The 9-year-old boy should be innocent in people's eyes. Although naughty, he is also very simple. However, although some young boys are young, they seem to have forgotten to drink Meng Po soup. The precocity is incredible.
today shared a 9-year-old boy not only precocious, but also murderous, calm as if nothing happened, even his mother and father were driven crazy by the movie "Joshua". The movie
was released in 2007, with a Douban score of 7.1, directed by George Latif, starring Jacob Cogan, Sam Rockwell, Vera Farmega and others.
Speaking of Vera Farmega, she has to mention that she is simply the queen of horror films. She is featured in horror films such as the "Call of Souls" series, "Annabelle" and "Orphanage".
There are not many words to start the story of "Joshua" directly, the dividing line is serious spoiler, those who mind watch carefully.
Lily, who was born recently, won the love of everyone in the family. Whether it is mom, dad or grandparents, they are all around Lily. Only her uncle is playing the piano with Joshua. Grandpa and grandma
proposed to give Lily a religious baptism, but the Brad and his wife firmly disagreed. They do not believe in religion and should let the children have the freedom to choose their beliefs.
When it's time for Lily to go to bed, my uncle suggested that the whole family sing a lullaby to make her sleep. Maybe it was too bad to sing. Joshua vomited, but no one cared about him when he saw Joshua who vomited.
In the middle of the night, Abby was awakened by Lily's crying. The couple got up and went to the nursery to check. Lily was asleep, and Joshua stood outside the door looking at them in loss.
Joshua and other classmates at school are also out of place. Joshua, who has no sense of presence at home, wants to attract the attention of his parents, find some topics to chat with them, and get a perfunctory answer like you are a good boy. Without the love of his parents, Joshua found out the video taken when he was born. In the video, Abby was almost driven crazy by Joshua who cried all day.
The next day Brad and Abby went to the Joshua school. At the concert, maybe Joshua wanted to get the attention of his parents and suddenly fainted while playing the piano.
In the middle of the night, the Brads were awakened by Lily’s crying again. Abby was coaxing Lily. Brad came to Joshua’s room to take a look, but Joshua stood behind him and surprised Brad. Abby took Lily, who was always crying, to the hospital for examination. The doctor couldn't find out the reason. Abby was forced to suffer from postpartum depression by crying Lily.
One night when Abby got up to drink water, he was frightened by Joshua who suddenly appeared and broke the cup. Joshua saw the glass shards slowly receding, attracting Abby to walk forward and step on the glass shards to pierce the soles of his feet.
Because Brad is going to work, in order to take care of the injured Abby, grandma came to their home. Brad, who was playing squash after get off work, received a call and hurried home. Joshua, the dog he had raised for many years, took him for a stroll. He died after returning home.
Seeing the dead dog Brad was extremely sad, Joshua stood blankly behind him, and then pretended to be sad lying on the dog's body and wept bitterly. At first glance, he knew it was related to Joshua.
One day Abby coaxed Lily to sleep. Joshua asked her to play peekaboo with herself. Joshua hid. After searching for a long time, Abby didn’t find Lily. She went to the nursery and found Lily was gone. Calling Brad who was picking up girls, Abby thought of the vacant house upstairs and ran up to look for it.
Brad went home and found that there was blood stains left by Abby at the door. He ran to the empty room upstairs and found that Abby fell on the ground and had a mental breakdown. Brad took Abby home and sawJoshua was next to the crib, and Lily was lying in the crib. All this was made deliberately by Joshua.
Abby yelled at Joshua. Brad stopped her unknowingly. The family was in a mess. Brad decided to take a long vacation to take care of the family. Grandma took Lily and Joshua to visit the museum. Joshua said that the god who used violence to establish order was his idol. Brad watched the video at home and found that Lily was always crying because Joshua made the ghost.
He hurried to the museum. Joshua pushed Lily away while his grandmother went to the toilet. He pushed Lily out of the museum and was about to push down the stairs. Grandma and Brad arrived in time.
Brad took Lily away and suddenly screamed. Grandma rolled down the stairs and fell to her death on the spot. Brad looked at Joshua, but Joshua had a calm face, and then pretended to be sad and ran to her grandma's body. Then wept bitterly.
At the funeral, Brad told Joshua's uncle that he suspected Joshua had pushed grandma down, but the uncle did not believe it. Joshua walked up to his uncle and whispered a few words to him. After listening, his uncle looked at Brad with an angry look.
When he got home, Brad held Lily every step of the way. He was guarded against Joshua. He knew that Joshua had done it all. He felt that Joshua was ill. He found him a child psychologist. After the doctor saw Joshua's painting, he speculated that Joshua was abused by Brad's family at home.
Brad decided to send Joshua away. Joshua pretended to be pitiful in front of Brad. In the face of poor Joshua, Brad couldn't bear it after all.
The next day Joshua suggested to go out for a stroll. In the park, Joshua deliberately angered Brad and caused Brad to hit him. The distracted Brad beat Joshua heavily.
The onlookers saw that he thought he was violent at home, so Brad was sent to prison and his uncle became the guardian of their brothers and sisters. When the workers were cleaning up the room, they found some bloody and violent paintings painted by Joshua, and his pet mouse had been mummified.
Joshua finally got rid of his parents and lived the life he wanted. At first, this movie thought that Joshua was fighting for favor with his sister. After seeing it, I realized that this was not the case. No one loves him more than him. Sister, he did all this for his sister.
From the moment his sister was born, Joshua was rebuilding order for her sister. There was a baby in the house, and his parents allowed the dogs to run around, so he killed the dogs. The neurotic mother couldn't take care of her sister better, so he sent her to the hospital.
's grandma, who has a fanatical pursuit of religion, is just an incompetent parent in Joshua's eyes, so she killed her. There was a glimmer of hope for his father, but he didn't expect his father to be wary of him everywhere, so he used a psychologist to pretend to be driven away by domestic violence.
In this way, he reorganized a family and established a healthy living environment for his sister. All the clues of
are hidden in the film very simple. The director did not deliberately explain everything that happened at home. The audience knew that Joshua had a problem when he saw it. All his strategies can be guessed by everyone after a little thought.
is different from the same type of "Orphanage" in this movie. At the beginning, no one knew that the little girl was a grown-up adult, but no one would have thought of it until the end.
and their goals are different. The relationship between them in "Joshua" is only the contradiction between family affection, while the heroine in "Orphanage" wants the love between men and women. What's more coincidental is that Vera Farmega also played the hapless mother in "Orphan Grudge".
Facts have proved that not all innocent ages will be innocent.
