The director's intention? ——Cult

I don't know what to express. It is purely my own cult film, but the result is to make the audience applaud, but in the end, the grandparents are also cannibals, so I don't know what the director wants to express. But it is possible that he is the illegitimate child of his mother and other men? But in the end Grandpa said he looks like a father? This may not be a problem we need to care about. Maybe the only thing the director wants to tell the audience is: all human behaviors and thoughts are not innate, but will be affected by the environment. I believe that Mike’s father also experienced the horrible act of cannibalism by his parents when he was a child. Dad was assimilated by his parents in the end, but Mike did not. He always maintained the fear he should have in his heart instead of losing the awe of this fear. He was not assimilated into an ogre. Although we have been encouraged to overcome our fears and become stronger since we were young, we must remain in awe of things that should not be touched. What should not be touched? Believe that normal people should have counts in their hearts, right?

Also, the little boy's acting skills are very good.

Generally speaking, it is purely a cult film, so you don't have to worry about the meaning of the ending. But for cult movies, the score is mainly based on the creativity, the plot and the meaning are not concerned, I think it is worth four stars.
