[We Need To Talk About Kevin] flows, intersecting between the past and present of Eva, the heroine. Her past in which she meets her husband at La Tomatina, gets pregnant, and gives birth to Kevin, her son, and her present in which she is imprisoned for Kevin’s having committed a crime form a sharp contrast. Like putting the puzzle together, making the connection represents her barren psychological landscape. Why did Kevin assault people with a bow and arrow? The answer is unanswerable. Confronting such a horrible incident, she traces back from the moment of pregnancy up to now: her anxiety over the pregnancy, inner conflicts caused by nurturing Kevin, giving up her job, and gazing at her teenage son who changed terribly. What had been happening? Eva bore Kevin, but he turned into a devil. What constitutes the fear of modern society is that the most familiar become the most unfamiliar. Is Kevin’s devilishness perhaps the core of many incidents modern society witnesses? Putting oppositely, may Kevin be someone who was thrown outside society far earlier? [We Need To Talk About Kevin] is talking about fear and contradiction of our time in which growth is impossible. (LEE Sang-yong)
