From "I Killed My Mom" to "Mummy", the boy Dolan finally crossed the hurdle that he couldn't get through and made the most beautiful reconciliation with himself. Rather than being immersed in irreversible emotional protection, it is better to simply let each other's feelings stay in the most perfect moment, with the spirit of Bushido's decisiveness, like cherry blossoms falling back to heaven faster than five centimeters per second. In "I Killed My Mom", the son recalls that the color of the dusk in his childhood is the same as the color outside the window in "Mummy." The bright sunset glows in the heavy dark clouds, like the last carnival of life.
When "born to die" sounded, I had goose bumps all over my body, not because the slightly sharp violin sound suddenly sounded in the otherwise empty picture, but of uncontrollable excitement! I feel like my tears are about to come out, and my heart has been rushing through the corridors of the clean hospital with this hateful and lovely child, towards the glass-like world. Yes, there was only the scene of Mommy lying on the bed alone. But mommy, if your child is destined to be different, even if you break his wings, he can still fly with his life.
The fantasy in "I Killed My Mother" came from the son. When he was young, he was willing to compromise with the world's ideas and his mother's hopes, but unfortunately, he chose the object that was also criticized by the world's eyes-teacher-student love. The joy of recognition, but the sophistication of the other party's fear is invisible; the fantasy in "Mummy" comes from the mother; she hopes that her son will grow up smoothly and happily like an ordinary child, graduate and have a family, and she is also as happy as an ordinary mother. Watch it all happen. However, although these fantasies are extremely beautiful, they have become daggers at the apex of the heart.
The mother and son in "I Killed My Mother" are completely opposite in character to the mother and son in "Mummy", but combining them gives the true emotion of a mother and son. " is an extraordinary emotional world of ordinary people, who live wildly and wantonly according to the rhythm they want; "I Killed My Mother" is an emotional animal that has strayed into the adult world. Soft against the spikes will not only cause pain, but will also stain red with blood. Spiked eyes I like the composition in "I Killed My Mother" very much. The two people talking are obviously very close to each other, but the camera divides them at two ends, replacing the position of a living person with a large blank space to imply a spiritual exchange between the two barrenness and emotional distance.
In "I Killed My Mom", Dolan's emotional world is clearly presented on the screen, some in words, and more in the inner world of collapse and madness, and the anger shown in slow motion is Multiplied by the magnification, the feeling of powerlessness in the face of my loved ones who are drifting away from me is replaced by surreal hallucinations one by one. Human emotions are so complicated and contradictory. Your love and hate are like spirit and flesh. Sometimes it is as clear as being separated by the two banks of the Forgotten River, and sometimes it is as vague as if you are hugging each other, yelling, crying, laughing, and in the end, it's just because you have no other way to express your love.
The means of expression in "Mummy" have obviously matured a lot; people have jumped from imagination to reality, and what language cannot express is replaced by music and body movements. The deepest emotion is the hardest to express, because you know it's there, and once you express it, all the words, education, and experience will hit your brain in that instant, and you'll be searching for something worthy of it. but found that this is really a process of emotional cooling. So people kiss and hug. Some words can only be said to yourself tobreak through the darkness, find the light, escape from the fantasy, and live in the moment. Both films show mothers performing one act when they discover the estrangement between mother and child—escape.
First of all, because of the age gap, 16-year-old teenagers are rebellious no matter how much they do, and mothers are the ones who have come to be sensible. Although there is a certain factual basis for this view, there is no doubt that it is precisely because of age. It is more about real emotions. Although his sharp and thorny looks are so dangerous that they are afraid to approach, if you really get close, you will find that he is actually a sea cucumber at most, and his mother is tired of She has returned more energy from protecting children to finding each person's value and social status. As an adult, the more closed emotions are, the more lies and deceptions in this cold world will be felt, and the less disappointmentthere will be. To seize the little hope, as an ordinary person, only by carefully following the crowd can you have a place of principle. The mother in "I Killed My Mother" either forgot her son's plan, or did not take her son's thoughts as a serious matter at all, and still regarded him as an ignorant fart when he gradually acquired an independent personality. It's just a child, and the mother in "Mummy" is immersed in her own fantasy and cannot extricate herself, and uses her experience to send her son to a dead end.
The second is because of money. Even if we are a family that loves each other legally, adults should take the responsibility of supporting the family’s right to eat as their responsibility. However, the economic foundation determines the superstructure. It is not difficult to see that a child is controlled by parents mainly by economic pressure. If emotions could so easily connect people into long-lasting relationships, society wouldn't be bound to protect marriage as a legal provision. When a person has no financial ability, it means that he has lost the autonomy of life, and once this power is in the hands of other people, even if this person is a person close to us, he is not immune to what this person thinks is "best" to organize your own life. Adults are accustomed to using money to solve things without expensive emotions, so the mother in "I Killed My Mom" used weekly pocket money to change her son's long-standing arrangement. In "Mummy", the mother's expensive indemnity did not hesitate to sell herself but just touched his son's bottom line.
Finally, there is the crisis of trust, the most irreversible tragedy in human relationships. When we gradually cool down from the initial enthusiasm and suddenly get out of the misunderstanding that the other person is the pillar of our life, everyone will start to pay attention to their inner pursuits and views. The mother in "I Killed My Mother" has her own career, and she is always happy to use materials to improve her own taste to satisfy her sense of self-worth; the mother in "Mummy" suffers from uncontrollable behavior in her son's life. When threatened, he will not hesitate to smash the sharp weapon in his son's head. Some details may be forgotten by us, but we know this deeply in our hearts: While the mother hopes that the son's growth can make him an independent and excellent person, she can't help but hope that he will be attached to her; the son hopes that the mother will She can love her youth and beauty in every possible way, as she did when she was a child, but she has to face the fact that she is getting older and less beautiful.
In the end, the conflict between the two became bigger and worse like a tumbleweed, and both of them realized sadly that the preciousness of those beautiful pasts was precisely because of their irreversibility. What Dolan chose was actually a special period of time between mother and son. The son was in a period of rebellious youth, and the mother was in the bottleneck period of her career. The two people's troubles attacked each other no less than World War II. We can't go back. It's the most hurtful thing in the world. No matter how strong our love is, we can't help but add too many things we don't want to admit. No one wants to live together because of habit. Just as we need herbal tea in summer and a fire in winter, we also want those things that symbolize love. The picture of a mother and child on the wall is the common expectation of mother and child, but this cold picture will also fade, just as we are all disappointed in the constant hurry.
In "Mummy", there is a "godmother" contrast. She obtained the power to dispel the haze from the strong love of Diane's mother and son, but she had to go with her family in the end. She always remembers. The fact that she does not have the status of a guardian means she can only give temporary education and relief, and there is an invisible critical point whether it is emotional support or not. We all remember the classic lines from "I Killed My Mom". The son asked, "What would happen to you if I died today?" and turned and walked away. The mother looked at the back sadly and said, "I will die tomorrow too." This is the bond that only a biological mother and son can have.
When the emotion is strong to a certain extent, the pen and ink of desire are swiped. The same-sex love in "I Killed My Mom" wrote desire into the beauty of stream of consciousness. Breathing heavily between naked bodies, I prefer "Mummy." A kiss from the middle son to his mother. I guess at his young age he doesn't yet understand the full meaning of what he's doing, but I love the simplicity and directness of the expression. The smog in the world is too heavy, blurring our vision and our minds. We need such a blazing weapon that goes straight to the ground.
