1. The film is set in a special social context, and a desperate choice is exposed from the very beginning. Xavier Dolan is a person who is good at revealing his inner pain to others. If the reality is not painful enough, he will take the initiative to seek pain, so the whole movie inevitably gives people a feeling of self-pity, but people who know it will understand it, and if you don't understand it, you don't have to watch it.
2. Freud's "Introduction to Psychoanalysis" mentions the "Oedipus complex" in men's hearts and the "Electra complex" in women's hearts. The establishment of human emotions comes from this, and the relationship between Die and Steve There is obviously an internal motivation of "Oedipus complex", but the film does not extend too much on this basis, it only stays at the level of expression of motivation, and uses "Oedipus complex" to deepen their relationship between mother and son emotional bond.
3. Physical violence, swear words, and poor expression, these symbols should actually belong to the concept of sexuality as mentioned by Freud, which is a high-level disguise, in which there are also instincts of repression and resistance.
4. In fact, under such a special setting, "Mommy" shows an instinct - the instinct of the son to the mother; the instinct of the mother to the son; the instinct to survive in the world, like aphasia Neighbors will take the initiative to approach the same flawed Die/Steve mother and son, this is the instinct to find the same kind. And "Oedipus complex" is the most fundamental and basic human instinct in the world of psychoanalysis, and it is the seed of all things and behaviors.
5. The success of the film lies in the portrayal of the character Die. Mothers are not necessarily gentle and strong. Die also has her own temper and is also vulnerable. She also curses and drags her son when she is frustrated. This is the truth. And with the existence of vitality, Die obviously took off the label of traditional mother and lived off the screen from the role.
6. The idea of using screen proportions to express emotions is good, but it's not the most important thing, it's just one of the many shooting techniques used by Xavier Dolan. On the contrary, I think that too many people pay attention to this point, so that they ignore the emotional expression of the film itself, and of course, ignore the bug of Xavier Dolan's music mv, which is good.
