to himself behavior cannot be controlled. After a confrontation with the leader of the anti-harassment squad, my mother died of a heart attack. Sex pervert cuts off his own genitals after reading mum's last words "Be a good boy". The leader of the anti-harassment team came to apologize, which happened to save the pervert, and the leader of the anti-harassment team finally got redemption because of this rescue. In order to gain the mother's love and approval, the sexual pervert can only choose to have their genitals cut off under the premise of knowing that any effort they make will be of no avail. This seems to be a happy ending for the audience, but in fact he is really pitiful: he didn't hurt himself when he was ostracized by his neighbors and attacked, because his mother tolerated him and protected him, and everyone else was irrelevant. But until his mother died, he realized that he would never meet her expectations. He would never be able to be a good boy. His mother's words were the knife. In order to get her love, he could only cut himself.
