The most terrifying thing is the person himself

It’s the first time to write a film review, forgive me? Tell me about my understanding of this movie: 1. At the beginning of the movie, it introduced the scene of Mark seeing his mother die. (I think he will think he can save his mother and prevent her from dying) His father has no right to get his custody, so he fostered him in his uncle and aunt's house. He ran away from the car on the way to the "new" home. At the time they drove through a desert, they wrote about the boy's inner collapse and his unwillingness to believe that his mother had left and he would never see him.

2. When he arrived at his uncle's house, his uncle walked out of the house holding his daughter Quinn to greet Mark. It can be seen from this that his uncle loves this little daughter very much. When Quinn sees Mark, he is very excited and enthusiastic to take Mark's hand and show him around their home. The little girl is warm, lively and innocent. It can be seen that she doesn't mind having another brother in the family, she is willing to share the love of her parents with Mark, not selfish. Because she also knew that Mark had just lost his mother.

4. Henry appeared. They went to the tree house to play together. Henry asked him if you were afraid? Mark replied no. It can be seen from here that this simple tree house is a place where Henry spends many unpleasant times with Henry. Looking down on the ground from the tall tree house, I feel like I am the emperor of this world. At the last point of climbing the tree, Mark stepped on the branch and Henry grabbed him and said, "If I let go, do you think you can fly?" Mark showed a panic expression, begging Henry not to let go and pull him up. From this it can be seen that Henry did not like him. The arrival of Mark made Henry feel threatened. His parents had to pay half of their attention and love to others. His sister Quinn liked Mark so much, and Henry began to be jealous. Hate Mark. When the two of them were alone in the tree house, Henry began to threaten Mark. At this time, his sister was watching under the tree. She saw Mark stepped on the air and was very worried but did not ask his parents for help. Here I think my sister should Knowing that his brother Henry is not such a simple person, right?

The next story speeded up the process of their play together. Henry took Mark to the factory to hit the glass windows with stones. Mark said, "It's so accurate." Henry said, "It's not a big deal." The security came and they fled the factory together. In the next scene, Henry took out the launcher he made. He asked Mark to pick up the iron nail. Mark picked up the round head nail. Henry installed the nail and aimed at the cat’s head. Mark said not to hit it. Henry said I was not going to hit it. Just scare it. But in fact, Henry's standard was the cat's head, but the shot was missed, and the round-headed nail was inserted into the tree to see how powerful the launcher was. Henry took Mark to a cemetery where there was a well. Henry threatened Mark again. In the next scene, Henry asked Mark to bring his own transmitter. Henry killed the dog who had chased them on the bridge before, and together with Mark he wrapped its body in a bag and threw it into the well. Mark discovered Henry's unusualness and didn't want to play with him. Mark wanted to tell his aunt and uncle about this. Henry said: "You are also an accomplice. We did these things together." Henry is a clever kid. He knew that in this way Mark could not be acquitted of the crime and could not separate the relationship.

Henry is a good boy who is obedient and sensible in front of his parents. The parents are very relieved of him and trust him. But he didn't know that he was a "demon" because Charles's birth made him feel that his parents were not paying attention to him so much, and that his love and attention to Charles was more than that of him. He also gave his own toys to his younger brother Charles. Henry could not accept such a reality. For Henry, such a reality gave him a heavy blow to his heart. He could not accept the first position in the hearts of his parents until now. Brother, all parental care must be divided into half, and his favorite toy must be snatched away. Henry: If you snatch my toy, I will destroy you, so you can’t snatch with me. It should belong to me alone. s things. So while his parents were not at home, he caused an accidental drowning incident, and his parents were constantly blaming themselves for their negligence. Later, he had his sister Quinn.

The arrival of Mark made Henry even more upset. Henry was a child who didn’t know how to share. He believed that his parents’ care and concern belonged to him alone. He was unwilling to share with his younger sisters and brothers. He wanted more care, but because of himself. It is the eldest child who can't get it. What he gets is the trust of his parents. Don't worry. The parents think Henry is the eldest of the family, so they will choose to trust Henry with peace of mind. Maybe they don't care about Henry in many ways. But they forget that although Henry is the eldest of the family, he is only a ten-year-old child. He is also growing up. Henry, who was "ignored" by his parents, began to do everything he could to get more attention from his parents, but it was useless. Henry was disappointed.

It is not their own toys that are destroyed, but the people who get them. Greed, jealousy, desire, these are all things of man himself. The most terrifying thing is not ghosts, but man himself.

    When I was a child, the Little Ghost series was the hottest, I used VCD to watch it. I remember the mother's decision in the last scene, and I was deeply impressed.

The Good Son quotes

  • [Henry takes Mark to the Well in the cemetery]

    Mark: [Mark looks down into the Well as Henry pulls out a wooden box from his pocket] Hey, cool. What you got in the box?

    Henry: [Henry pulls out a lighter and cigarette, lighting it to hand over to Mark] Go on.

    Mark: They give you cancer.

    Henry: Who cares? You're gonna die anyways.

    Henry: Did you see your mom after she was dead?

    Mark: I wanted to, but they wouldn't let me.

    Henry: You should've made them let you. It's very important. See, people don't like to talk about death. So that's why you have to investigate. It's scientific.

    Mark: It doesn't feel like that.

    Henry: What did your mom look like the last time you saw her?

    Mark: Kinda pale.

    Henry: Kinda pale. I took a real good look when my kid brother Richard drowned in the bathtub.

    Mark: Your brother drowned?

    Henry: He was completely blue. You should've looked at her eyes and lips. And touched her skin to see what it felt like--Hot, cold.

    Mark: Shut up about my mom.

    Henry: Hey, don't get mad. I'm just trying to be scientific.

    Mark: Just shut up or I'll hit you.

    Henry: Try it...
