It can be said with certainty that the father and son Hellboy and Pr. Broom are the healthiest and stable parent-child relationship among the literary works I have seen in the past five years-not only in fiction, but also rare in real life.
Hellboy is optimistic and tolerant, has popular hobbies (rock music, soap operas, etc.), and can develop normal friendships with ordinary people (agent Ruiz). According to the plot, it seems that he will take over as the parent of little girl Alice (srsly, although " "Blood Queen" is a bloody R-rated film, but the plot is clean and not charming, absolutely no one will mistake him and Alice's father-daughter relationship as romance), there is also a strange sense of humor, sharp teeth and self-deprecating, the most precious The thing is—he didn’t feel uneasy or ashamed of his appearance at all. Considering that he is a demon, red skin, yellow eyes, iron right hand, and manual sawing of horns every day, this rare confidence and self-affirmation must come from stability and health. Parent-child relationship.
Sure enough, the entire "Blood Queen" confirmed this everywhere. Hellboy's father, Pr. Broom, although he said he didn't know how to be a father, he definitely became an unrivaled quality parent. Hellboy was talking on the phone with his father while he was out on a mission. Pr. Broom could very accurately point out that Ruiz was only his son's drinking buddy, not a friend. This can almost be regarded as an adult father-son relationship that has nothing to talk about, and it can be met but not sought after by ordinary people. Therefore, Hellboy was also full of confidence in the relationship between father and son. He was sent by his father to work with his old friends and was ambushed and almost killed him. When he turned back, he just said, "Maybe you should tell you the people in the Osiris Society, don't tm kill me", Pr. After Broom said that he didn't know, he immediately believed it, and no longer doubted whether his father wanted to murder his mastermind or accomplice-after all, he was both a Nazi and a demon when he came into the world, and Pr. Broom didn't kill him either. This enviable parent-child relationship is not just about such big issues. It can be found from very simple words that Hellboy mentioned Grandpa Broom-his father's father, mentioned their family history, this natural narrative It naturally reveals the imperceptible identification of the original family as an adopter. This recognition naturally comes from the recognition of his family members, but Pr. Broom does not blindly praise his children, not every day thinking about educating him to yearn for heaven, stay away from hell, and not be a demon prince blah blah. In fact, Pr. .Broom’s speech is bitter and mean. From the dialogue it is speculated that educating children from an early age is also very harsh, but he can firmly show his recognition and affirmation of his children in important places: When introducing Hellboy to people several times, the words he used were not " Hellboy", but "my son"; when he was asked several times why he chose to raise a Nazi demon cub, he only said that you are not a monster, you are much better than them, and you are a good man (even though he is not I don’t know that Hellboy is half a direct descendant of King Arthur); the most important thing is that I am the most shocked. After Pr. Broom was killed, he was revealed through the spirit body to tell Hellboy that I can go to heaven because I became your father and you. 'S father is the best decision I have ever made. Rather than assisting the Allied forces against the Nazis, or becoming an army of gods against eternal hell and evil forces, these achievements are in Pr. In Broom's view, none of them are worthy enough. Only by being the father of Hellboy can he reflect the true weight of his life. The love for his children is worthy enough for him to deserve to Heaven. Even in the magical land where the relationship between parents and children is perverted, I never expected to hear such an ear-splitting sound, let alone in an R-rated movie with the theme of gods and monsters.
I hope there will be more Pr.Broom in the world, and it would be the best to send every child who is struggling.
