Remember the name of the director Alma Hall is that when he was studying at FAMU in 2016, he saw a film called Normal Autistic Film. It was a very powerful film. The film went to the Karlovy vary film festival and Berlin, but it didn't win an award. Competing with this film for the grand prize is Almahal's True Love.

It didn't surprise me that "Baby Boy" has a much better reputation than its box office. This kind of pain writing has never been the darling of mainstream commercial theaters, and this film's 94% praise on Rotten Tomato is by no means overrated. One of the basic elements of a good story is sincerity. On this basis, a feature film achieves a time and space shuttle that cannot be accomplished by a documentary.

In the interaction between father and son, the author did not let go of any sensitive nerves. The son expects his father's unreserved support, but it always fails. The actor son pays the father who has a criminal record and does not work seriously. After the bottom line is touched, the son bargains and asks the "employee" to have proper respect for the "boss". employees” for more violent retaliation.

At the end, the father takes his son to see the marijuana he grows near the highway and takes his son to smoke marijuana. The camera shows the true love between father and son at this time. This fatherly love is poisonous, yet very real. Similarities can be found in many unfortunate family relationships in the world.

Script writer and actor Shia LaBeouf decided to play her own father, and from my point of view, I chose to understand my father, which is a key step in reconciling with the cruel adult world.

    When Arthur has a son... if you can't make sure you can take care of the baby, take care of your organs. It's admirable that Otis still believes in his father being a real father after all the trauma, I don't believe my mother can grow up to be a good mother anymore. The father's jealousy of his son's achievements and his support for his son's deep low self-esteem and the feeling of his great failure are brutally expressed only by anger. I like the scene where Otis and the neighbor girl have their first intimate contact. The deep desire for father and mother love is wrapped in the ignorant coat of ambiguity and sex. The slow-tuned bgm and blue-violet lighting render the emotions very well. charming. Then Otis took the money from the drawer to repay the girl's tenderness for a moment, just like he used the money to keep his father, and no one taught him any better way, and the scene poured out of sadness. Otis was severely slapped twice by his father, and the scene in which he was crying alone reached an emotional high point, which was very heart-wrenching. I feel sorry for Otis, I feel sorry for myself, and I feel sorry for all the children who didn't get the love of their parents.
