Her original intention was to make her two sons live in harmony. She claimed that the brothers were the most important relatives in each other's lives. "One day, you will be the uncles of each other's children." For this reason, she also set up a reward and punishment system. , if they can coexist peacefully, they will be rewarded, otherwise they will be punished.
Next, the mother did a series of stupid things. There's nothing new about these stupid things. As you know, in this world, there are smart people in their own way, and stupid people in their own way. Having said that, when we see a stupid person, there is sometimes a fretful intimacy, because you find that there are often such people around you, or simply yourself.
Greg's brother Roderick holds a rave party at home while his parents are out and asks Greg to keep it a secret for him. After the parents came back, they still found the clue and questioned Greg. Greg couldn't hold back and leaked the secret. What are the consequences of Greg's leak? Parents with a little heart and a little brain know that this will make Greg's brother hate him. But his mother was so angry that he was going to confront Roderick.
She was stopped by Greg's pleas, Greg said: "If you ask Roderick, he'll know I'm a whistleblower, and my kids may never get to know Uncle Roderick in the future." His mother When you hear it, hey, why is this so familiar? Oh, come to think of it, those are her own words. Shouldn't she have asked his brothers to love each other a few days ago, and let them kill each other now? After thinking about it, I had to endure it first, and this matter will not be investigated.
But she didn't hold back long enough to betray Greg. Of course, we can also understand that she was so angry with her eldest son Roderick that she had to expose him as a responsible mother. She and her colleagues, colleagues in family education, and the father of the child, destroy Roderick's dream together - in the name of educating Roderick. Needless to say, Roderick hated Greg to death, and Greg was naturally "better dead than alive".
To be honest, when I watched the movie, I was very irritable, because I knew that there are many parents in the world, and in the name of love, they put their children in a situation of "life is better than death" without knowing it. The word "love" is like a panacea, as if it is the premise that all cold violence, all negligence, all power, all stupidity... can be forgiven. Finally, Greg realized by his 10-year-old instinct that he couldn't count on his parents. He had to rely on himself to turn around and change his oppressed destiny. With his 10-year-old wisdom, he decided to exchange kindness for Roderick's kindness: to help Roderick realize his dream and perform in a rock band on the "Got Talent Show". He succeeded. The law reflected here can basically be summarized as: the older people are, the more stupid they are. Brother Roderick is dumber than Greg, and mother is dumber than Roderick.
Of course, when I say stupid, I'm not stupid in the ordinary sense, you know. In the "ordinary sense", his mother is not stupid. On the contrary, she is a cultural person, a person with an ID card. Ironically, it is her profession: she writes a column on family education in the newspaper.
Or you can replace the word "stupid" with "insincere". I feel more and more that, in many cases, wisdom is nothing but sincerity.
At the end of the movie, Greg's mother was suddenly moved, awakened, or, in other words, stimulated by Greg's kindness to his brother, and she actually made a move that was very different from her image of a godmother: she gave Luo Luo on stage. Derek's band dances. You know, how enlightened a mother needs to be to drop the air and dance to the rock band of her teenage son in public. The director's original intention is probably to explain: this mother and child have reached understanding and harmony. However, can a mother who has never understood her child at all, a stubborn mother with a sense of superiority, can achieve "instant understanding" with her child? This isn't science fiction! Uncle director, please follow the character development of the characters, okay?
Movies are always so unrealistic. The people in the movie can always reach an understanding before the end of the movie, and the people in the movie can always be influenced before the end of the movie. It's really lazy. To use the words I just said, it's too insincere. Is life so easy? Is making a movie like this to deceive children? No, in fact, children are often smarter than adults. It should be said: Is making a movie like this to deceive adults? However, those parents who seem to be stupid are actually better than monkeys. They don't need to lie, they only choose what they need to believe.
