The little boy acted so delicately. Let's try to analyze the psychology of the little boy:
His mother's long-term chemotherapy, the pain of facing the loss of his loved one at any time, made him very tired, and he even had the idea that his mother was dying to end everything.
But the 12-year-old child dare not face up to his dark psychology. Of course, he hopes that his mother can find a suitable therapeutic effect.
At this time, the people and things around him were full of alienation and exclusion, especially when his grandmother appeared with a strong attitude. Grandma offered to let him live with his mother. Of course he would be afraid and disgusted. The presence of grandmother did not show that the mother's treatment was not only not ideal, but was too bad to take care of him? He refuses to believe it, and he clamors to go back to his home, where things go smoothly.
Grandma's presence shatters the "I promise it's going to be okay" lie that his mother spun for him. Heartbroken and angry!
Immediately after his father appeared when he needed love the most, he certainly yearned for his father's love, and he revealed the only age-appropriate innocence in the whole film; riding on the merry-go-round, feeding the seagulls, and playing with his father. But the joy was short-lived. His father refused to accept him because of "the vacation in the United States is short and I have to go back", "there is your half-sister and stepmother at home, and the house is too small".
He should be sad and lonely deep in his heart. He actually knows that his mother is dying, but his father has his own family, and he can only be with the grandmother he doesn't like. It was as if his parents were about to abandon him.
When he bid farewell to his father, he plunged deeply into his father's arms for a long time, and resisted his impending collapse, and pushed his father away. This detail shows that he is a stubborn and vulnerable child growing up in parting and pain.
His classmates, his grandmother, his principal, and his teachers have one thing in common: whether he destroys the house, or even breaks the clock handed down from the great-grandmother's beloved grandmother, or even beats up his classmates. No one punished him, and even he took the initiative to ask "Aren't you punishing me?" Those adults resisted their anger and said naturally, "How could I punish you?"
Why didn't everyone punish him? Adults will feel: Because his mother is sick and needs mercy. But for a 12-year-old child, he will feel that everyone treats him as an abnormal child, as if pity him, the classmates will not play with him, adults dare not speak hard, can not integrate into the environment, as if invisible Same.
Therefore, the more he was pitied, the more he wanted to be rebellious. He deliberately stared at the tallest classmate who was the most difficult to mess with, let others beat him, and deliberately sabotaged him. This is his silent vent on his current life!
The last is the mother's love, which can also be said to be the fairy tales that his mother told him when he was a child. The truths he taught finally played a role in him, let him grow up, and let him know: Human nature is complex, and there is no absolute good or bad; If you have faith, you can't live without faith; venting and destroying can't change anything; and dare to face your heart, even if it is dark.
As the saying goes, the child who knows the child is more like a mother, although this child does not study hard, fights and destroys, is not sunny and cheerful, and does not socialize. But my mother knew that these were temporary and never criticized. Even if he refused to talk to his dying mother because of anger, his mother told him, "Don't regret it in the future, because I understand you." Mother knows the nature of children Yes, the truth has been taught, just understand that it takes time.
Even the mother understands the situation of the child so much because she also experienced it when she was a child. It is very likely that the grandfather died when the mother was a child.
The mother passed on the "King Kong" that her grandfather took her to watch and the fairy tales (beautiful qualities) told to her children.
In the end, the mother looked at the tree spirit and smiled, because she heard the truth from her son, she knew that his son had grown up, and she was relieved.
Let's talk about why the director uses magical monsters and tells stories with monsters to package the story. Just like a beautiful flower, the singer will describe it with singing, the poet will write the most gorgeous rhetoric, and the painter will describe it with a pen. No matter what kind of carrier is used, it just wants to express: Here is a bunch of flowers.
Therefore, the storytelling of the tree spirit is just a better way of expression, and the most important thing is the emotion that the director really wants to convey.
