In fact, at the beginning of the film, I guessed that Lucas was fictitious. I believe anyone who has watched this kind of film can tell, but in the development of the story, the director created some ingenious plots, which made me always deny and affirm. My guess for Lucas, on the surface, is that a child suffered schizophrenia due to his mother’s traumatic indifference, coupled with the loss of his brother in a car accident, which led to schizophrenia. Finally, due to the mother’s indifference, he suspected that his mother was fake, and finally caused a tragedy. In fact, the hidden plot of the film is like this. A family has an accident. The twin brothers lost their lives. The father was in distress and divorced his mother. The mother was disfigured in the car accident and wrapped in bandages. At this time, the mother’s best friend is also in the photo. Another woman killed her mother and replaced her with a plastic surgery for her family's assets. Because her mother was a celebrity, she has rich assets. Let me talk about all the details and speculations that support my point of view.
First of all, at the beginning of the film, why did she give so many hints to her mother when she guessed the riddle, and she didn't guess it was herself? Including the obvious reminder that there are two children and the celebrity experience, it is because people are relaxed when playing games, and when they are relaxed, they forget their role. If it is true, the mother will immediately think of herself.
As for the second detail, the two children went online and found that the house was on sale, and they knew that the house was expensive through the dictation of the Red Cross staff. Why did an injured mother sell the house, and in the end, the child threatened the mother to tell the truth by burning the house, which also proved that the fake mother attached great importance to the house.
The third detail, if the moles on the mother’s face and the cosmetic contact lenses can be explained through excuses, then how can the children’s favorite songs not be known? And this song must be very important to mother and child.
The fourth point is that mothers have to take sleeping pills frequently to fall asleep. This can be understood as post-traumatic sequelae, or it can be understood as the uneasy feeling of killing someone.
The fifth place is that after the mother took off her clothes in front of the mirror, she touched her breasts, which indicated that she had to touch her breasts after the whole process. In the photo, the two women did not seem to have a very obvious breast.
The most important detail, which is easily overlooked and puzzled in the film, is that the child came to the mother’s room and the mother pretended to sleep, and after the child left, she secretly took a bite of wafer. Why? ? ? Let me tell you my guess, that their mother doesn't eat sweets at all. It may be because of the star status and need to keep in shape, but if you are a person who likes to eat sweets, you will steal it if you don't eat it for a long time.
So I think this is the story that the director really wants to tell. The last mother and child reunion, and the knowing smile of a few people, on the surface seems to be a scene that the child imagined again. In fact, it can be understood that the mother can finally see clearly. Or think about it in a more terrifying direction. Maybe Lucas is the ghost of his brother, but only the brother can see it. After helping the brother to kill the real murderer, he will reunite with the ghost of his mother!
It’s the first time to write so long. I hope you can support it. It’s a pure mobile phone call?
