"Pure" mentally retarded men and ugly society

This is a simple film, but it will undoubtedly make you think about some ugly corners of the society in which you live, and sympathize with the "pure" "mentally retarded" man who killed with a switchblade.

When the boy was 12 years old, he brutally killed his mother and lover with a switchblade, and was sent to a mental hospital. Several decades later, the boy became a middle-aged man. He returned to society with a healthy body, a head called an "idiot" by others, and a Bible.

He found a job and established a sincere friendship with a boy. The boy lived with his mother, and his father died in a car accident. Mother and son were entangled by a rough construction worker. Because the mother and child are disgusted with their behavior, it threatens the life and even life of the mother and child. On the second day when the builder drove the man out of the boy's house in a commanding tone, the man, under the guidance of the "Bible", killed his mother with a switchblade knife. He returned to the mental hospital, looking at the bewildering and ugly world outside.

He went into a mental hospital because of the murder, and after entering the society, he finally returned to mental illness because of the murder. There is no doubt that this process in the middle hints to us: what is wrong with society. When he first walked out of the hospital, he said that he would not kill again. In the course of his behavior, we saw his love-friendship, love, and did not expect him to kill again because of hatred. His last two knives were so awake, he even ate food after killing. He was tired of the world outside.

After watching the movie, it took a long time to forget the man's elegant and simple language and sincere attitude. The boy of his friend said: I like the way you speak. I would also like.

    A mentally retarded loner, with a contemplative pace, frowning, stooping, walking heavy and slow, always muttering, full of nervous spasms, we can't do anything but through sudden outbursts of guttural sounds. Learn about a past he can never escape - beheading loved ones so hard with a rusted switchblade. The low-key lighting of the Southern Gothic mood, the sometimes humorous idle writing, an almost detached determination, a horrifying blood sacrifice and the story of the wild child's sweet and slow adaptation to the big world are in stark contrast, creating a An extraordinary moral allegory and the unbearable lightness of life.

    9 points, it really doesn't seem dangerous to cut a blunt knife and it hurts for a long time. The rhythm is good, and the tones appear real in the dark, with imperceptible warmth. The performance is very good. The lines are detailed, which can promote the plot and show the character is also fun. The ending didn't surprise people, but it felt like it was done deliberately, without deliberately letting this slow cruelty cut the heart. There are many places where the tears are rolling in the eyes but will not stay, and the degree is well grasped.
