We need to talk about Kevin sequel idea: also add information to coursework ***

Can show how Kevin changes while in prison, how he becomes a child almost as he is once again dependant on his mother.    Key scene 4 minutes-6 minutes




When Kevin is ill in this scene he becomes dependant on his mother and becomes a "normal" child who is loving and cute. This can be seen again in the end scenes when Kevin is in prison, he feels like he has lost power and control and therefore relys on his mother to make him better. Whereas most children always rely on their parents, Kevin feels as though he has enough power to be independent and take control of his life, pushing away everyone until he is too "weak" to take control and look after himself. When he is ill he cant do much and therefore needs the care of his mother and when he is in prison he has nothing but his mother and chooses to depend on her and her support.

The sequel can demonstrate how Kevin has lost everything but his mother, who is the one person he chose to hate the most. This shows that maybe he did love her all along but didn't know how to handle his love for his mother and chose to make her life miserable instead. This demonstrates how kevin isn't a normal child as he finds it easier to handle his hate rather than express his love. The fact that  his mother is the one that he chooses to not kill further demonstrates my point.

The sequel will demonstrates Kevin's downfall to childhood, as if he grew in reverse. It will show Kevin's life in prison and his and his mothers relationship developing and growing like a mother and sons should. It will show how Kevin's mother doesn't turn her back on him despite the pressure she gets from the outside world and the way he treated her as he grew up. She continues to love and support him throughout his time in prison.

As the film is based on the book, which is based on letters between husband and wife, it could be letters between mother and son showing the development of the relationship. The sequel will vary between Kevin's life in prison and his mothers life at home. The struggles and how they both rely on each others support and the time they spend with each other. It will have to show how the mother copes without the support of her husband and daughter and how she copes having no one but Kevin in her life. Kevin who has caused all of her trouble.

As they are stuck with each other, they don't have much of a choice as to whether they are there for each other, they rely on each other as they have no one else at all.
