ɷ I Havee Watched This Movie Leakeddd Versionn Hereee : - t.co/EQMyZQlo5e

Lol ikr

Not only that, but if you fast forward, you would be convinced the function didn't work. Their conversation is so redundant, that it could have been cut down to a 30-second clip and you would understand everything they got from the film- or didn't get.

Miss Sadie well done

mbear1 Agreed. And the red...it’s called Production Design

The red is symbolic

+Zan G SO agreed. I was sitting here thinking...does he not understand that the purpose of a good movie is to raise questions, NOT spoon feed you every single answer?

Katherine he is completely right great performances in an okay film and it's a shame

right? xhe had kevin because franklin wanted to be a parent and loved him in a way that she couldn't love her son

I beg to differ, guy in pink has a major point : there's no point of view in that movie. It doesn't come from anywhere, and leads nowhere.

@@easywriter3000 it’s told from Eva’s perspective as she’s remembering moments in Kevin’s life trying to figure out where she went wrong as a mother. She visits him during his anniversary asking him why he did it, he replies “I used to think I know, now I'm not so sure” and hugs her. Eva walks away believing it was not her fault, she still loves him and awaits the day he comes home.

zammmerjammer the simple answer is that Kevin is a psychopath, nothing hard to understand. Kevin was born a psychopath, they are born that way.

LRN_News, you completely missed the fact that he was raised by an immature mother. Kevin becomes a psychopath in his childhood because of the way he's raised. And I don't believe that sociopaths/psychopaths are born that way. I think you clearly didn't pay attention to the way his mother treated him as he grew up straight out of the womb. There was absolutely no nurturing of Kevin directly from the beginning where his father is holding him and his mother stares blankly in the hospital bed. Sure, his father holds onto him, but that's not enough; both parents must teach their children early what is what. Getting attention from both parents is a must from birth. As she strolls him around town she ignores his cries, she even does a terrible evil by allowing his cries to be covered up by the jackhammer in the middle of the street. Do you know what that can do to a child? Clearly you don't know because you claim he was like this from birth. A mother that refuses to take care of their child is more likely than not to raise a sociopath/psychopath. And his father only ever cared for him when he was around and saw that the boy needed to be rocked into a better mood. Neither parent took their son's needs seriously. They acted as if everything was okay when Kevin would tell his father to get out of his room. Mommy was especially excited because Kevin was finally showing mommy affection. You see, Kevin did something that even his own mother wouldn't do; showed affection when she was reading to him. If you're predisposed to do things of a murderous nature, the way in which you are treated from birth does a great deal in swaying which way your emotions will go. If you're treated with affection, you'll likely become a police officer or a fire fighter. If you're treated as Kevin was in this movie...? You'll end up either in the back of a police officer's cruiser or the one that causes the fire fighter's job in the first place. To think that Kevin was born evil is to be ignorant of his upbringing.

Lance Lust Sociopaths are made, psychopaths are born psychopaths.

Lance Lust psychopathy is basically an area of your brain that is not functioning properly, they are born that way. Just like a person that is born with a deformity, it happens with brains too.

How does one know that for a fact? Have they studied this in utero?

One of the best ever made in its genre. Or any.

+IMortage I actually think Ben is pretty consistent in his reviews, honestly.

I would say a perfect movie.

The first 40 minutes were the most boring shit I've ever seen. The rest of the movie was good. Nowhere near perfect overall.

@@cerberu999 like how was boring? Because was there no one dying every 5 minutes? just because you don't like it doesn't mean it was bad.

It was very much intentional. It was supposed to be a “chicken or the egg” kind of thing. Was Kevin born evil? Or was it due to his parenting?

That guy strikes me as a snob like those 2 guys from back in the day siskel and ebert or whatever their names were

Yeah, exactly. Not liking the movie is one thing and that's totally fine. But I feel like he completely missed the point entirely. At one point he says: "This movie to me; I didn't know what it was trying to say, IT didn't know what it was trying to say about why kids turn violent. Is it the parents' fault, are they just born that way?" I think the whole point of the movie is that we don't know. Life isn't always black and white, it's almost always gray. Sometimes things just don't make sense. So how do we deal/cope with those things that we can't make sense of? That's what the movie was about. This whole thing that he felt was "missing" was the entire point of the movie itself. Obviously he's entitled to his opinion and he doesn't have to like the movie just because I do. This is certainly not a film for everyone, I get that. But his opinion does feel slightly ignorant here. Hopefully he's re-watched it since this interview, which is now 8 years old.

average brain in this guy head...lazy to process

@@GraveyardghouI 0

I find myself looking for more of his reviews just so I can hate him some more. How does he get work?????? Not only is he quite stupid, he's very ill-mannered.

Agreed.

Gino Fáctàp The mother naturally asks this, it is understandable that the mother would feel that way about the way her son turned out. But there is IN FACT a simple answer. The simple answer is that it's not her fault, her son was born a psychopath, he was born with a brain wired differently, he didn't feel guilt, empathy, remorse etc A normal person, regardless of how they were brought up, would never be able to do shit like this without guilt and remorse.

Susan Olsen Sociopaths are made, psychopaths are born that way.

Hes a stuck up gay asshole

This was a great comment

I am just here for the comments.

@@asnider3155 thanks for reminding me that i wrote this comment.

Silenthillbillie EXACTLY. They were expecting the average cookie cutter, moral to the story, moment of clarity bullshit.

+jay44571 You did see the part in the movie where she broke his arm right.

DxSteve I don't care fuck her she didn't give him the love and care he deserved.

Cm Punk Alonso, is that you?

jay44571, Kevin's mother matured in the years that she failed to raise Kevin. That maturity allowed her insight as how not to treat a child. Instead of standing in the street with jackhammers covering up Kevin's cries for affection, she learned that that wasn't the way to treat a child. She didn't dump her daughter with the resentment she felt towards life as she did with Kevin. Watch the movie again and pay attention to the beginning where she raises Kevin without bonding. Learning as you grow, that's how her daughter was able to mature. The mother simply wasn't ready when having Kevin, but was when raising her daughter.

GREAT COMMENT

Exactly. Ever care for a colicky baby? Enough to drive a person insane. Combine that with a "father" who enables the young boy's antisocial, sadistic behavior, and then add a pediatrician who denies the mother any referral for help, and it's a recipe for disaster. And it's happening all over.

she filled the child with hate for herself and didn't care about him

i think the book and the movie portray the mothers initial actions a little differently. I did not get the sense that she was a bad mother more so that kevin was just a psycopath. I feel like the only thing he actually responded to was when she physically threw him

I never got the feeling that the mother was bad. This is like a new version of" the Bad Seed" - Kevin was born that way. In the question of nature verses nurture, this (like "The Bad Seed" ) gives the chilling conclusion that nature creates Sociopaths and there's not much that nurturing can do about it.

Agreed!

c'mon

+Elizabeth Erickson I liked especially that she is not a naturally nurturing person. For some people, parenting is instinctual (even when it's difficult). But to see someone who struggles with every single decision who then *on top of that* has a kid who is difficult to connect with... If they turn out bad, the question will FOREVER be was it nature or nurture? Plus, I think describing her as a "bad mother" is ridiculous. She wasn't a great or warm mother, but there is a whole gulf between "not good" and "bad" or "terrible." Anyway... I always wondered if the real "problem" with Kevin was that he was just like his mother...

Elizabeth, how are you doing now?

ct92404 not the first time, in fact every time you go shopping or do whatever in town, you probably walk by 10 psychopaths on average. If you know about 20 people there's a 25% change one of them falls into the anti-social personality disorder spectrum. Narcissist, psychopath, Sociopath.

lwgoinghome the father didn't see anything wrong with him.
