How did Charlie's shady sociopathic personality develop? In the film, only a little bit of information is revealed through the mouth of little Charlie's mother: the original text Jing loves to read, but her personality changed greatly after she fell on a bicycle and injured her head. It appears to be medical reasons. Is there anything else? I'm also curious about Charlie's story before he came to town. The movie does not use a long length to express Charlie's cruelty and ruthlessness, but first uses the reaction of the little Charlie's family to create a smart and amiable outstanding talent image, and then let the detective break it, a chilling demon image slowly. Emergence, no bloody scenes but more terrifying. I was particularly impressed with Charlie's gloomy expression as he listened to his sister's recollections. He is gentle and patient with his sister, with affection but no love. He doesn't love and doesn't feel loved. In fact, how much does the little Charlie family love him? His presence was just an adjustment rather than a necessity for them. Life in a small town is dull, people are mediocre, and Charlie brings a touch of color to them. A big family with several children, parents who are busy with work and housework, a sister who loves to dream and sigh all day long, a little sister who talks, and a brother who is naughty, the pots and pans are noisy and annoying. But Charlie's charisma keeps the family organized and warm for the time being.
I don’t know if everyone feels the same way. There is such a relative who is handsome, interesting, caring and lovable. When he came to visit you, he told you about wonderful experiences that were diametrically opposed to your boring life. You were very happy with him. After he leaves, you will have a brief reluctance, and as time goes by, this reluctance will gradually dissipate. Occasionally you miss him when you're bored with the trivialities, and the misses last for a shorter period of time. It's great that he's in your life, and it's not a big deal if he doesn't come. Charlie is actually just such an existence to the little Charlie family, an interesting relative, a close outsider. The elder sister is gentle and ignorant, and has never tried to enter his heart. Little Charlie's love is based on fantasy. It is a waltz, some prose that hurts spring and autumn, barren and limited, not to mention other people. Charlie will also bring them gifts. They only expect nothing from Charlie, aren't they selfish? After watching the movie, I just felt that all the people in it were ruthless.
[The plot of the movie is very simple, and there are some unreasonable parts in the second half, but the flaws are not concealed, and the characters are created really well! Charlie, a cold-blooded stranger who coexists with danger and warmth, the little Charlie family has its own characteristics, a friend who loves to tell crime stories, two detectives, a maid, and a passer-by police to promote the plot, and the character structure is simple and exquisite. In addition, the use of musical elements also enhances the film a lot.
