For this movie, I don't like it, nor do I hate it. The only thing that keeps me thinking is how the tragedy happened and how it can be changed.
It can be said that a large part of Kevin's mental deformity is caused by his mother's indifference to him, but despite this, what Kevin wants most is his mother's love; and he hates the most in the world. Man, is still his mother. Therefore, he killed his father and sister, but only spared his mother - both to love her and to take revenge on her.
Does my mother love Kevin? I think the answer is yes. Although Kevin himself thinks that his mother is just used to his existence, during the two years that Kevin was in prison, the mother who abandoned the old house was the only one who kept Kevin. Wen's everything is completely restored in the new house, which is not as simple as getting used to. But this is too ironic - when the mother finally shows love, it is the time when she can no longer save it. Indeed, the birth of Kevin may have been more of a surprise than a surprise to her, but this is not the reason why she treats Kevin indifferently. She thinks that her reluctant tenderness is the greatest dedication she can do. , can please the little fart child in front of him, but the child is sensitive, they can feel the indifference of the mother. The difference is that some children show all their cuteness in order to please, but Kevin, who has inherited his mother's sharpness, chooses to uncover his mother's disguise again and again - this difference cannot judge who is right and who is wrong, because the child's The original intention is to gain the mother's attention and love. The only time Kevin showed dependence in front of his mother was when he was sick, and then the next day when he felt better, he spoke ill of his mother, why? In fact, it is easy to understand. A and B were in conflict. One day, A greeted B unintentionally, so he was very annoyed and felt that he had no face. In order to "save" face, he found B to humiliate him viciously. This is It was the bridge between Kevin and his mother, but the mother didn't realize that "humiliation" was just Kevin's weapon in the imaginary battle with his mother. Dependence and loneliness were the real Kevin after disarming. .
And when people are pointing the finger at the mother, I think we need to talk about Kevin's father too! ! In this family, the father seems to be the one who loves Kevin the most, and Kevin seems to get along best with his father, but why is Kevin able to kill his father? I think part of Kevin's love for his father was performed, another weapon he used to sting his mother and avenge her ignoring him. What really cares about a person's performance? It's not that you can show him the brightest smile, it's that you can't even fake a fake smile to him - Kevin's expression is always sarcastic, even angry when facing his mother. It seems that the father is indeed very pitiful - the son is too focused on the struggle with the mother, and as a result ignores the tenderness from the father. But is the father a completely innocent victim? impossible. Throughout the film, the father seems to never see the growing problems behind Kevin's death, and he never pays attention to the hidden dangers revealed in the bitterness revealed by his wife. He just acts as a comforter, comforting his son when his son is injured, and comforting his wife when he is sad wife, but he was not a mentor, never really set out to help his wife mend her relationship with her son. That being said, he is also indifferent.
So what is wrong with Kevin? Of course! He was so deeply involved in the "Battle Against Mother" that he wrote, directed and acted, so that when his mother tried to make up for it many times, he seemed to see her mother's weakness and attacked it aggressively. At first he hurt his mother for love, but later he hurt only for hurt. This finally made me understand a sentence - if you always pretend that you can't hear your real thoughts, then one day you really can't hear anything.
The tragedy has already happened, and no one can get rid of it. In reality, I just want to tell the parents that what you need is not talk about Kevin, but talk with Kevin.
