In terms of behavior, carrying those self-made bows and 'weapons' with them, whether or not they actually hurt others, is enough to make other children and teachers in the school feel vigilant. After all, in peaceful times, it's hard for you to have a good impression of a person who is armed.
Externally, this child is completely ignorant of friendly social interaction. Internally, he has repeatedly made his mother collapse with this sharp attitude.
In the face of this long-term insomnia, haggard-faced, and messy-haired mother, he could not even achieve basic peace, and repeatedly persecuted his mother with various incidents and screams. Yes, in this part, when I watched the movie, the biggest feeling was, hurry up and throw this bear child out, let him and her rest for a while, it is simply a disaster.
However, as the film progresses, when dealing with the conflict between my child and the outside world, the mother's method makes me gradually feel that it is the mother who needs treatment and help more than the child.
First of all, let's not discuss the part about Babadu. In the film, the child caused the first catastrophe, which should be carrying weapons to school. School leaders, dissatisfaction with children is normal. After all, he did something wrong when it came to carrying weapons.
Therefore, the school wants to guide the child personally through a one-on-one guardian. Only direct and close contact can find the root cause of the problem, even if it is a psychiatrist, it is just such a process.
The school's intention is good, even if the mother cannot accept such measures, which are similar to surveillance. But at least, she should pay attention to one problem, her child does have obvious and serious misconduct. There may be problems in his mind, and she can't solve these things.
Although before the school, she repeatedly stressed that when she returned, she would severely criticize him. However, this is the manifestation of her unawareness of the seriousness of the problem at all. What her child lacks is not harsh judgment, at least, he should receive counseling from a psychiatrist.
Of course, when the problem was so serious that even she began to hallucinate, how did she deal with it?
She never believed in ghosts, and even tried to call the police, so when she saw Babadu, she knew it was an illusion. However, she did not seek a psychiatrist herself, nor did she allow her children to receive treatment from a psychiatrist. Her solution was to prescribe tranquilizers to her children.
She already knew that she couldn't sleep well at night, had chronic insomnia, and even had hallucinations. But she still doesn't go to therapy, instead feeling that as long as her child is put to sleep, she will not be molested. Yes, after putting him to sleep, she still couldn't sleep and sat in front of the TV all night, but she insisted that the child take medicine.
In fact, many small plots have repeatedly protruded, and the mother's mental state is not good.
Her best friend tried to talk to her again and again to get her to let go of her attachment to her deceased husband. However, her attitude became sharp in an instant. Later, she complained that a certain wife's remarks at a friend's party made her feel that they were not in the same circle at all. No matter whether the wife is really showing off how good her life is, at least, for seven years, the mother should not be in such a state of being in a state of explosion.
If you always feel that your life is not as happy as other people's happiness, then no matter what other people say, you will feel that they are showing off on purpose.
Of course, in that meeting, my mother's best friend also spoke out. It's not that I've been talking about myself and I don't care about you, it's that you have been unwilling to talk to me about your dead husband, your dead end. The line that may not have been spoken is, I don't even know where to start helping you, because you feel like a mess of yarn.
There is a short paragraph, it is said that the mother was walking in the mall and ate ice cream on the sofa for a while. After recovering, I suddenly found that there were 10 missed calls. Normally, no matter how noisy the surrounding environment is, 10 missed calls will be noticed by normal people to some extent. But my mother didn't realize it at all. In fact, at that time, she was already very stunned.
Then came the part of Babadu, because it was seen that there was a problem with the mother's mental state, and Babadu had always been invisible to others. At first, I thought it was just my mother's hallucination due to excessive mental stress.
After all, there is a saying in mental illness that patients with depression may not necessarily suffer from insomnia. But people who suffer from insomnia for a long time will definitely suffer from depression. And a person with insomnia, irritability, and even hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, and then schizophrenia, is too normal.
So, when the mother seemed to vent and said why it was not you but him who died in the first place. I finally saw that my mother's heart was knotted, and the source of hatred came from love. I think that her hatred of children comes not only from her husband, but also from herself.
This mother, although she also loves her child, she is very cowardly. So, in the face of her husband's death, she couldn't even admit that, in fact, the sentence 'Why wasn't you the one who died?'. It wasn't her children that she really wanted to say to someone, but herself.
Therefore, her inner demon, Babadu, the person who finally wants to kill is not her child, but herself.
However, she was pregnant with this child at the time, how could she die at that time? So, her inner demon also asked her to give birth to this child. In the face of this kind of death-seeking self-punishment, giving birth to a child is like escaping punishment. Therefore, when the inner demon said this sentence, the meaning became, like, giving birth to this child has an evil purpose and should not happen.
Finally, to end this runaway incident, it was the child who was previously thought to be a bear child, a disaster star. He brought back his mother, the 'normal' mother, with his true love, never leaving her.
Of course, at this time, the mother completely believed the facts about Babadu. Because of the child's misleading, she thought it was a real monster.
In fact, the film includes the child being pulled away from the stairs, smashed against the wall in the room, etc., and even the cracking of the room, the vibration of the bed, etc., all of which can be the mother's own hallucinations. The only real thing may be the child lying on the bed and hugging the mother's back.
So you see, when the monster hides in the basement, the mother runs after the monster, and the child runs after the mother.
Originally the child could not understand what is schizophrenia, he will only say, you are not my mother. The explanation given by the mother herself is more in line with the child's fantasy. The two of them have constructed a secret world, a monster that only they know.
