My understanding: this movie is about fighting rape

This film can be projected as fighting domestic violence, about overcoming fear, resisting being controlled. Yes, parents provide material conditions such as food, clothing and housing, but can this be a reason for them to control their children's free will? There are bad people in the outside world, but if she is strong enough and willing to face it, do parents have the right not to let go? As for the cowardly child (the man with the broken hand), because he seeks your refuge, so you can do whatever you want, abuse him, or even kill him? Two relatively weak people, for different reasons, become prisoners of control freaks. Should they choose to give up their free will and submit to his control 100%, or choose to escape from his sphere of influence and bravely face the dangerous world outside?

Indeed, the devil comes in many forms. It's a good movie, it's always suspenseful, and the characters are very successful, especially the fat old man, the real devil is not always hideous, he's always honest, and sometimes even childishly cute, but he and the alien creatures outside , which is more harmful, and may really be comparable to the heroine. This old man has a distorted personality. In some aspects, he has not grown into a real person at all, and is still in a state of ignorant beast. You must face them bravely and defeat them one by one. Otherwise, if you fail at the first level and surrender, you will never have the chance to become your true self.

  • Howard: He knocked over a shelf with a whole week's worth of food!... But he's sorry, aren't you?

    Emmett: [nonchalant] ... Totally.

    Howard: [Realizing that Michelle has noticed Emmet's injuries] That's what happens when you don't behave. Now I'm gonna tell you the same thing that I told him - you need to eat, you need to sleep and you need to start showing me a little more appreciation around here!
