The monster is me - I am also the monster
The main character Connor is a miserable child. With his parents divorced prematurely and his mother seriously ill, he has to take care of his mother while he survives, and life will force him to mature prematurely.
Connor was lonely, without friends, and life never brought him joy. His mother guided him to paint when he was very young, and his mother felt that people's emotions and thoughts could be pinned in the paintings. Drawing was probably the only thing that would make Connor happy.
Connor, who was sitting in the last row at the school, made some crude little tricks, always had melancholy and nervous eyes, and didn't have the same table. These signs are not difficult to see that Connor is a poor student and has no friends. He has grown up in his hometown for more than ten years but has no friends. He must be a freak with mental illness. No wonder there is no roommate. This also makes the subsequent school bullying reasonable. Just imagine that at the age of 12, every time you turn your head, you will be stared at by the freaks in the back row. It is terrifying to think about. So when you are 12 years old, you must take some measures to stop him from this behavior. As for what measures to take, it depends on your personal age and social experience. There are no reasonable explanations for many parts of the film, and the director also deliberately made some scenes very beautiful and sad. Commercial movies, how do you make money if you don’t get excited about it?
first story told by monsters
After the kind prince deliberately killed his beloved woman and blamed it on his mother, he aroused public anger and helped the prince become king. The prince symbolized his father, who abandoned his seriously ill mother for a better life, so the grandmother hated his father very much.
My father said that I love your mother very much, and I still love her now, but many problems in life cannot be solved with love. In fact, my father left my mother because my mother was seriously ill. Even if it wasn't for this, it was to make my life better. Anyway, it wasn't because of a discord, because my father still loved my mother.
The second story told by the monster
The second story is about the pastor begging the pharmacist he once encouraged people to exclude to save his two seriously ill daughters. The pastor said that he would do anything for the daughters, even willing to give up all his faith, but the pharmacist did not save him in the end. The daughter of the priest, because the pharmacist believes that faith is the reason for believers to exist, and a believer who is willing to abandon even his faith is not called a person. In the second story, the priest is the father and the pharmacist is the grandmother. Grandma doesn't seem to like Connor restricting Connor everywhere, but grandma is the one who really helps Connor in life. Although Dad seemed to love Connor and wanted to take him to America for Christmas, he was only content with the satisfaction of his beloved son. And he didn't visit Connor's mother when she was in the hospital. He didn't do his duty as a father, always giving Connor hope and pushing him into despair.
The third story told by the monster
It is about the fact that invisible people are more lonely after being seen by people. The third story is about Connor himself. No one cares about him in school and society. It is the same without him. This is unacceptable to Connor, so when his classmates turn their heads, Connor will stare at him. He, originally I thought Connor was staring at him because of hatred, but there was an episode that changed my mind about it. When Connor was eating, the classmate grabbed Connor by the collar and said that he would never beat Connor again because he wanted to treat Connor as invisible. A classmate was admitted to the hospital, and then I realized that Connor was not staring at the classmate because of hatred, but deliberately to provoke the classmate to beat him (the video never expresses Connor Connor's treatment of the classmate from the beginning to the end). hatred), so that Connor felt that he had a meaning, that he had been in this world. It turns out that what's worse than being bullied is being completely ignored
The fourth story is the nightmare that has been haunting Connor. In the dream, the earth breaks because Connor fails to hold on to his mother and finally his mother falls into the abyss. The monster kept pushing Connor to speak out, but Connor would rather jump into the abyss than speak out. Finally Connor got tired at the end, he wanted to let go of himself and his mother, and told the result (accepted the reality). After the result was announced, the monster instantly shrank and withered. Connor accepts reality, and it doesn't exist.
Monsters represent reality, they represent anger. The existence of the monster gave Connor a great sense of security and the courage to do what he was afraid to do together. The monster is Connor's deep-seated alter ego. On the one hand, Connor fantasizes that the world is beautiful. On the other hand, Connor forced himself to accept the truth. In the end, the other Connor became a monster, and the monster forced Connor to end his beautiful fantasy about the world, accept the facts, and grow up. The father plays an important role in the child's childhood. The father will teach the child how to make friends, how to deal with the problems in life, and is the child's social guide. And with him by his side, the child will have a sense of security. But since Connor's parents divorced, Connor has only his mother and grandmother by his side, and the lack of mature men to serve as his social leader has contributed to Connor's weird behavior and withdrawn personality. If there is no one to be my social guide, then I am. The monster has lived for thousands of years, has infinite wisdom, he has a huge body and huge strength, he has a terrifying appearance and self-made majesty. The monster is the best social leader, the social leader Connor fantasized about himself, and also himself.
