Speaking of Charlie's childhood, it is exactly his childhood. What made him shy, lonely, and autistic? Many people say that it was because of the death of his aunt when he was a child and the suicide of his friends that he was hit hard. What I want to explore here is why these changes have a huge impact on Charlie. The death of relatives and the departure of friends at a young age are actually normal in life, or things that have no drama. How can the film support the follow-up story? You must know that Charlie is not simply lonely and autistic, but has a serious mental illness and cannot get out of the shadow of his aunt's death. There are many clips of Charlie and Auntie flashing in the film. At first I saw that my aunt treated him very well and took care of him and bought him a birthday present. Then he died in a car accident because of buying a birthday present for Charlie. Then, it slowly showed us something different. When Charlie was kissing Shan, the flashing scenes of his aunt touching him, as well as what the psychologist told his parents in the hospital, all hinted that Charlie had been molested by his aunt when he was young. This experience of being molested caused a deformed change in Charlie's heart. And what kind of feelings does Charlie have for his aunt? Looking at the flashing clips again, when Charlie's aunt entered his house, he was standing on the steps without an expression of excitement and joy. This lens gives people a sense of disharmony, and I have been entangled with me during the filming process. If his aunt is his closest person in his heart, every time he sees her, he should be happy and excited, so it makes sense that the subsequent death of his aunt will have a huge blow to him. Charlie didn't. His expressionless face might also have a hint of fear, which has nothing to do with being trivial. Charlie yelled when he became ill in the second half of the film, maybe it was his aunt who killed him, maybe he wanted her to die. Does he really hate his aunt? But there are still guilt and heartache, unable to extricate themselves. Speaking of this, maybe I have to talk about Shan's childhood. Regarding her first kiss, she told Charlie that it was given to her father's boss at the age of 11. Whether it is forced or active, there is no too much description, but it is not difficult to explain the past that Shan has been reluctant to talk about and look back on. Charlie, who had the same experience as Shan, was forced to take the initiative. That similar childhood was a period when they both formed their personalities. Charlie and Shan went to two different extremes respectively. This is where the film's harmony and contradiction lies. Back to Charlie, every time he gets along with his aunt, he can't see any struggle or resistance. In addition, the death of his aunt has caused indelible trauma in his heart, like losing a loved one, and unable to get out of sorrow. It is not appropriate to say that Charlie hates his aunt completely or completely loves it. Perhaps it is a kind of feeling that is afraid of ending but loves deeply. It's like checking the ideal phenomenon To be honest, if one of us died of cancer, it would be better to break up. It's like the same forbidden love between Patrick and his boyfriend. Without external force to separate the two, one of them still can't get out of the fearful and continuing love. After all, Aunt Charlie is Charlie's first TRUE LOVE. How does Charlie's aunt treat Charlie? The unhappy marriage and life, Charlie’s aunt also has a twisted heart caused by the irresistible past. Perhaps it is impossible to feel love and being loved, perhaps Charlie can give her the missing emotions that created this taboo. Love. When this forbidden love suddenly ended, it was a relief for Charlie, and it was also a painful parting.
