we need to talk about kevin (2011). directed by lynne ramsay.


a nightmarish tale of parenting, to mothers especially. what can you do with a child like this? it is not your fault that you don't enjoy the pregnancy, that you were a tad depressed, that the child is difficult and refused to bond. that he grew up to be antagonistic, a master manipulator to those who can't see him for who he is - a monster, albeit growing up in the best of environments with loving parents, is a bad seed from good people such as eva and franklin. 

i think it is a reminder how tough parenting could get, and on a more grim note, a reminder of how many criminals and killers were raised but good people. there is only so much that environment can do, for there is something more innate at work.

  1. Mula2 tak faham but then the flow is on track. pastu yeah sedar ini tunggang terbalik punya filem. Tapi dah agak, anak laki tu yg bunuh bapak dia sebab scene awal si emak tu cari kerja. Budak kecik tu sgt kurg ajar n saiko.
