Hermaphrodite, charming Boy.
I have always liked Ezra Miller, of course from "Wallflower Boy".
The teenagers I like are of two polarities, one is Curly Jesse ("Social Network", "Squid and Whale"), Logan ("Wallflower Boy"), Michael ("Crooked Boy Scott", "Zhu The protagonist of “No”), they are sensitive, smart, enthusiastic, direct, and shy, and they will be very interesting boyfriends. The other pole is Ezra. He is cruel, bold, unobtrusive, good taste, badly bad, is a party animal, a focus of attention (even if it is a spoof), and an eternal luminous body. After thinking about it for a moment, it probably can only be grouped with Johnny Deep's young, rebellious and charming period. They are breakers, the tornadoes in your life. And the personality is very consistent with the screen image.
The movie needs to endure (maybe a lot of) discomfort before it can be watched. In fact, it is very simple to sum up: the growth experience of a boy who was born with anti-social personality-how he brought a strong love for his mother and inexplicable Her hatred, punished her by killing her father and sister, and then shooting her classmates on campus, making her a living in the neighbourhood spurned.
I don't think there is much practical significance in making various serious discussions on the relationship between mother and child. The film only elaborates on viewpoints and phenomena, and is more of an abstract model of family coexistence, for the sake of existence in an aesthetic sense. It is similar to "Need to know that unevenness is the truth of life." Or even this story is out of the imagination of the author.
So many people talk about and express their childhood shadows and the various relationship obstacles caused by the problems of their native families. This has almost become a major theme in literature and film creation. But think about it conversely, raising a child with almost original evil is simply a parent’s nightmare. Even Tilda, with her queen's aura, has grown from a literary young woman with long bangs, loves to travel, smokes cool, and falls in love, gradually becomes a short hair haggard, numb, indifferent, exhausted mother, until Kevin After committing a crime, she fell into the abyss of immortality and became a destroyed woman with messy short and medium hair, but did not completely give up resistance. Her pain and huge internal friction were shocking to see. (The queen's acting skills are simply superb.)
This movie completely reversed the tragedy that has always occurred in family relationships, which has almost become a call sign, "Parents are sins." Of course, the mother was also a victim of this tragedy. She lost her youth, beloved husband and daughter, and was unable to approach Kevin for more than ten years without any effective communication. Could it be said that the pain, numbness and indifference brought about by this intimate relationship nourished Kevin's motives for evil and made him an incomprehensible juvenile delinquent?
After Kevin was imprisoned, his mother silently endured curses and harassment from neighbors, and the house was splashed with bloody paint and was wantonly humiliated by insignificant male colleagues. Even if it comes from the victim's family, isn't this kind of moral lynching and endless psychological torture, isn't it extremely unfair? This kind of moral lynching is so familiar to us, but this time, the plot reversal shows me the director's deep meaning, the evil you see may not be real. The perpetrator you think is actually the victim.
If you deeply hate Kevin after watching the movie, it just shows how good Ezra's performance is. He accurately interprets a lunatic, an anti-social personality criminal, his innate hatred, his desire to destroy everything, in the intimate relationship he can do his best to hurt his mother and his late-born sister, and use the illusion Coaxing father, the most must be the fierce, obscene, provocative, nonchalant eyes that my mother showed when he was hit by the masturbation... from time to time, people ooze a chill.
This is an irreparable original sin boy, and also an irreparable and reflective family relationship.
And all these details are from the performance of a 19-year-old boy, natural, smooth, and easy to come by, as if this is his body. There is no limit to the way boys play.
Ezra Miller, he is a born alien. He is a born performer. He is the opposite of harmless to humans and animals. He is a bad boy who reverses all beings. It's so charming.
