"The Home of the Beast" is about "how to heal itself from loneliness", a boy's lonely inner world, the movie is a bit nonsensical, but that is the child's world, imaginative, many adults may not understand, which reflects the lack of education for many adults, right The upbringing and education of children only stays at the material level, ignoring the inner growth of children. It reflects the current situation of many families, which is of practical significance and worth thinking about. Without the company of family members, adults are always busy in their own world, ignoring the fragility of children's hearts. The little boy Marx was completely lonely in his heart, no one understood his world, so he was angry, so he tried every means to attract attention, and finally angered his mother in a naughty incident. So he fled, took a boat, crossed the sea and accidentally broke into the home of the beasts. The boy faced these giant threats and lied that he was the Viking king. These lovely but equally lonely and happy people regarded the little boy as the new king, hoping to be able to bring them joy. They play games together, build castles together, and are really happy. But the contradictions between everyone are irreconcilable, and the loneliness is still inside. Carol, the monster who is most similar to the little boy in his heart, was disappointed and made a loud noise. But in the end, everyone forgave the little boy and was very reluctant to leave him. The little boy finally grew up, returned home, and understood his mother better. I think everyone can find their own prototypes. Maybe everyone has a period of inner loneliness that no one understands, just like Hua Chenyu's lyric "Only me, looking at other people's happiness, can actually feel emotional." But as far as I am concerned, loneliness itself is a piece of poetic soil, loneliness is a kind of freedom, you have to make good use of loneliness and strive to fill the emptiness in your heart, this soil will eventually bloom with unexpected flowers. I think this is also a kind of self-healing. Although this is not the main theme of this film, this film aims to call on adults to pay more attention to their children's inner world. The education and upbringing of children should not only stay at the material level, but the inner growth of children is the key!
