This is a movie about doting. I'm just from another point of view, tossing aside various reasons.
The little boy's girlfriend died of his mother's doting on her, and the mother said to her: I have done a lot to you, you are still in school, but I let your boyfriend live at home. . . . The girl hugged her mother, and she died of the doting and indulgence of the family. You can think that this boy is obviously what we call a problem boy in China, or a gangster. A little more intervention could save her daughter. Actually, I thought the Pope was going to kill the girl's family and her brother who was playing games when he went to find the boy, but that was not allowed by the film reviewers.
The boy's grandmother, doting on his son, turned out to be his earliest awakening, but his late son was killed by the police first. Then there were the deaths of sons, sons, of their mothers, doting and domineering.
Lawyers and politicians have always been disgusting and irreverent things for Westerners, so I won't say much here.

Animal Kingdom quotes

  • Joshua 'J' Cody: Mum kept me away from her family because she was scared. I didn't realise it at the time, but they were all scared - even if they didn't show it. I think even Barry Brown was scared - even though he never showed it. Everyone felt safe around Baz. He'd punch your head off if ya got in the way - if he was in the middle of an armed robbin', you got between him and the door, he'd put you on the ground and not think twice about it. But he was good to me, and to everyone else. Darren was only a couple of years older than me. When we were little kids, he was like, my best friend. We used to throw rocks at cars 'n' that. He had a way better BMX than me - my bike was shit. My Uncle Craig moved really fast, like... he was tryin'a stay in front of somethin'. And Grandma Smurf - she just seemed to wanna be wherever the boys were. And she just wanted to be around whatever the boys were doing. But they were all scared, even if they didn't show it, even if they didn't know it exactly. Even if they were having to do what crooks do all the time which is, block out the thing they must know. They must know it - which is that crooks always come undone - always, one way or another. In Melbourne at this time - this is a while ago now - the armed robbery squad was out of control. They were shooting guys willy-nilly and gettin' away with it, and they'd been after Baz and my family for months. But the guy they really wanted, the guy they really hated, was my other Uncle - Uncle Andrew, but everyone just called him 'Pope'. He was hiding in a motel room somewhere 'cause he heard he was next. Craig was sellin' drugs, he was sellin' lots of 'em. He had a detective in the drug squad helpin' him do it - a guy called 'Randall Roach'. They'd meet in a fish shop in Footscray, 'cause Craig loved fish. An' I dunno - all this seemed strange to me, but not strange either, you know what I mean? Kids just are wherever they are and they just do what ever they're doin', you know? This is where I was, and this is what I was doin'. After my mum died, this was just the world I got thrown into.

  • Craig Cody: [after handing J. a handgun] Go get him.

    Joshua 'J' Cody: And do what?

    Craig Cody: Let him know who's king.
