I didn't want to write this, but because of the word limit, okay... In fact, I don't like this movie at all. Just based on a feeling, if you have to ask why, it may be because it is unrealistic and unrealistic in reality. There are too many realities in the middle, and in the end it is nothing. All the synopses I've read about this movie say that Christina was abused, but I always thought it was sexual abuse, maybe it's a female instinct, but think about how Mom Henry saw that From the expression on the scene and the disgusting she said afterwards, you can understand that the sexual abuse is not without evidence. But whether it's Abuse or Sexual Abuse, it's a terrible thing, and that's part of the reason Henry made the murder plan, and part of the reason Henry chose to uphold justice for himself is his insight into the hypocrisy of human nature.
There is a scene in the movie when the mother and son are going to the supermarket, Henry notices a man being rough with a woman, he wants to go to help, but his mother stops him. This will be what most people do, both in the movie and in reality, and I don't exclude myself, sinful human beings...but from Henry's point of view, a kind and pure kid, he's just starting out with this The world gets along, but he finds that everywhere is full of violence, evil and selfishness. He can't understand it, and he can't ignore it like adults. So when he knew what happened in his neighbor's house, and repeatedly asked for help to no avail, he chose to defend justice by himself. But it seems that God is too jealous of his talent, and has planned for a long time, and finally took his life. His extraordinary first half of his life is over, but even if he is gone, his extraordinaryness will continue, the last wish of an incredible murder plan.
Henry's mother has always relied on Henry, and when Henry died, his mother's world collapsed. She didn't know what she was going to do for a moment. After some twists and turns in the middle, she still decided to implement Henry's last wish - to kill Glenn - here It's the climax of the whole movie, but it's also the anti-climax, because she goes against the wishes of Henry and the audience, and instead of pulling the trigger to kill Glenn, she reveals that she is the insider, but as a mother, she still does it right At that moment, she remembered that she is a mother, and the child is a child, and the child should not have any contamination with sin and blood. In the end, the principal of the school found justice and a happy ending.
In fact, from the very beginning, under the premise of knowing the storyline, I knew that the murder would not succeed, just like White in "Breaking Bad", no matter how he escaped, he could not avoid the fate of being killed. Why? It's the law and the rules, and it's for the general public, so The Shawshank Redemption won't win an Oscar either. Funny enough, Glenn is White's brother-in-law in Breaking Bad, but he's a good cop and a bad cop.
But I still don't understand, since they can see and have seen so much, why don't they record it as evidence, even if they send it anonymously to the newspaper and the police station, they have to shoot it, forget it.
Presumably out of audience concerns, neither the abuse nor Glenn's headshot suicide at the end was given a shot.
