Joshua's Horrible Jealousy

Larue 2022-04-20 09:02:23

Just finished watching George Ratliff's "Joshua" ("Joshua").

The content is mainly about a nine-year-old child, Joshua, who has a younger sister, Lily, who is loved by the family. The mother loves her very much, so no one will appreciate or listen to Joshua's piano music, but praise Lily's cuteness and beauty. His parents no longer accompany him, this kind of jealousy fills his heart, but he can behave calmly, he only has a calm expression. And when he saw the video tape that belonged to him when he was a child, his mother's madness and crying in the video made him have vicious thoughts. He was attracted by Pharaoh's embalming technique, he believed in immortality... In the middle of the night he sneaked into Lily's room to alarm her, making her cry day and night. The mother had suffered from mental illness (postpartum depression) after giving birth to Joshua, but under Lily's cry, her spirit became disordered again. This is exactly what Joshua wanted, and he wanted revenge. When Joshua said to the beggar
: I'll give you five dollars if you let me throw a rock at you.
Deeply felt, his mind has been twisted.
Pushing grandma down the stairs to death; deceiving the psychiatrist into believing that his family was abusing himself; playing with his mother's medicine... In


the end, Ratliff did not give everyone a clear ending, but due to some guesses arrive.
Joshua is still jumping his hands at the piano and singing "the fly", it's a good song,
but his lyrics are all about himself
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why I did it
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why I did
You know they didn't ever
Have to love me
No, no, no
And no one ever will ever
Love them now
Oh, oh, but they
They always wanted somehow
To save me
Why, oh, why
For pit's sake, they should've saved themselves
Oh, oh, but you





first knew that this film was also seen in a magazine, and thought the introduction was very attractive to me, and it was a weird film, so I kept writing it down.
It seems that I like it very much today. The little male protagonist portrays Joshua just right, and it is difficult to be so calm.

Joshua's expression was fierce for the first time when he was slapped by his father, and he said fiercely, no one will love you!
Turning to a terrifying grin, it was shocking, and it really felt like he was a devil.




The above is the wording I personally highly recommend, clumsy, but I hope you like it.
