Indeed, it's not just Romanian child poses.
From the first scene, the dialogue between the mother and the sister-in-law, you would think that she was talking about her husband and cheating lover instead of her son and girlfriend. Her jealousy and arrogance made people feel that the mother-son relationship was extraordinary.
This extraordinary one was followed by two strange hints.
The son's appearance is around the 20th minute of the film, but he has appeared in every scene before that; in the first 10 minutes of the three scenes, one is the opening two-person dialogue (the son drives his mother out of the car), and the other is the birthday party ——Display of upper class status (the son was not present), the third is the mother and the servant talking about the son's room (material purchase is her constant means).
When we came to the opera scene, we saw that the scene setting of this scene was very interesting. It looked like a two-person show, but there were three "actors" on the stage. One of them, a female director-like character, kept pointing fingers at the other two male and female singers. , At this time, the incident came, and the concubine came to find the heroine (mother).
Then there is the scene in the car. On the way to the police station, the two have already started looking for a relationship. We saw the discussion between the two, plus the husband's mobile phone call, without mentioning the dead child. The center is all about their own children. guilty or not.
At the police station, the victim's appearance was shown in a violent image, which was later called "the gang of animals" by the mother. She saw the beastly nature of the other party's beating her son, but she could not see the cruelty of her son's killing the other party's child. The son showed up while the mother was still on the phone to the police chief. The son turned out to be an adult with a beard, which is really surprising. Before that, through the dialogue description, I thought it was a rebellious child who didn't care about the world, but it was the image of a middle-aged man. The director is ruthless! Yes, even though he looks like an adult, he acts like a child. The mother insists on asking her son to change the speed of the car. This plot point kills two birds with one stone. On the one hand, the relationship between mother and son is highlighted for the first time, and on the other hand, it paves the way for solving the next link.
The next step is the blood test. Things like "passage" are everywhere, even in medical units. In fact, whether or not there is a "relationship" cannot affect the results. . The son is also self-centered, who is this inherited?
Back at the mother's house, this "strange" reminder came, the mother changed into suspender pajamas (without wearing a bra) before helping her son apply the ointment, and finished facial skin care, and took a look in the mirror before leaving; touching her son The hand on the back went all the way down, taking off half of his panties, then massaged, starting from the neck, and the camera stopped at the time of massaging his buttocks. She has a certain sense of satisfaction.
In the next scene, discussing countermeasures with his father in the morning, confirming twice at the police station (adding the plot of the police officer communicating with her, social reality), going to the son's house to pack his clothes, we see these in this scene The plot, one is to look through the bedside table to see the lubricant (peeping at the son's sexual affairs), the second is to pull down Carmen's hair when taking the bath liquid, and then rinse it with water (the son's girlfriend is considered unclean), and the third is to urinate without closing the door ( Animality occupies territory), her possessiveness is evident.
Back home, the family of four gathered, and a conflict broke out because she didn't buy the right nasal spray, even though she thought the expensive one was for his own good. The son also scolds the father for being useless, and the cowardly person is also in the nest. This way of getting angry (not getting what he wanted when he was a child) is still childish. By the way, when the mother gave the son a mobile phone illegally taken from the car, the first sentence he got in his hand was to ask his girlfriend, do you have a charger? While the serious issue of going to the victim's funeral was being discussed on the stage, a broken mobile phone was important to him. People's sense of security escapes from nothingness.
Although she turned her face, her mother still went to witness. She did not forget the flowers of Women's Day. She was a woman and a mother. This was her vocation for herself. This conversation took place in a shopping mall, and the noise outside highlighted the theme of the conversation, why is my son speeding and overtaking? Because he was unhappy to be blocked by a Mercedes Benz. "He kept following me, and when I let go of the speed, I gave way, but I increased the speed to 110. If I hadn't accelerated, maybe he wouldn't have been speeding, but I can't say I can't." The dialogue is very good, The witness itself is not a good bird, the son's overtaking is not only "super" but "biao" mentality, it is such a delicate (the car represents wealth status) competition, a child crossing the highway died, and died tragically. The mother understood, and then a detail appeared, that is, the witness took away the 20 euros on the table to change, and put down the 100 euros, what did the mother say you mean? I'm also a little unsure. Is this a witness statement, which means he won't give in at the price of 80,000 euros?
Immediately followed by the conversation between the mother and daughter-in-law, sitting in the kitchen, the daughter-in-law drinks tea, she drinks, and the daughter-in-law opens the cupboard to be full of alcohol (implying that the mother later said that her son did not drink alcohol was a lie, and that the son was in a car accident, the father was the first to ask if he was drinking and driving , it can be seen that the son is a drinker), I like Carmen a little from this scene, she can see the "truth", the son's immaturity and cowardice, no matter how he urges his mother not to interfere, she still finds his mother to replace him Witness, she knew this was the truth, and couldn't get rid of the dependence, they broke up.
The third "strange" prompt came after the mother came home to count the money. When she woke up in the morning, she had a smile. What is she laughing at? Does her son belong to her again? Everything back under her control?
At the end, the son and the mother negotiate first. The content of the negotiation appeared at the beginning - "I will take the initiative to find you, a month, half a year, a year, don't bother me", who believes that the result will be different this time? At this time, the ex-girlfriend was walking around behind her back, and someone outside the window was playing the sheets, da da da and dong dong dong, there was no escape and no solution.
"May his soul rest in peace," finally, through the mouth of Carmen (an "outsider"), through the mercy of God, the mother said a human word, although she did not go to church very much (no mercy in her heart). However, what we see is selfish and ruthless. She can't be as young as others. Her son is another her. How can she lose herself? Even Carmen couldn't stand it anymore.
But what kind of son did the other party lose, the son who loved his mother, the ordinary son who would call his mother to report safety after school, not the best son who was broken, alive, and the best.
The end of the whole film is a long shot. The mother sits back in the BMW and weeps restrainedly. Even if it is a mother, she probably feels superior to others. She has never really felt heartache for the dead child, and she has not thought about losing a child for others. Pain, she just kept the money at the end, because she thought it was good for you (for my son, good for me). The son asked his mother to "unlock" before getting out of the car. We couldn't hear what he said to the father of the other party. We could only see in the mirror that the other party reached out and shook hands with him. Perhaps it was reconciliation or forgiveness. Turning around, the son cried, and got back to the car. Does he regret it? We hope so. And now the mother has no tears, she is about to start the car, because the matter seems to have been resolved by her means. black field.
Only, can she represent motherhood?
Some people associate this film with Li Cangdong's "Poem", and I also think of Bong Joon-ho's "Mother". Between crime and family ethics, what is human nature?
