In the movie, poverty is used to set off the difficulty of maternal love. The more difficult it is, the deeper its love is.
The human brilliance of the poor always makes people sigh about its greatness. I remembered the movie "Knock When Happiness Comes" that I watched when I was a freshman. It was also a story about how a poor and destitute father and son depended on each other to fight for the future. Compared with this Mommy, the ending is very good. After earning enough tears, it gives people hope and comfort. The whole movie of Mommy is gray and depressing, except for the company of Keira and the fantasy of her mother. An incapable mother with an older child who is somewhat neurotic can imagine the powerlessness and hardships involved without looking at the details.
For the person you love, the most painful thing is not being able to love her. Love, but can't help, love, but can only leave. The cruelty of reality often can only make people bow their heads, Mommy chose to leave the child in a mental hospital.
Here, it reminds me of those lonely old people whose children were unable to support them, abandoned them, or sent them to nursing homes. Those sick babies, whose parents are unable to raise them, can only throw them to the government and to the side of the road. Aside from moral criticism, I believe they are mostly helpless, sad and sighed when they make a decision.
The movie didn't end well either. The male protagonist ran to the window and ended, and seemed to be free, but it is more likely that he fell to death after being freed in an instant. Kayla moved to Toronto and Mommy lived alone. It felt like God gave her poverty, gave her a mentally ill son, and then let the world abandon her. How helpless and sad. But the film is still told in a very bland way, without a very emotional sympathy, and tells this sad story coldly.
PS: Speaking of poor people. In the past, I always felt that poverty was the result of my own disappointment. In the past few days, I saw an article, "The poorer, the more powerless", it said that a female doctor went to the bottom of society to experience the social practice of life. In general, the work of making a living has wiped out the time and energy of the poor at the bottom. They worry about making a living all day long, are busy, have no ability, and have no chance to make changes. Maybe this is the fate that China said, poverty will really inherit. Although the conclusion of this article is so pessimistic, one can always find a few examples like slumdog millionaires or when happiness knocks on the door to bring sunshine to life.
