Rakel Lenora Petersen Fløttum in The Innocents (2021)

Review by zicteban

The Innocents

3/10

Very dangerous movie with hidden agenda

Open your eyes: What do children represent?

Innocence. At least young ones, like in this movie.

What is this movie about?

Cruelty, evil behaviour by children who should be innocent.

What do they have which make them so different, and can explain this intensity in doing evil?

A special power, a natural gift that gives them power.

Thus, the meaning of this movie could the following:

Children are cruel and evil as may be adults, human beings in general.

The power, they have been gifted with, triggers their inner cruelty, unmasks how mean these little beings can be, highlights that they are everything except innocent, pure creatures.

Therefore, children should not be attributed this naive status of innocence. We, adults, are wrong about them: these creepy creatures don't deserve any special consideration, any specific protection.

This idea is emphasized by the perfectly cynical title, given how children are (mis)represented in this movie.

That's why one can only feel uneasy, uncomfortable watching how that movies is wrecking the whole concept of early childhood.

What could be the idea behing this destruction?

I let you guess.

Children should be ripped of any special consideration, any special care.

For what hidden and hideous purpose?

I'd better not say.

I might be mistaken, but my intuition is rarely wrong.

This movie is evil.

It has been written by evil minds.
