The director creates a god-like child in order to win prizes. Such behavior should be despised.
Girl Joey was kidnapped and kept in the basement for 7 years, giving birth to a little boy, Jack. After the child's 5th birthday, she designed to escape, and was finally led by the child out of the haze of life.
The absolute male protagonist in the movie is this little boy Jack.
The heroine Joey's is reasonable, and her stress response is very intense after 7 years of confinement life. She regarded her son Jack as the meaning of her life, which also explained why Stockholm syndrome did not develop. Her belief is to protect her son, so she has always been opposed to the old Nick who kidnapped her. This is also the reason why her nerves will not collapse. The mother is the son, and the plan is far-reaching. She didn't want the child to spend his whole life in a small room, so she designed Jack to go out to ask for help.
After Joey was rescued, getting along with others and his attitude towards each other were also true to life. Joey's mother was distressed and wanted to comfort Joey; his father was distressed and didn't know how to face his daughter; reporters chased and intercepted interviews in order to grab news; the doctor deliberately created a relaxed atmosphere to talk to Joey and his son. In the face of the goodwill of ordinary people, such as doctors, Joey can maintain decent politeness; facing reporters who are not so well-intentioned, his heart is full of resistance; and he has suffered tremendous mental and physical harm. These anger and grievances only Can vent to parents. It is worth mentioning that the stepfather plays a warm and quiet role.
But in any case, the damage that Joey's life in prison for 7 years has brought to her cannot be easily wiped out. So Joey was so immersed in pain that he chose to commit suicide to end his pain. After being rescued, it was also because of his son's spiritual support that he had the courage to face life again.
If it is said that Jesus came to accompany the world through hardships and lead the world to the hope of life, it is reasonable. If you put it on a boy who grew up in a small room, it would be extremely unreasonable.
Jack's birth, his whole world is a room of several square meters, his mother, and old Nick. Apart from his mother's dictation, his knowledge of the world is through television cartoons. In the past five years, his mother did not describe to him what the real world is like, so in Jack's cognition, only two people alive can touch and see.
Joey was kidnapped in the basement for 7 years. Although the director showed great restraint, he was raped and beaten up. Although Joey has his son Jack as a spiritual support, the endless abuse and great loneliness, on the one hand, she will find a way to solve it, and at the same time, the love for her son is the only beautiful thing in this time and space, and she will also push it to the extreme. She would definitely not treat Jack like an ordinary mother in life, but desperately protect him. Jack can see everything that happens in this small space. It is conceivable that when Joey is hysterical, Jack will also suffer mental torture. Ordinary children will gradually have a psychological shadow, but this is still the tip of the iceberg that Jack has experienced.
Then Jack’s life at 5 years old is like this. Old Jack is a bad guy, but Old Jack can bring food and daily necessities to their mother and son. Since the memory began, he was afraid of the arrival of old Nick, but also looked forward to what new things old Jack could bring. When Old Jack came over, he was hidden by his mother in the cabinet, but through the gap he could see his mother being beaten and hear his mother's wailing. He was too scared to make a sound. At first, he might still tremble, maybe pee in fright, and slowly get used to it, just hoping that old Nick will leave as soon as possible. In normal life, his mother pulled him to exercise and play games almost every day. Sometimes his mother cried alone and sometimes yelled at him. He was very scared, but his mother cried again while holding him. He knew that his mother would not be angry at him again this time. He could only hug his mother tightly, afraid of losing her.
Such a Jack is extremely sensitive. After escaping from the room, he is extremely insecure. He cannot leave his mother for a moment and loses control at any time; or he is dull and unresponsive to surrounding stimuli. What is his ability to guide others? Let's look at how the director handles Jack after he escaped. In the face of his grandmother and other people, he was timid and afraid to speak at the beginning. After getting acquainted, he can play with neighbors and children. The communication with Ji-grandpa only acted like a shy little boy seeing a stranger. Especially when the mother was finally relieved, it was like the second coming of Jesus, using love to caress a wounded heart.
There are fatal flaws logically, so the story of this movie does not hold. Is it just Joey who suffers from stress again? The rape violence that Jack had seen since he was a child did not show any impact on him. For a little boy who has never seen the world, it's normal to have Jack's reaction. It can only be explained that Jack is the incarnation of God, and his birth is to save Joey.
