It is also about childhood, which really throws children's films like "The Chronicles of Narnia" far away.
Because the father is terminally ill, the mother is a sadist. The heroine killed her mother with her father when she was very young. After the father died, the little girl lived in a rented house alone, with the landlord’s wife and landlord. The perverted son and the police dealt with each other.
There is nothing less suitable for a children’s movie theme than murder, child molestation, and lying to the police. But the story of this film is very real and touching. We always immerse our childhood with so many beautiful fantasies of rainbow colors, so that many people are immature in adulthood. We think it is the fruit of love. I really like what the father teaches his daughter, which never appeared in the film, to the effect that the world is cruel, and I have to survive anyway. The theme is indeed a little darker, but it has realistic wisdom.
People often think that people who are too smart and too precocious are not cute, but they are not cute and cannot fully understand them. Children who get out of the soap bubbles of love can always understand earlier how to lie and protect themselves, and also understand the preciousness of love. They understand that innocence is equivalent to superficial ignorance, and they can better understand the complexity of the world and the mysteries of living in it.
Every parent should cry happily when the child lied to himself for the first time.
