The film is actually very simple. The world is too dark, and parents are unable to fulfill their duties. They expose ugly and cruel things to children prematurely, so that these innocent hearts are distorted and deformed because they cannot bear it. In the end, the world is even darker. . This process never seems to end, unless there is a Carl - a fool.
Thornton plays this fool, with a stiff and weird expression, an engine-like sound, and raised trousers - when he first appeared on the scene, he gave the impression of a murderer, but as the plot progressed, it was gradually discovered that he was only injured. The little rabbit, in the end, makes you unable to tell whether he is an angel or a devil.
Children cannot choose families, and many children are born into families that are not adequately prepared. Especially when there is an unfortunate major change in the family, it is the children who are most affected. It is often said that "the children of the poor are at home early" and "suffering is a fortune", but the reality is that the seeds of hatred are more likely to grow in the hearts of poor children who suffer, and those who lack life support will respond to them in their own way. Society retaliates and then gets even more punished and abandoned by society - which reminds me of The Perfect World again.
The little protagonist Frank in "Switchblade" was lucky to meet Carl, but what about in real life? Where can I find the person who would rather throw everything away to help you? However, the fact that the film shows us this fact is worth thinking about, so it is also respectable.
The rhythm of the film is very slow, especially the 8-minute monologue shortly after the opening, which quite challenges the patience of the audience. Fortunately, I persevered, some sad, some helpless. Billy Bob Thornton, the indie production also earned him an Oscar nod.
