I still don't understand your humor

Well, I admit that I don't understand the black humor of that era, and I can see it in the mist from beginning to end.

The whole film is like a dream. It seems to say that a little boy is a vegetarian. He feels terrible and disgusting when he sees the meat. When he sees his parents having sex, he can think of his mother’s lipstick as if two people are eating bloody lipstick. Rou, also fantasizes that his parents are doing some ulterior things every day, and he is full of hostility towards his father.

In fact, we had similar experiences when we were young, thinking that we are aliens, and that no matter what parents do is mystery, the night time is for adults, and children are always driven to bed early.

But is the plot of the final father killing and the murder of the mother true? Is the little boy so scary? Just because his father forced him to eat meat, he killed him?

Well, I still don't understand your humor.

    The tragic story of a child who caused his parents to die tragically because of picky eaters [Not at all. The distinction between fantasy and reality is too small, and it is confused.

    To me It's about childhood fears, anxieties and tensions with parents. The music and the set are brilliant. And it's a very unique role Randy played, among his typical drunk father(but with love from daughter)..

    Lab Attendant: this pen is made of chemicals, but if I took these same chemicals and recombined them, I could make an automobile, or an electric light! The whole world is made of chemicals Micheal, you can make anything! And if you're smart... you'll make opportunities.
