The story is about the attachment of a handsome boy to his deceased mother and his father married a coquettish woman... It seems that this film may have slipped into the cliché of evil and morality, but this is a small British film. However, he turned to the protagonist's exploration of the values of voyeurism on the roof with a unique ingenuity.
In this insecure world, the roof is the Garden of Eden, an observatory where you can peek into human desires; it seems to peek at others, but in fact, you peek into your own heart.
The entrance to the small wooden house in the bushes was to climb into the rope. The handsome boy was a lonely child. But he later discovered that the little third had personally knocked the mother’s boat into a hole and put a lot of sleeping pills in her drink, which led to The mother's death...Faced with this amazing discovery and the stepmother's deliberate conspiracy to get rid of him, how should the young boy choose? However, unexpectedly, when the child was about to strangle the stepmother, he actually had a relationship with the stepmother (of course, this must be the woman who had to resort to the trick of sexual provocation). The impulse was indeed the devil, and that’s why. , The boy ran away from home and started a new life.
Wandering is of course hard work, especially for an underage teenager. Fortunately, he is a clever child (otherwise he wouldn't have discovered the truth about his mother's death before), and he is willing to endure hardships. At this time, he met the wheel of his destiny-when he was looking at the scenery from the roof to the street, he suddenly saw a beautiful woman very much like his mother, so he immediately followed her, and through the help of this kind-hearted woman to find I got my first job, although I was just a kitchen handyman, but as he said, I just want to take the first step in life.
Later, he fell in love with this woman, and he couldn't tell whether it was because of the Oedipus complex or something. In short, they fell in love. But how does this woman feel when she knows that the boy pays attention to herself because she looks like his mother? Emotional entanglements are always complicated, but the feelings and intentions are real. Maybe many times we don't have to make the distinction so clearly, just do it if we like it. Life, after all, is one's own, to live it.
When he finally threw his stepmother into the lake, just like what the woman did to his mother...he cried and said: I hate you! I hate you! As a result, he still saved her... This hate was already mixed with love, and the plot of his virginity... But, he finally grew into a man, because he knew how to forgive and understand. Let go of the hatred, and understand how to continue living.
In fact, at the end of the film, the child's father finally revealed the truth-the mother committed suicide. The hole in the boat was done by the father, but it was to prevent the mother from slipping out and doing stupid things... But what can really stop a person who wants to die? Father said, "That was her last victory in my war with her." It was meaningful.
"Me, what about me?" The child asked,
"Your mother loves you." The father said,
"I didn't love to the point where I had to stay with me." The child's voice trembled.
"That's why you are angry." Father's tone was calm.
The father and son reconciled and hugged each other and wept.
On the lake, a white swan appeared, so pure and beautiful...as if not close.
PS: The opening and ending credits are very good, very typical British comic style, it is worth watching. Also, the original soundtrack of the movie is recommended.
