The movie "The Book of Henry" belongs to the story of a genius boy. Personally, I am more interested in such movies, and I envy geniuses for their extraordinary talents and amazing wisdom. Maybe the reason for liking it is that I really want to be like a genius, but when I return to reality, I am an extremely ordinary person. The theme of the film should be "What is more terrible than violence is indifference". The genius Henry has higher abilities than adults, and his maturity makes his mother feel like a child. He is knowledgeable, well-read, loves inventions, and is good at managing money. He has the ability to keep his mother from working, and has persuaded his mother to change a new car many times, but it is not that he has no money. He is the man of his family. However, Tian was jealous of Yingcai, and he died of a malignant brain tumor. Before he died, he found out that his neighbor girl was being bullied by his stepfather (a police officer who was "respected" by outsiders) (but it wasn't obvious in the movie, but the ending confirmed it should be like this). He found that the girl had bruises and depression. He reported it to the principal, but the principal did not call the police because there was no definite evidence. Then he wanted to use his own method to help the girl solve the problem. He began to carefully plan a murder, and recorded all the process in a red book, and asked his brother to pass it on to his mother. The main focus of the movie is on the things recorded in this book, the records are very detailed, the things are considered in great detail, various methods to solve the problem, such as reporting to the child abuse center, calling the police and other useless methods, and ultimately there is no choice. , how to withdraw money, how to buy guns, how to create alibi, how to choose a sniper location, how to lead people out, etc. All the details are recorded on the tape, and he can even have a conversation over time and space, he can guess everything about his mother Action, to be able to understand a person so well, in addition to praising his observation, it should mainly reflect his love for his mother. . . At the last moment of the sniping, due to a small accident, the murder did not succeed. This is where the movie succeeds, Henry's wisdom has been proven, but the problem-solving approach is too childish. The ending of the movie is that the principal chose to call the police after seeing a dance of the neighbor girl at the school talent show. The neighbor girl's stepfather committed suicide, and the custody of the neighbor girl most belonged to Henry's mother. . . The background of the whole movie should be that the stepfather bullies the girl, and then Henry wants to solve the problem in his own way, but the bullying is not reflected in the movie at all, and it fails to mobilize the audience's hatred for the stepfather, which is the lack of a little bit in the development of the later story. Pushing, the stepfather committed suicide after a whistleblower call from the principal, which made me a little confused, so I could only guess. . .
Of course, the movie also tells about the happy life of a single mother with two children. When I saw the period when Henry was hospitalized for surgery, it really made me want to cry. Although Henry has left, he will always live in the hearts of his mother and brother. . .
