Everyone knows, ☞ Aunt Nao has two lovely and handsome sons.
And there is a ☞ trouble aunt starred in the movie "The Book of Henry" (2017), which also has two handsome sons sensible.
The eldest son Henry (Jaeden Lieberher) is 11 years old.
The youngest son Peter (Jacob Tremblay) is 6 years old.
A family of three enjoying themselves.
Aunt Nao usually works in a restaurant. As a single mother, she does not need a husband. When she is not at work, she plays games at home and tells stories to her sons.
Or have a drink with an ambiguous female colleague or a good girlfriend.
Such a relaxed and carefree life is really because Aunt Nao has a talented eldest son , so that she does not have to worry about the size of life .
To say that Henry is a genius, it is better to say that he is a very precocious child.
I read books, research, and do experiments all the time.
He also built himself a cabin for experiments.
At home, he is the " financial manager ", helping his mother take care of the daily income and expenses of the family.
Help my mother trade stocks.
Teach mom how to use financial software on the computer.
I will also teach my mother how to cut taxes and remind my mother to stop going to work.
He also cares for his younger brother like an elder. In everything, he will let his younger brother make props snow and pretend to climb the snowy mountain to make his younger brother happy.
Carefully taking care of the innocence of his younger brother's age, he does not want his younger brother to mature as early as him.
Just like a little adult .
Teachers at the school suggested he could go to a gifted school for a more "advanced" education, but Henry believed that studying with children his age would help his physical and mental development .
Because of his precocious maturity , Aunt Nao's best friend treats him completely as his ex-husband Hank, and even calls him Hank, and the dialogue between the two is often like an adult.
Aunt Nao said to her best friend that she had Henry and couldn't find a more mature male species than Henry .
Maybe only a boy's mother would shy away from other people's little princesses. Aunt Nao especially likes the little girl next door and her son Henry's classmate Christina.
But one day, Henry finds out that Christina has been abused by her stepfather .
He ran to the principal and asked the school to call the police, but the principal refused him for various reasons .
He personally called the police, but found out that it was a relative of Christina's stepfather who called the police, and the case was over.
Auntie Nao also stopped Henry from trying to help the violence in the supermarket .
"Violence is not the worst thing in the world," Henry said.
Mom asked, "What's the worst?"
Henry said, "Indifference."
Just when everything seemed to make Henry unable to do anything, he was suddenly found to have brain cancer , and it was terminal!
This is definitely a blow to this little family! Aunt Nao washes her face with tears every day.
Although he longs for his mother to spoil him like he loves his younger brother, he is too precocious and always asks himself to act like an adult and not let his family worry.
In fact, the physical abnormality started as early as three or four months ago, but Henry always hesitated .
Henry 's attitude towards death and disease is beyond ordinary and wise .
Before dying, Henry has to do two things -
① Make sure the family has a stable income after his death.
He made a detailed post-retirement financial plan for his mother, and left the family's $680,000 in demand deposits that he usually obtained through stock speculation , as well as some stocks and bonds .
②Kill the neighbor's domestic abuser!
He wrote a well-planned "murder" plan in a red notebook.
He asked his brother Peter to hand over the red notebook to his mother when he died .
After the completion of all this, Henry most eventually do return a child , shouting "Mummy" fell in downtown aunt's arms. Quietly leave.
"Henry's Book" is Henry's elaborate plan to murder a neighbor's violent man. This "last wish" was fulfilled by his mother and auntie.
In order to make his mother act for him, he also carefully recorded the sound , every step was like what was happening on the scene, and he encouraged and comforted his mother all the time.
Aunt Nao began to get busy. According to her son's plan, she changed her car, bought guns and ammunition, practiced shooting, and arranged the murder scene.
For a while, Aunt Nao even felt that her son had not left her , so she couldn't help but talk to the voice on the tape recorder.
On the night of the school's talent show, Aunt Nao acted according to the "Book of Henry" plan!
The montage the movie uses here is very smooth.
The tense rhythm culminates in Christina's ballet performance, which cuts to the scene of her mother helping her deceased son uphold justice.
Just as she was about to pull the trigger, she saw a photo of her son growing up.
Aunt Nao terminated the plan to murder a domestic abuser.
The reversal of the film is the highlight of the whole film, just like what Aunt Nao said——
"No, you're just a kid."
There are no extra lines, just right to remind everyone who is out of the matter, this is just a child's idea.
however thorough and impeccable it may be;
No matter how talented and precocious Henry is.
It's just a ridiculous childish plan!
As a mother who has depended on her son for a long time, Aunt Nao "grew up" overnight .
It's more like a movie for precocious kids.
The confrontation between the mother and Christina's stepfather seems to be childish, but it is telling those impulsive precocious children that treating bad people with violence is not the only way.
Christina was domestically abused many times, even suggesting that Christina's biological mother was also killed by her stepfather's domestic violence. These violent and dark pictures were not really for everyone to see.
What everyone saw was the magic show of the youngest son Peter.
Peter said that his magic is called " reproduce my brother ", and when the magic is over, my brother will appear among everyone.
What floated out of the box was the prop snow that my brother used to make him happy, and it fell on everyone.
The flawless frothy snow and the confident smile on Peter's face instantly recalled the vision of a better life after the trauma.
Meanwhile, Christina's stepfather committed suicide .
Every growing child, whether gifted or precocious, is unique and valued and loved.
The ending was as expected, and the little girl Christina became a new member of the troubled aunt's family.
His younger brother Peter also matured after his brother's death.
He slept on his brother's bed; took off his glasses and imitated his brother's appearance; continued to study his brother's unfinished scientific experiments in the cabin.
Henry used to forbid his mother from talking dirty in front of Peter.
With his brother gone, Peter "supervises" his mother himself.
Aunt Nao eventually burned Henry's red notebook and tapes.
To solve violence, what we need more is love and tolerance .
Henry said: " What can we leave to the people we are fortunate to have? At this moment, even if we are in the mud, we must do our best to be the best. "
