Kevin shot his father because of his father’s apostasy, because his father’s relationship with him has gradually changed from being on the same front with him. Mother stood together and abandoned him indifferently.
Kevin shot his sister because her birth was a denial and provocation against him, because her mother loved her the most.
Kevin shot his classmate, because he walked one step at a time from anti-mother to anti-family to anti-social, because he wanted to use this method to complete the ultimate revenge against his mother.
He hates his mother so much. Almost everything he does is aimed at his mother, in order to make her uncomfortable, but he does not directly kill the mother. This is the McGuffin motif of the film and the center of it. point. Let's talk about Kevin. It is exactly why Kevin doesn't kill his mother and what happened to Kevin.
1. Kevin was
born. When Kevin was born, the mother was not ready. She didn't know how to hold the baby. Kevin kept crying like this. The mother had nothing to do. She even pushed the baby Kevin to the construction site to use the construction site. The loud machine noise was used to cover up baby Kyle's crying, on the contrary, the father was able to make little Kevin happy. Focusing on this section is very important for understanding the film. A pair of natural enemies has taken root since this time.
2. Kevin’s sprain
may be a bad memory of his mother when he was young. Kevin had a huge sense of rejection of his mother. In addition, the mother’s education and communication at this time also had problems. The grudge between the mother and the child was not resolved, but worsened. Lie, little Kyle deliberately sprayed his mother’s beloved map with ink, deliberately pulled poo in his crotch, and deliberately spoke with contempt until his mother threw little Kevin aside, and little Kevin broke. He cut his small arm and left a scar that witnessed the break between mother and child.
3. Sister is born
Since Kevin's sprain, the conflict between Kevin and his mother has been irreconcilable. Maybe at this time the mother is trying to repair the relationship with her son, but the son is already holding the two normal spirits of "I will do everything that makes you uncomfortable, and I will not do anything that makes you comfortable." He persecuted his mother, molested his mother, and said "I’m just like this, what can you do to me, you have a kind to kill me!" In view of this, my mother can only let Kevin fend for himself, but there is nowhere to vent her mother’s love. What to do, so she carried her father and little Kevin on her back and got pregnant with her sister. At this time, the mother has grown into a qualified mother, knowing how to take care of children and how to raise babies. Compared with the nurturing that Kevin received when he was born, the changes in his mother made Kevin hate even more.
4. Father
has always stood by Kevin's side before changing the festival. Whether it was Kevin who made a mistake or the illusion that Kevin deliberately framed his mother, his father was unswervingly helping Kevin speak and slandering his mother. However, the incident of allowing Kevin to join the army made Kevin completely desperate for his father. His father was his last straw, but he felt that his father had abandoned him ruthlessly. Thus, a murderer just morphed out and flew out of the cocoon.
As a result, Kevin’s roadmap for the evolution of the murderous mania is clearly on paper. What happened to Kevin. Kevin walked all the way like this. As for why Kevin always targeted his mother and didn't kill his mother, it must be because this kind of revenge is more enjoyable. This coincides with Park Chan-wook's "Vengeance Trilogy", which belongs to the kind of ultimate revenge that is deliberately deliberate. After Kevin was imprisoned, his mother's normal life was gone, and people would be rushed up and slapped as a "smelly bitch" during walking or working. From this, we can see that Kevin’s revenge has achieved results. Death is a relief for her mother. Lao Tzu will let you live. Life is better than death. Therefore, it is irresponsible to use Kevin’s natural homicide and natural perversion to explain Kevin’s behavior trajectory. Kevin is not crazy. It is very important that Kevin is a normal person, whether he treats his mother or evolves into a murderer. Crazy, he is all sane, and this is his carefully planned game.
Eva to Kevin: "I want you to tell me why." Kevin: "I used to think I knew. Now I'm not sure."
As for the last line of Kevin at the end of the film, "I thought I knew it before, but now I am not sure". The meaning is: I didn't understand my mother's love for me before, but now I finally know that my mother loves me. Everything that Kevin did was to prove that his mother didn't love him. Since she doesn't love me, I have to let her know that I don't love her as well and make her suffer. However, even in this situation, his mother still did not give up on him, she still insisted on visiting the prison, and still felt sorry for her son. This is maternal love, which is exactly the same as Bong Joon-ho's 2009 "Mother".
The tomato carnival opened the blood-red curtain for the film. Tomatoes, red wine, strawberry-flavored jelly, rear brake lights, red oil paintings, red skirts, lipstick...Red has become one of the most important "props" of the film. It implies that there is a huge tragedy hidden behind the mother played by Tilda Swinton. At the same time, the two threads of "mother now" and "son back then" are triggered at the same time, cross and parallel. At the same time, most of the time, the director relies on the language of the lens that still holds the pipa half-hidden to convey the ideological connotation. There is not much dialogue and the suspense creation is very good. As for Kevin killing his father, his sister and classmates did not have any bloody and violent close-ups. Instead, they sprayed water on the dark green grass. The arrows of father and sister fell to the ground, but there was a kind of still life and tranquil beauty. Kevin shot the classmates during the ceremony. The general salute also adds to the ghostly atmosphere. It also directly reduced Kevin’s guilt in the hearts of the viewers, and the director also deliberately did it, paving the way for his mother to be tolerant and tolerant of Kevin.
Tilda Swinton contributed a perfect performance. His thin cheeks fit the face of a hard-pressed mother, and his restrained anger and forbearing humiliation are just right.
