@1mnmfan The Rubber duck belonged to the woman's youngest son who had drowned in the bathtub.
I guess the youngest son was taking a bath with the rubber duck & the mother went down the stairs, leaving him unattended. When the mother came back to check on him and discovered her son's dead body in the bathtub, the rubber ducky was missing. Basically it was proof that the older boy had drowned his little brother, b/c he kept the duck as a souvenir.
Funny how they both delevoped later in life, especially compared to their roles in this. Elijah's still pretty much the good boy and Macaulay kinda snapped. I love them both anyway :D (Macaulay even a bit more)
disturbing yet true. There are realy people out there who gets pleasure out of the injury of others. They enjoy hurting others because they love to look at others crying or in pain. They have no feeling of remorse or guilt. The essense of the movie is that Evil, Satan exist.
Now, now, no need to involve "Satan" in this, it's not his fault that some humans are twisted. God created us all, right? So honestly speaking shouldn't it be his fault? Anyway I think it was a bit disturbing too, I remember being quite shocked after watching it. xD (well, I was little)
Ahh, did you just say that "the Devil is bad"? Well, duh, everyone is led to believe that, even though it's not the complete truth. And he doesn't influence anyone. Honestly, people do bad things and then say "it's Satan's fault" just to excuse their bad deeds.
@MicukoFelton . influence is not the same as making a person do something. and you are right people dont take responsibility for what they do they always try to find someone or something to blame. but i dont agree with what you said about him not being an influence.
this movie was on last night(been a long time since i seen it). had to watch the making. first time i watched this movie, was due to culkin- remembering him from home alone. the good son was freaky and interesting.
Fantastic Thriller! Macaulay Culkin's psychotic acting in this movie was totally brilliant. He's so talented actor. I don't understand why he isn't so popular nowdays. Elijah Wood is farrrr not so talented as Culkin but he is superstar now.
If that is so, why did Roger Ebert (the best-known film critic in the US) call Elijah Wood the most talented actor in his age group in Hollywood history? Most critics said that EW acted Mac off the screen in The Good Son. As for Lord of the Rings, everyone involved was blown away by Wood (ditto most film critics and audiences) - you have only to read some of the comments by Peter Jackson, Ian McKellen etc on his acting and his whole personality. The trilogy would have failed without him.
.......I'm not saying that Elijah Wood is a bad actor, but claiming that Wood was what made the trilogy so successful is bullshit. You're saying that the amazing script, gorgeous settings, tight direction and the plethora of great performances from the other actors had nothing to do with the trilogies success. I don't know about you, but I didn't sit through 6 solid hours of film because of Elijah Wood.
I rented & watched this movie several years ago. It's the best performance Culkin has ever done. If you like suspense/thrillers, check it out. It's worth seeing.
i don't exactly understand, how someone once mentioned that macaulay's role in this movie ruined his entire reputation. On the contrary, didn't it make him a flexible character? I don't quite get it either, that he's not doing films like this, of course in an adult role, but something that would match up to this film's kind of level, or even more. This film is one of the best suspense movies in the entire hollywood history. Culkin strikes me as a methodist-actor here, and a good one at that.
they didnt even want macaulay culkin as henry they wanted some other kid actor i forgot his name hes in bring it on anyways macs dad threatened the ppl to cast him in this or he was gonna pull him out of home alone 2
The director says that The Good Son is about evil. But what the f*ck is evil? I mean, Henry is just a mentally ill character who shows signs of anti-social personality disorder at an early age. I know it's quite rare but it does happen in real life. That's just my take on this flick.
Henry does seem to have the classic anti-social personality disorder (also referred to as sociopathic personality) who has no conscious and doesn't care about right or wrong or has remorse. Though he did intellectually understand that his behavior was wrong but didn't care so he wouldn't be seen as mentally ill according to the law.
Sorry, I meant the term 'conscience' as when talking about having empathy and sympathy for others as opposed to 'conscious' which is whether the person is awake or not :)
This was such a bad movie. Apparently Ian McEwan wrote it, but the script was essentially hijacked from him and ruined to fit Macaulay Culkin. It could have been interesting if they made Henry more than a one-dimensional character, and if they would have explored that kind of mind. And plus he talked like a cartoon villain!
I remember at block busters I always wanted to see this movie because it had macuaulay culkin in it and because I seen home alone I thought it would be a good movie for kids but my dad said no because it's rated R I was 8 that time LOL.
I don't know how you can call Macaulay a 'great' actor. It was really his cute looks alone that appealed to audiences. Elijah Wood, Joseph Mazzello and Haley Joel Osment... they are great actors!
I loved this film,but I feel sorry for MAC cause he got cheated out of the money he made for movie making. He worked real hard and lost it all cause of his parents.
