In the heart of a child, love is boundless. (Through drama. The story is complete and the ending is realistic.)

The plot is quite simple.
The protagonist had a car accident with her husband several years ago, and her husband died in a car accident. For many years, the protagonist could not let go of his dead husband.
The protagonist works in a nursing home, facing some demented elderly people all day long, living in this kind of abnormal life all day.
The protagonist loves her husband more than his son. The son was born and the husband died on the same day, and the protagonist was not mentally prepared to accept the tragedy. The son came to this world when he was most miserable. Out of responsibility, the protagonist had to raise him. The protagonist even hates his son's touch.
When meeting with my sister, my sister will only talk about the protagonist as a trash can. It seems that other women have husbands, and everyone is very happy. These people often have to mention their dead husbands in order to uncover their naked wounds, and a kind of sadness spreads.
Because he doesn't love, he allows his son to grow up. The children seem to grow up crookedly, speak straightforwardly, and are nurtured to an unpleasant personality. The protagonist's indulgence led to his son's unpleasant character.
The protagonist has no hope for life, he is in a trance all day long, and suffers from insomnia every night and night.
Babadu is the protagonist herself. When all the pain turns into a mental disorder. One day, this book appeared. She tore it, picked it back, and drew the true inner desire in her heart. She is eager to vent violently, and she is eager to deal with the child whom her husband did not want after his death. Why is it so miserable that I have to take care of a child by myself. Why are other women in the world happier than themselves. The protagonist watched the happy people on the TV slowly turn into ugly, screaming like the devil in her own heart.
The protagonist has become a lunatic in our lives. The behavior of a lunatic is also terrible in real life, not to mention that it is very well held in the movie, and it really feels mad.
Most movies express boundless maternal love. This movie expresses the child's love for the mother. This is one of the real themes of this movie.
The son has long known how much his mother hates him. A positive mother, the one who speaks softly. There was also a mother who spoke badly on his own. The son called this mother Babadu. Babadu is here, and the son wants to drive away the mother who hated him. So every time the mother began to be ferocious, and the loud reprimand began, the son would scream that Babadu was coming. In order to drive away the mother who hated him, the poor little boy started a series of preparations. The son said to the gentle mother, you have to protect me, and I will protect you too. He wants to protect the gentle mother and drive away the mother who doesn't like him.
Even if the mother choked his neck, the son still did not give up on his mother. He wanted to protect the gentle mother. Drive away mother Babadu, from now on there is only a mother who loves herself.
The protagonist is a contradiction, she knew the problem was with herself early on. She said she was sick, she said she did not come out of the shadows. She knew it all. Maybe she wanted to be gentle and try not to express her negative emotions, but she couldn't control it and couldn't control her negative side to run out.
This war was won by the son.
The dark side will exist for everyone. All of us have a dark side, and we all experience some negative things that can cause permanent shadows. The key is to learn to hide, learn to converge, and learn how to handle your own positive and negative aspects correctly.
The son won. He asked his mother to suppress the negatives again. In front of him, from now on, it will always be the mother who loves him, and the mother who will protect him. And he will protect this mother forever.
Sometimes when we depress for too long, negative emotions will burst out instantly. When we calm down, we will become gentle humans again. A little touch will make us temporarily forget all unpleasantness. This is not exactly the portrayal of our lives.
However, darkness always exists. The protagonist is normal again for the time being, but I believe Mother Babadu will definitely reappear. One day the protagonist felt unable to suppress those sad moments.
The ending of the movie is also very complete. In this kind of war, the son uses love to save his gentle mother. Unfortunately, it is only temporary. There are countless battles that need this poor little boy to start.
The protagonist keeps his Babadu in that room and feeds it so that it will exist forever. Just as the darkness of our human beings will last forever, that is not something you can completely get rid of. When there is yang, there is yin. When there is day, there must be night.
The core essence of this movie: if you can suppress your evil, then you are a kind and gentle person.

    After seeing it, I found out that at this time of the year, my mother will have a seizure. Babadu is the inner demon that will appear when you are most vulnerable.

    The imitation and tribute to German Expressionism makes it easy to think of Bruno and Elena, who also transformed into a new avant-garde image experience in the aesthetics of old-fashioned films. In fact, they can be made more pure, such as making silent films directly.
