the Voice of a monster: history is important

"History is important. They may be more important than anything else. They did not end once the author puts a period at the end of the last sentence,"

"the voice of the monster" tells the story of a boy Connor who is experiencing serious illness of his mother.

the Monster from the Tisa comes to the boy and tells stories that help Connor through different processes: the feeling of injustice of life, the mother's illness and the crisis of adolescence. The story tells about the feelings, fears, thoughts and actions that come to us in response to a difficult situation.

an emotional, honest film, not devoid of aesthetics. The synthesis of all this gives a picture that draws not only the strength of feeling, but the truth of pain and contradictory feelings and the complexity of the relations in the situation of the disease in the family.

the Voice of a monster legalizes what you are talking about only that person is going through, that is with seriously ill loved ones, or hurts himself❔

the film describes the alternative views that do not give exact answers but allow us to be closer to him.

it is Hard to tell that in addition to guilt, fear to tell about their illness, disease close, the fear of death, etc., a person experiences loneliness, anger, rage and desire that all quickly ended. If the disease talking a lot, about the pain of relatives and loved ones - almost there.

"You write your life not words. You write it with actions." Think about what seems wrong, shameful (when I want to for a long time bedridden and ill man left) — normal, natural and understandable. It is thought, not action.

They not destroy the love and kindness between you. Thoughts and feelings come and go. "It does not matter what you think, because your mind contradicts itself hundreds of times a day" — this understanding does not come to an adult and to the child who is not familiar with yourself and your emotions, and even more so.

"You only want to stop the pain. Your personal pain. Because of her you were not more isolated from the world. It is the human desire for light."

the Film, its metaphors and storyline allow you to see these thoughts💭, to recognize them and accept that it's okay, it's not bad. The film is a step to take care of myself, talk to myself (or the Monster?) and to find the relationship with their feelings, that it is now possible and important.

Despite the tragedy, the film is not deprived of warmth, love, care and support. When you come back to reality after viewing, is different: the hope and joy combined with sadness and sorrow. And that's okay too.

Who to watch?

Only the man himself decides to watch this film or not. The plot may hurt at some point, for someone would be inappropriate. But I suppose that for someone "a Voice of a monster" can be an important step to understanding and recognition of complex emotions.

Small children may not fully understand the film, but the stories that the Monster tells Connor to give to look at life not as black-and-white. The path from the categorical to the difference and perhaps at times of injustice: "do Not always happen only to good people. Or only the bad. Most often each have those and other features." I would also add that the words “bad” and “good” are generally not very useful in this context.

After watching the talk with your child, discuss the child's attitude to what he saw, not to hit something important and the child is not left in the idea of the constancy of injustice and the “unlucky” end. Answer their questions, offer to ask them.

Picture can be psychotherapeutical for those who have faced or are faced with loss, serious illness any difficult life situation. For ill to understand your child/close, close itself and ill of man.

Well, when the person is someone during or after the film, because saturation captures and experiences may have different effects. But I don't deny that for someone viewing alone more comfortable.

the Film touches the viewer with important pieces: tells about the life, about the conflicting thoughts and acategorical, not only about illness, death, loss. He talks about relationships and different feelings. And it is each of us.
