Wikipedia describes this as an excellent psychological thriller. With the birth of the second child, the family has various problems. The child has no reason at night, the mother is mentally weak, and the father finally finds out that all this is related to his 9-year-old son Joshua. When I checked the movie introduction earlier, I remembered a sentence, which probably means that you don't know what your child looks like in a place you can't see. It seems to emphasize that the evil of children in this movie is unusual. But it's not just that, it's not just that.
At the beginning of the movie, Joshua was playing football. His father received a call from his wife to give birth and dragged Joshua home, but after he let go, Joshua stood across the road and stopped, even though his father shouted. , he never crossed the road. He tried, but the car in front of him suddenly whizzed past and he backed away. He might have been afraid to cross the street alone, perhaps?
When I got home, Joshua was playing the piano, my mother was holding my sister Lily, my grandparents and my uncle were sitting around, and my father was holding a video recorder. Oh, I forgot to mention that their family has the habit of video recording. They were talking, smiling, Joshua was playing the piano, they had an argument, Joshua was playing the piano, Mom said if she could stop playing and give her sister a quiet place, and Joshua closed the piano. Parents focus most of their attention on their newborns. Joshua goes out for a walk alone with maybe a dog. Joshua studies at school alone. Joshua is attracted by the story of an Egyptian mummy. Joshua sends him away. All his toys, and make his favorite doll into a mummy step by step, he said, so that it will be immortal and not forgotten. Joshua said he didn't like football and he didn't like baseball, and yes, I don't think he liked it either. Joshua watched his tired mother and dissatisfied father play his old tapes at night. He saw that since he was born, his mother had become manic, debilitated, and collapsed, and he saw her mother holding a video recorder in front of the mirror, crying, and kept telling himself, I'm OK.
Later, her sister Lily began to cry frequently, and her mother became more and more broken down, tending to the appearance of Joshua as a child. She even began to listen to Joshua's intentional or unintentional hints, and felt that the room was not clean, and began to have auditory hallucinations and trembling. , I fell on the quilt and hurt my foot. The dog raised by his father's job is not smooth, and he is constantly affected by the tension at home, and he begins to become interested in other women. Later, my mother was finally isolated and sent to the hospital. Later, my grandmother came to take care of the house. Later, when my father left the job and went home to watch the videotape, he stumbled upon Joshua going to frighten Lily at night, causing her to cry. Later, grandma and Joshua stood together. He turned his head and fell to his death at the bottom of the stairs. Later, his father felt that there was something wrong with Joshua, and even thought that Joshua pushed his grandmother to death. He began to take precautions everywhere, slept with Lily, and locked all the doors of the chest of drawers. Later, my father invited a psychiatrist to talk with Joshua. He saw the gloomy and bloody pictures painted by Joshua. He felt that Joshua had mental problems, but was accused by the doctor. The doctor believed that Joshua had been abused.
He felt that he was giving in step by step. Later, he said that he would transfer Joshua to another school. Joshua hid and cried. He found the scar on Joshua's body, but Joshua said, it's nothing, it's always the case. After all the dust settled, Joshua and his father slept, fed his sister milk powder in the morning, and went out for a walk together. When he left, his sister cried again. Dad felt that Joshua had taken Lily's doll and asked him for it, but Joshua just ignored him, He imitated what he said and didn't answer him a word. My father got angry, pulled him down, slapped him, Joshua turned his head, but smiled, he said, no one loves me. The father suddenly started beating him like crazy, was seen by others in the park, stopped him, then the father was tried, beat the children in public, and there was a doctor's certificate that Joshua had been abused, and it was even suggested that he changed his wife's medicine .
In the end, both parents lost their ability to support, and Joshua and younger sister were raised by uncle.
Joshua was sitting with his uncle, playing the piano, and he sang.
"You know they never really ever have to love me.( You know they never really ever have to love me
No, no, no.(
But no one will ever love them now.(
Oh, oh, but they.(
They always thought that somehow they could save me.( Me,
but why oh why?
For pity's sake, they should have saved themselves.(
Oh,oh,but you.(
You always said I never missed a note.( You always said I never missed a note
And nobody ever knew me like you do, you do.(
You always said it's gonna be ok , ok (you always say everything will be ok, ok
I only ever really wanted to be with you.(
Joshua believed in stories from Egypt, he liked Character, even if grandma didn't like him, but he liked it, he said, because he made an order, re. Joshua also made an order, he felt that parents, grandma, are not good supporters, so he cleaned up step by step , and finally made the order he wanted, and the only uncle he trusted became the supporter of him and his sister.
In this story, Joshua is very smart, too smart, he doesn't like football, baseball, but he still does well, his teacher even suggested to his father that he jump two grades in a row. He is not only good in IQ, but also very intelligent emotionally. He feels the neglect of his parents and the inadequacy of his parents. He knew that the mother's lack of spirit in raising children, and also saw the father's weakness, he knew that his grandmother was overly religious, and he knew that his uncle always trusted his behavior. But he's always been calm, doing everything calmly and getting the story to go the way he wants it to.
I don’t understand his mother very much. She should have known it earlier. She can’t take care of them after giving birth. She is too fragile and sensitive. She is too prone to neurasthenia and postpartum depression. She was reluctant to hire a nanny, so she and her husband endured the unbearable pain life with her own hands, but it was already so painful, so sad, she had to have another one, another weaker. Why? I can't understand this at all. Because you want children, love children? But what did she bring to the child? Blind self-love and broken spirits, wounds and medicines.
Grandma once said to my father that this is not a home, this is just an apartment, not a home. You can't be so childish, little man. I always felt that my father was very responsible and helpless. In such an environment, I would go crazy. He seems to be doing really well, but I think he is really avoiding something, but I can't tell.
The psychiatrist decided that Joshua was being abused. I always felt that was not the impression that Joshua was deliberately giving the doctor the impression that he might have been abused. The angle that cannot be seen in the most intuitive angle of the film has been abused. Perhaps from Joshua's eyes, this story is no longer what you thought it was.
Maybe all of this was really caused by Joshua step by step, maybe he just watched calmly without stopping, I don't agree with this way of handling things, but I can't refute, this bloody and clean method is the fastest and easiest, The least worries, the most able to reset the order.
To say that Joshua is indifferent, cruel, bloody, seems to be too cruel, but too smart, calm and smart, calmly gets what he wants, even if he pays for it, it doesn't matter.
In other people's comments I see two divisions of the part. Some emphasize Joshua's wickedness, arguing that his nature was dark and destroying what he didn't want. Some people emphasize that parents' deformed love is irresponsible. There are also many people who stand at the extreme extremes.
Some people think that Joshua is evil, and this evil may come from the source, he is the devil. There are so many ordinary parents in the world who don't know how to love their children, but he chose to use extreme means to destroy these unqualified guardians and choose his own choice. It doesn't have to be, it shouldn't be. Even if they didn't give him enough love and raised him, he shouldn't have acted like that. Some people also think that Joshua stands in the perspective of the devil, looks down on the life of the world, and regards it as dust, it is better to destroy it.
Some people think Joshua didn't do this out of jealousy either, like the last song, they didn't have to love me. I think Joshua didn't give up the family at the beginning. He struggled and worked hard. He gave too many hints. I hope the family can pay attention to his original appearance, recognize him, and give him love, but no, what nothing. If he was just jealous, why would he do such a thing with his IQ, it would be good to deal with the source of jealousy, but he did nothing to his sister. Apart from frightening his sister to cry in order to stimulate his mother, he has no extra behavior to get rid of his sister. All he wants is a reasonable order, if not, it will be broken and recast by him.
I don't know if Joshua was like this by nature or acquired it. I have to admit that most children would not choose such a neat and even bloody approach. But I don't really agree with the so-called, parents raised you, even if you don't know how to love you, even if you don't love you, you shouldn't take revenge. Both the positive and the negative of this point of view exist in the comments and cause controversy. In this world, there are many ordinary parents like Joshua, who do not know how to love children but think they love children and impose superficial love that they understand, but there are very few children like Joshua, who are nine years old. The one who reorders, enforces, overturns parental rules that cannot be chosen or even changed. Therefore, most people just endure like this, and live together with all living beings. Many people love their parents, or grandparents, the closest caregivers, but let’s talk about how many don’t hold grudges against them. It's just depth, it's just performance, it's just that everyone knows if the wound is torn open. Some people love them, hate them, and love hate them. It's just that some people's hatred is so obvious, and some are hidden in their hearts, deceiving themselves and others.
A few days ago, my friends and I talked about a lot of things in elementary school, many things that I couldn't forget even if I had a bad memory. In those roots, push me to bury dark things. In this way, there are several protagonists in the story who are teachers, my teachers. I said, I don't hate them, I think they don't have the pleasure of hatred, and I can even greet them happily when I see them. I was silent for a while, and then I said, I don't hate them, but I want those people to know how many bad things they have accidentally or intentionally done in what they think is the right glorious career, so that they can see themselves clearly , I hate myself, instead of living a happy and calm life, why. Why do they think that an innocuous sentence has caused so much harm and shadow to others, but they can know nothing and pass the matter safely. Maybe I really hate them, but I'm not very good myself, subconsciously, I prevent myself from having such a dark psychology, but why don't I hate them. Too many parents never know what kind of deep and lasting harm they have done to others in the so-called whole-hearted love, why they don't know, why this kind of harm can only be borne by the children themselves, even if I love you Even if you love me, why can you always be a glorious image of a giver, even if you really always give, even if I deeply recognize this matter, why can't glory and guilt coexist at the same time. Why can't you admit that you love him deeply, even if the way may be wrong, you have paid a lot to him, but you are also hurting him. That's fair isn't it? Maybe children are hurting their parents unintentionally. It is only fair that everyone takes off the coat of so-called comprehensive love and carries the double stone monument of love and sin. In the world together, those who do wrong cannot escape judgment. Only in this way can it be fair.
Is this world really full of love? The darkness is always there, what can you do with your eyes closed?
In this story, Joshua echoes the biblical Joshua, the making of order. Everyone understands him, why? Because I feel the same way, because the hatred cannot be relieved, and I dare not admit it, I can only be redeemed in Joshua's behavior. In reality, is this right? Of course not. Murder is against the law. This behavior is mostly just a symbol, an intention. Instead of really encouraging you to drive people crazy, kill people, frame people, it's just a means, just for the new order.
I also saw speculation about the biological relationship between my uncle and Joshua. ? ? ? This is probably my expression, and there are various speculations that I think my uncle is GAY, and Joshua may not be able to get along with my uncle for a long time. It's all speculation.
There is a saying that is right, what matters is not what the director is saying, but what you hear.
