Well, let me start with, this is a horror movie.

The boy’s biological mother died of cancer. Before he died, I saw him for the last time and told him I will always be with you. "Monster" took away mom. Cody’s mother was adopted by a couple after her death. Her adoptive mother had a bad cold. Cody didn’t know how serious it was. He was afraid that the canker monster would take away the adoptive mother. So what he was afraid of was reflected in the dream and the adoptive mother was taken away. . Cody knew that the monsters in his dreams would hurt others, and after being abandoned repeatedly, he felt guilty and thought it was his own fault. So he shut himself up and did not sleep to pretend to cover up his mistakes and cover up his gloom, thus becoming him. The dark side of my heart. When he met a classmate who bullied him at school, he pushed back, proving that he would fight back, so when he fell asleep, canker took away his classmates to protect himself and fight back. So for the image of the monster, Cody was initially out of fear because the monster always took away the people he loved and loved him. He thought it was his fault and caused him to resent himself. The monster represents Cody. In his dream The monster of became Cody, became his shadow, showing his emotions, anger, joy and jealousy, etc., so the monster took away his classmates.

So this monster is not his mother but himself, just the image of his mother when she died.

Let's talk about his new mother. In a fundamental sense, this mother is the most selfish and darkest person. When she refused to let her husband take down the family photos, did he ever think about the timidity of the new child to integrate into a new family? She drugged Cody to see her dead child and lost her husband. Cody’s dreams went from a happy Sean to Sean’s head when his new mother rubbed his head into Sean’s head. He was jealous. He liked the couple. He wanted to be part of the family, but his dreams But there are constantly appearing in this former family. So when the monster appeared, Cody appeared. His jealousy made him feel resentful and made him attack the new adoptive parents.

Finally, when the new mother went to look for him, she hugged canker and he became Cody. It was clear at a glance that the canker monster was Cody. Canker is Cody's demon.

It can only be understood this way. This film is too horrible for children, and it is logically confusing for adults. Okay to sleep. Good night.

  • Jessie: No one ever really goes away. Not completely. Because they live in our minds, and in our hearts

  • Natalie: I've had a case come back across my desk that could be a very good fit. Cody. He's eight. His birth mother died when he was three. And we placed him with a couple that may turned out weren't fit. The second couple we placed him with abandoned him. Oh, my God. And I went for his annual follow up I found him living alone in the apartment.
