? -Henry. The Book of Henry
At the beginning of the film The Book of Henry, I thought it was an inspirational story about the growth of a gifted child-Henry. Unexpectedly, the protagonist Henry died of a brain tumor in the middle of the plot.
He left behind his grieving single mother and brother Peter, as well as a notebook he drew.
Henry in the movie is a gifted child of 1 1 years old. He not only has an extraordinary IQ, but also has an understanding beyond his age in financial management, Go, equipment manual and so on. He is kind and generous, and is good to everyone around him. His classmates, teachers and neighbors all like him very much.
This also makes his mother, who works as a waiter in a fast food restaurant, very dependent on him. In her eyes, he is not only her eldest son, but also the whole spiritual pillar.
She thinks that she will never be a good mother, and she can only play the role of a mother by Henry's guidance in life.
So that after Henry became ill, his mother completely lost her mind and was at a loss except for tears. Henry, on the other hand, was unusually calm. He calmly discussed his illness with doctors in professional medical terms, arranged things after good deeds, prepared his own wealth and fund for his mother, and earned hundreds of thousands in financial management. He faced death frankly and drew an elaborate plan in his red notebook.
Obviously, the mother, who is not strong in her heart, has completely collapsed without Henry as the spiritual pillar. Not only can she not work, but she can't take care of little Peter. Lacrimosa couldn't get rid of her sadness all day, and her life was a mess.
Peter, who was neglected by his mother, felt lonely. He suddenly remembered his brother's farewell before his death. My brother told me that he must show his red notebook to his mother.
It turned out that Henry inadvertently observed that Tina, his favorite neighbor girl, was abused by Glenn, a famous stepfather in society. He tried to turn to the headmaster for help, but the headmaster didn't believe him; Call social workers and the police. This information was concealed by Glenn's privileged brother.
He couldn't bear Tina to live in dire straits, so he carefully laid out a careful killing plan with extraordinary genius thinking, and hoped that his mother would murder Glenn through his guidance and get away with it, so that Tina could be rescued.
Seeing Henry's plan, my mother was shocked and even more at a loss. However, when she also found out that Tina was abused by her stepfather, her mother's love nature broke out, and she started Henry's plan: to buy a gun with money, to secretly practice shooting in the forest, and to practice the organs again and again in Henry's carefully decorated hut, just to kill Glenn at one fell swoop on the night of the school party.
In the process of cooperating with Henry's plan, mother gradually changed her decadent state and began to become energetic. The recording left by Henry guided his mother to carry out every step and gave her a lot of comfort and encouragement.
I thought this story would end with the successful or unsuccessful assassination of my mother. Unexpectedly, my mother took the initiative to put down the gun when she was only one step away from success, because she saw Henry's growth photos and suddenly realized that Henry was a genius, but he was still a child after all. As a mother, she can't commit crimes according to the logic of genius, let alone deal with them with children's thinking.
Mother chose to be a mother who can really protect her children. She confronted Glenn, the stepfather of scum, bravely accused him of his crimes and vowed to report him in a legal way.
This story has a happy ending. Henry's kindness and love were rewarded, Tina was adopted by her mother and a new family of three started a new life.
The film The Book of Henry is full of warmth. Henry took away his mother's love and care, leaving behind her confidence and courage to face life.
Mother saved Tina and herself with love.
