Tell me a little bit about your understanding of the story.
1. At the beginning of the film, the heroine India says that she can see small and distant things that others cannot. So at her father's funeral, she could vaguely hear a man calling her from a distance.
2. The heroine receives a pair of shoes of almost the same style every year. At first, she thought that her father gave her to her. Later, through the conversation between her uncle Charlie and the old housekeeper, she learned that the shoes were actually sent to her by Charlie through the old housekeeper. It can be understood here that Charlie has been paying attention to India's growth.
3. The unfortunate death of her father. Through the dialogue between the heroine and her mother Evelyn, it can be seen that the relationship between mother and daughter has not been very good. And the heroine has a quirky personality and is not easy to approach. She is very wary of her uncle Charlie who suddenly appears, and is dissatisfied with Evelyn's closeness to Charlie.
4. The character of Uncle Charlie is the leader or digger of India's "Stoke" attribute, because he thinks India is his kind and relative, and she is the same as him. First, take her to school, give her an umbrella, etc. as a gesture of goodwill. He did not shy away from showing what he did to India, asking her to go to the freezer where he hid his body to get ice cream, and in front of her strangled the male classmate who wanted to rape her, including Evelyn who wanted to strangle her later, and happily Call India to see. It was also through him that India gradually discovered that violence and death could satisfy her desires. First, she poked her classmates with a pencil and recalled those violent scenes, which she later expressed by playing the piano with Charlie. Second, she watched Charlie strangle to death. My classmate, I found Aunt Jin's body when I was burying the body, and later showed it by taking a shower and masturbating. It was also because he discovered that her father Richard often took her to hunt to control her desires. After all, she was wary of Charlie, and several times the film used the scenes of hunting with guns to aim at the murderous heart at that time, which is very good.
5. Evelyn, played by Nicole Kidman, is a tragic character with dissatisfied desires. Her daughter was born unable to get close to her, and her husband Richard had an average relationship with her during her lifetime. Later, the handsome Charlie just had an affair with her. relationship, his real purpose is just to attract India's attention. Even she was almost strangled by Charlie in the end. She thought India shot Charlie to save herself. As a result, India ran over to check if Charlie was dead, and then she was bloodied and indifferent. Looking at her makes me feel so joking! It is miserable enough to meet such a family of "Stoke" people.
6. There are several interesting scenes where spiders appear in the film. The first time it appeared in India's calf, the second time it climbed into India's thigh, and the third time it climbed from India to Charlie's body. I think this spider should be a visualization of the "Stoke" attribute. The first to the second time refers to the "Stoke" attribute being more and more reflected in India, and the third time is It means that he has become the same person as Charlie. After killing someone once, he has become familiar with it, and the scene of killing the policeman at the end is evident.
7. Before Charlie killed Aunt Jin, there was a view from outside the window. Charlie was lying on the bed, his legs were constantly swinging, and there was an introduction of Eagle on the TV. This paragraph is very interesting. Combining the same behavior of India in front and the neatness of killing people in the back, it shows the family characteristics of "Stoke" very well.
