Let’s look at Javier Dolan’s talent for writing, directing, and acting again objectively. He wrote this story at the age of sixteen, and started filming at his own expense at the age of 17. Later, he encountered a small setback due to funding problems. Finally, he was assisted by SODEC, an agency of the Canadian government of Quebec. A small growth adapted to the market, converted the commercial production concept into the shooting mode of an independent film, and completed the entire film at the age of 19. And won three awards for art film, SACD and youth vision at the Cannes Film Festival, representing Canada to compete for the best foreign language film at the Oscars, etc. Considering it with such a distinctive and young and promising background, it is even more worthy of admiration. Appeared.
Dolan, who can tell stories, gave the film a good start. This kid is obviously very assertive and has unique views on things. He is artistic, and has a sensitive heart, a keen eye, and a philosopher to think about problems. The habit of knowing how to draw the audience into his monologues and life, when no one else knows anything about him.
At the beginning of the movie, Maupassant's words, like the literary cells injected into the blood of the story, use the idealized and redeemed mind to affirm the deep-rooted love between mother and child. Then, in black and white, the sixteen-year-old boy Hubert began to question the truth of his education.
In Yu Bell's eyes, his mother seems to be a special case. The mother's tasteless preferences, worldly vain temperament, stubborn ignorance and stubbornness will grow lifelike appearance from frames full of gunpowder smell. . Of course, the mother also has a lovable and lovely side, but only the back is left pitifully, and it is buried in the memory of Hubert before the age of four. Sometimes life doesn't love everyone, and if it abandons adults, adults abandon their children with unconscious ruthlessness.
The cream on the cake was randomly smeared on the corners of the mother's mouth, and she kept licking the remaining cream and cake crumbs on her fingers. The mother's indecent eating in front of the protagonist Yu Bell was like a dazzling light, irritating him and making him unable to. Restrained expressions of contempt, rolling eyes in disgust, as well as subtle psychology and behavior.
Mother put on lipstick while driving, and lied and denied that she ran a red light, and always absentmindedly dismissed Bell's claims. This kind of war where talent meets soldier is unreasonable, and inevitably in the high octave roar, quells, arches. Get up, calm down. However, my mother still doesn't understand that she is getting farther and farther away from the forward era. She is lagging behind the new social order and new way of life. That is a problem that needs to be thought through with the brain, rather than blindly stealing the bell and temporarily imprisoned by the parents' obscenity. The peace that the spirit of the weak can preserve.
My mother loves Bell very much, but the hardships of raising her alone and the hardships of life change her invisibly. She blunts her sensitive emotional cells in self-preservation, and only numbs herself with senseless and solidarity. So she loves haphazardly, clumsily, and knows nothing. She didn't know that Yu Beier was gay, she didn't know that Yu Beier's spiritual world needed the warmth of a home, and she didn't know that once she tried to change herself, it would not only not be catering to the child or submissive to the child, but she would gain respect and return it to her after her life. She doesn't know how her role model destroys a teenager's entire fantasy of a beautiful and possibly even female image (mostly it is nature, but it cannot be denied that some sexual orientation or treatment of marriage and other sexual relations The subversion comes from acquired growth education, unfortunate encounters, extreme hatred). However, she has a firm will, trying to get rid of all the pressure she is unwilling to bear, which is like a human instinct. Therefore, her greatness is lost in her unlovable actions.
In the face of such a mother, who must depend on her and cannot live independently, he performed extremely well. His semi-autobiographical statement has been verified. He is not acting, but presenting himself. Hubert's life is like this, love and hate intertwined, I have to say, I have to endure and helplessly try to correct everything that annoys him, because obstacles are a big mountain, and the woman who made the rebellious teenager so crazy is his mother. . Perhaps here are some points that contradict the previous ones, which are conveyed in Dolan's calm and objective lens. In a single-parent family, the child is the victim of tragedy, and the mother is also the most sympathetic poor person. , For the sake of their children, they abandoned themselves, most of them involuntarily. Therefore, empathy is an effective way to resolve conflicts, as the female teacher said: You can't stand your mother, and maybe your mother is sad because of having a son like you. Speaking of this, Hubert is immature and selfish. In the clip near the end, Anthony points out that Hubert only thinks about himself and never thinks about others. It is a hateful disguise with pitiful disguise. This kind of personality is in the We grew up with real beings, and we weren't all right.
This is how the story between Hubert and his mother began. After experiencing a hysterical confrontation, in exhaustion and despair, while imagining the funeral of his mother after her death, he walked towards the unforeseeable but inevitable future. The name of this movie is very good, not only related to the plot, but also thought-provoking moral. In the movie, the female teacher who published essays and novels for Hubell and submitted for the newcomer award, when she exposed Hubell's lie, the joke, you killed your mother, is not only the theme of Hubell's literary works in the play , is the title of this movie again, which seems to be a very mature and meticulous logical structure.
This kind of plot choreography, which is no accidental inspiration in Dolan's debut novel, seems to have formed a very skilled narrative structure. Among them, the load-bearing walls supporting the full weight are assigned to different faces. Hubel and his mother are one group, the story of the female teacher and his father is another group, and the other group is the relationship between Hubel's boyfriend Anthony and his mother. But this is not a single parallel. The supporting roles involved, classmate A of the boarding school, Hubert's father, Anthony's mother's boyfriend, even in one shot, they are closely connected with the protagonist of the story, family affection, eroticism , Contradictions, conflicts, friendships, illusions, discrimination, all-encompassing, but not contrived, smooth rhythm, very dramatic, constantly showing the life of a terminally ill mother and son, revealing the reality of an unsound family background.
When it comes to the gay love between Hubert and Anthony, the gimmick of the movie may be male sex and gay sex, but the theme should be the coming-of-age ceremony that is generously exposed when breaking out of the cocoon. Between the novel and the essay, the hoarse roar and breathless impatience, the purity and peace protected by the mother and the drugs, fights, indulgence and absurdity in the boarding school, outline the end of adolescence in the movement. In the troubles and confusion about growth, I use a very special but resonant case, through the image of me preserved in the DV diary, to push the society, school, and family to the stage of discussing growth education, in an unshakable environment. Between me and me, a series of social issues that deserve to be redefined and decided.
In short, the movie "I Killed My Mom" is a very particular movie. Whether it is the picture or the soundtrack of the film, it is silently conveying the good taste of the young director Dolan. It has classical solemnity and artistic heritage, as well as modern impetuousness and breath of life. For a character like Bell, the genius who came to the world with the talent to eat from his mother's womb may also be insinuating himself. Indeed, most of them are eccentric and talented eccentrics. The most important thing is that when rationalizing his sexual orientation, although there is no explicit shouting or explaining whether it is rooted in nature, he can somehow smell his complaints, the change of temperament has a relationship with the family, and everyone is self-righteous. Living, hurting others, and refusing to be hurt, but there is nothing I can do to my inner self. At the same time, the various feelings brought out by the story made the viewers suspect that Yu Bell wanted to bring in many famous comrades and seniors to help him out, and the pride and fatalism of being in the company of them were strong, which is understandable. Everyone likes the world.
Perhaps, cruelty itself is the main theme of growth. What does Dolan say at the end? The jumping clips, the golden idyllic scenery, the mother in the wedding dress met him in the distance, he chased hard, shouldn't he come to this world? He curled up in the bathtub like a baby in his mother's womb again. He peeled off the tear mole on the face of the mud doll that had always represented his mother. He joined his mother's fingers, and the happy picture before the age of four was resurrected. Over time, love dissolves all hatred, and Dolan may have fully understood the eternal cleavage between him and his mother. There is also the meaning of introspection. Only when you grow up will you understand mothers. They are so beautiful and lovely.
