Don't think that there is no devil in the heart of twelve or thirteen-year-old children

The film scored 5 points, 3 points to Wood and 2 points to Culkin. Although Culkin played the image of a little devil so vividly, even though I didn’t watch the cast in advance when I was watching this movie, and I didn’t know that the protagonist of the Lord of the Rings played the male second, but his first glance When he showed up, those blue eyes proved Wood's identity as a child.

The protagonist of this children’s film is Caulkin, and the second male is Wood. But with Wood’s maturity, integrity, bravery, and cleverness in the play, he immediately noticed the crisis at the first sight and worked hard to protect his cousin’s safety. , For this realistic film noir greatly increased a touch of color. Therefore, 3 points must be given to the second man.

The little male actor Culkin played the evil and distortions in children's hearts vividly and vividly. Some audiences could not bear it. They called the plot exaggerated and had a negative impact on teenagers. The screenwriter did not discuss the lack of parents' responsibility for the education of their sons. The culprit was right. Parents who are indifferent to the child, I think they don’t know enough about the child’s heart.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old child, in addition to being different from adults in body shape, their understanding of the world and the establishment of values ​​have been formed, but they are not good at expressing in enough language, and their thoughts are hidden in a minor child The terrible sprout is easily overlooked under his coat. In recent years, eleven or twelve-year-old children at home and abroad have been killing their fathers and mothers, killing their peers, and bullying on campus. When the case happened, the society all complained about how terrible a child was wrapped in the seemingly innocent outerwear. In his heart, people have been calling for lowering the juvenile sentencing age in recent years.

On the other hand, if it is said that some children's crimes originated from the tragedy of the native family, then I think that Henry's abnormal psychology in the play is not caused by insufficient parental care or improper education. He has a perfect family, lovely younger siblings, a tree house close to nature, and a well-fed living environment. If his parents gave birth to younger siblings, they would disperse the love that was originally his own to the younger children. It made him feel cruel, so why are there so few cases in the world where the eldest sons and eldest daughters killed young children? The decrease in family care is not the reason for Henry's personality abnormality, but because, since he drowned his brother, he discovered: "When you can do anything you want to do, you are free to fly." This may be the real reason why smart children dare to commit crimes.

Another highlight in the play is Susan. Her difficult choice on the cliff is painful and wise, just like the queen dowager of King Bahbali. Such a righteousness is awesome. If she chooses again, I believe her. I will still choose Mark.

Finally, I would like to thank the once brilliant child star Macaulay Culkin for his wonderful contribution to this children’s drama. I believe that there is no other person who can perform better than him. I heard that he has come out of the shadow of life over the years. , I wish him, who is no longer famous, can go on happily, just like the smart and optimistic "Home Alone".

    The story of a master kid who loves murder and a hard-working friend... Just like the two paths chosen by two children, the two young actors have also embarked on two completely different paths.
