Interpreting Joshua's ending

The focus of this film is at the end. It was supposed to be a psychological and suspenseful film, but the end implies that it can be a conspiracy film. Everything is just a perfect plan for this child.

Many people guessed at the end of this suspenseful film, and some people sang a line of lyrics sung by uncle, "nobody ever called me daddy actually that's not true" as a criterion for judging uncle and mother. I think I got the answer. It is a pity that this kind of speculation is bold, but this sentence is actually very common American humor.

Anyone who knows this a little bit can find that uncle is actually GAY. The body language between him and his mother, even foreign brothers and sisters, is very rare. It is also because of the more delicate emotions than the average man, he will care about his mother very carefully, and ran over to chat with him when Joshua played the piano and was left out in the cold.

Looking back at the end, they were sitting alone in front of the piano. Joshua said to his uncle, "I said, you and me, this feeling is right, it should be like this." Then he sang the allegorical song. The song "You know they never had to love me, no need, no need, no need; from now on, no one will love them anymore, but I don't know why they always want to save me, why, why. To say sympathetically, they should actually save themselves (here refers to their parents) but you always say that I have never played a single note wrong, no one understands me like you, you always say that everything will be fine Yes, I actually only wanted to be with you all the time. (These are all told to uncle) Then I will laugh from the heart when the wish is about to come true~

What is this indicating? It shows that he has always unilaterally believed that his parents do not love him, and only his uncle cares about him. He has been planning how to leave his parents and live with his uncle. But now that his father is about to appear in court, he will definitely be deprived of his guardianship. It is logical that the uncle of his immediate family will become the person living next to him. At the end he said that he loves his sister very much, and indeed, how could he achieve this goal without this little girl? The injuries he caused to himself, the challenges that he continued to make when he knew his parents were nervous, all explained his plan. He felt that as long as he was with the person who understood him, it didn’t matter whether other people loved him or not. , Or worry about themselves. But does he really think it doesn't matter. No, his heart was full of anger, so he killed the little animals in the class, killed his father's beloved dog, and deliberately killed his little sister, but was stopped by the coming father and grandmother.

Everyone remember the note he left to his father,

"Dad,
/Eaten lunch already/
and gone to/
The Brooklyn Museum of Art/
having fun with Nunu and Lily."

If you are careful, the initial group of each sentence It is DEATH-a hint that death is about to happen.

So this is the story of a child who uses his high IQ to retaliate against his parents because of jealousy, and to live with his uncle who feels he loves him. At the end, when he finished singing that song, his uncle's expression, perhaps remembered what the child's father told him?
