The Killing Of A Sacred Deer (2018) - Not Making Sense Of Anything!

★★☆☆☆

The film’s based on one of the ancient Greek plays where a family member must be sacrificed to save the whole no matter what. It’s like, to be or not to be, make the choice scenario. I don’t know. It reminds me of ‘Mother’, a film of religious symbolism that you can interpret however you want it, which is also why I don’t like it.

‘The Killing Of A Sacred Deer’ is much less head-scratching though! You may wonder at first, what’s going on between the doctor and the boy, but no worries, you’ll soon be told about that, and then be quite shocked in the middle to see how sinister and creepy the boy turns. That’s when it starts to turn me off then! What I don’t like about it is, it never explains how the boy manages to get it done (go check out for yourself if you wonder what it is that I’m talking here); and why he’s doing it seems so lame to me as a matter of fact!

Maybe we’re not here to expect it to make any sense because we’re unable to make sense of anything after all. We’re just to see how karma runs and how mind works to make us suffer. We think karma doesn’t make sense sometimes just because it’s not that instant and straight like we think it is. You’d get to see the hardest part of it that is absolutely not easy to understand and accept if you watched Jonnie To’s ‘Running On Karma’! And if you’re in fact aware of how more and more ridiculous the world has become, you know for sure that it’s not karma at all that seems ridiculous and insane, it’s all our mind!
