A Brief Comment on Little Monsters

Okay~_~ Okay~_~ I admit that the film is clichéd in many places, and some people even say it is boring. But even this cannot hide my love for the film.

The protagonist David is a rock singer who sells and sings on the street. He has a bad temper and broke up with his girlfriend, so he has to send someone to his sister's house. He helped his sister with the baby at home, and the director showed us that the characteristics of this guy are exactly the same as what I described earlier. But at the same time, he told us a very important message. He is still a child.

When David made a mistake and his sister Tas wanted to drive him away, he cried, crying over there like a child. In the end, Tas went to work, and David took the baby (Tas's husband passed away).

When sending the children to kindergarten, the heroine Caroline appeared. This role was obviously reversed from David. She is sunny, she loves children, and she is full of hope for life. But David fell in love with her and participated in outings.

The zombies came during the outing, and David's growth officially began. Although he was very brave in the battle against zombies, he still couldn't make up for the fear in his heart. And Caroline comforted him and allowed him to grow step by step. Finally, when he was besieged by zombies on the roof of the car he found for the children to survive, Tas called and told his sister what he had wanted to say for many years. When the phone dropped, Tas subconsciously said BOO BOO (this is Tas's name for David when he was young). This detail is really touching.

When she appeared in the role of Caroline, it meant that this role was destined to not have as many growth paths as David, but she had the courage to protect the children and the courage to protect the children when facing zombies. Tongxin said that this game is very pleasing.

The film is a comedy and horror film. I think the part of the jokes is okay, but what impresses me is that when an adult in the movie said a dirty word, the children said in a virgin tone: "Expletive..." Find it interesting.

The children think this is a "game", but when we watched the adult in the film risking their lives to avoid the zombies, the reaction between the children and the adults formed a contrast. The final ending is also very interesting.

David drove the tractor, Caroline played the Ukulele and the children sang and applauded together with the two adults. At this time, the zombies also clapped. In this passage, I think that after adults become zombies, they get rid of everything in this world and return to their childhood mentality. Who is not a child after all?

I wish you and I will always be a child.
