CHRISTINE / WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN: Teenage Terrors
Hot takes incoming! David and Devin begin this month’s discussion with John Carpenter’s Stephen King adaptation CHRISTINE . Classic nerd Arnie Cunningham has a killer new car - emphasis on “killer.” But when the self-driving self-healing automobile goes on a murderous rampage, and Arnie changes into a real jerk, are we sure it’s all Christine’s responsibility? Or has our geeky hero been hiding a darkness, a darkness which he is now embracing as he reaches maturity?
Then, we’ll switch gears and decades to Lynn Ramsay’s disturbing psychological character study WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN , starring Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly. Eva has raised a monster: her teenage son Kevin has murdered his classmates with a bow and arrow, and in the aftermath she recollects on his childhood. Was he always like this, or did she fail him as a mother? What motivated Kevin to shoot up his school? Can we even know?
