Why blame this kid?

After seeing a lot of people scolding this kid for his neuroticism and the fake script, I thought it was incredible. The movie has already confessed that this child has a phobia of social interaction. He likes to stay in claustrophobic spaces such as cabinets and under the bed, especially after the death of his father. He was not very popular in school, although he was very bright, loving science, and ingenious.
Although his communication with the outside world may seem difficult, he is very close to his father, who taught him everything, and he has many special ways of communicating with his father that only the two of them can do. And he always felt that his mother didn't understand him very well. After 9/11, the departure of his father made him feel more repulsive towards his mother, because he felt that no one would understand what he had to say to him, so that even if his grandfather did not speak, he was willing to follow him. Looking for it, he felt that his grandfather was the first person who could have something to say. This was the first reason he treated his mother so rudely.
The second reason is that Oscar was a witness to Dad's last voice, but he didn't have the courage to answer the phone, and he didn't have the courage to tell this fact to others. Especially his mother. And he also knows how important these recordings are to his mother. This made his heart full of torment, under enormous pressure, and it was inevitable that he would lose control of his emotions.
He is only a child, but he has to suffer the pain of losing his father. He racked his brains to extend the "eight minutes", wanting to spend more time with his father. In the process of pursuit, he saw all kinds of people, learned their stories and their losses, so that he could finally accept the fact that his father had left. More importantly, he finally understood his mother's love for him, who has always been with him, desperately paving the way for him every step he wants to take. From doubt to relief, from incomprehension to understanding, isn't this the growth of a child?
Throughout the film, the unspeakable pain is vividly and vividly shown in a neurotic child, which makes people feel distressed and empathetic.
The background of the film is a big event that attracts the attention of the world, but it is not political, unlike many other disaster films that blame the government or something. It's all about family, about growing up. is a good film.
