He turns and asks Brian: “Why did you lie to me?” However, instead of answering Norval, Brian takes his hand.

I was thinking maybe he believed Brian took, in addition to Jethro’s money, Jethro’s kid (who Jethro would have named Arthur). An extraordinarily life changing sort of request. It’s almost like we are walking into a new golden age of movies as cultural warning signs maybe? So, I’m feeling pretty good about my Freud take at this point. I personally think Freud is full of crap.
Have something to tell us about this article? However, after a while, he starts to realise that things are not as they first appear and something strange is going on.

Seeing as though Norval’s father abandoned him and his mother when he was five, this is a pretty significant request. We all experience this same tragedy in our own relationships with our parents, regardless of how good, or tightly knit we are with them. Deciding that the best way to get revenge is for Norval to climb into the trunk, and to attack Jethro when he least expects it…which, I have to say, is the absolute worst plan I have ever heard of. The story may have come to a bloody conclusion, but many fans were left confused at exactly what transpired. I wanted an opinion on why Jethro uttered “Arthur” before dying. Think of these films as Greek Tragedies, or Greek Morality plays, but instead of being forbidden to show the violence on stage, American Tragedies, or American Morality plays revel in the violence of the act. You know, the hyper-violent Oedipus Rex? Basically, it is just one big attempt to avoid a prophecy of his killing his father and marrying his mother. Sitting in the street, Jethro lets Norval know that his mother was a prostitute that both Brian and Jethro both had slept with. You explained the Oedipus complex and your distaste in Freud, but you never fully explained the ending other than giving a sloppy, no-armed jerk off finish on what you think love, loss and fatherly advice really is.

Brian reveals to Norval that after he left him and his mother, he fled to Bangkok where he and a group of three other men—Jethro, a large man named Dandy, and Gordon who was pretending to be Norval's father—kidnapped the daughter of the richest man in Thailand and successfully held her for a large ransom. Which, he guarantees the outcome by attempting to avoid it. As his father dies there on the beach, Norval apologizes to Brian that he never let his mother get over him. This movie is literally a Greek, Oedipal complex, attempt at de-tangling the chaos of fathers and sons amidst the inevitable tragedy of life. So Norval makes the trek out into the middle of nowhere, through the forest, and to a cabin on the coast of Oregon. Norval, wounded but alive, walks on foot back to the house where he left his father and lies down next to him on the lakeside.

Possibly other things too. It was his wrangling with his dead father that produced this script. Your email address will not be published. Notify me of followup comments via e-mail. After one of the worst deaths in the history of cinema involving Dandy’s genitals and a barbecue fork, we think that our protagonists are free to escape. Gotta fact check. The comedy-thriller is directed by Ant Timpson, who also produced The ABC’s of Death and stars everyone’s favourite hobbit, Elijah Wood. Norval, out of the blue, receives a letter from his father asking Norval to come visit him. Start here: Explaining Come to Daddy and that Crazy Ending. But what about that Come to Daddy (If that isn’t the most Oedipal movie title ever, I don’t know what is) ending? Come to Daddy is one of those films that bypassed many of us when it first released back in February 2020. Take a second to support Taylor Holmes on Patreon! Well, because 5 minutes after that, Norval realizes that this man, this dead man that he’s been talking to, isn’t his father. Such a great film.)

Thus the thought that this was a movie about death, loss, and learning. And finding passage into an underground basement location in the house, discovers his real father chained up and bloodied in the basement. But Norval’s happy reunion with Brian (Stephen McHattie), his father, is short-lived when his father begins taunting Norval and belittling him. So today, we will be explaining Come to Daddy and that crazy ending. Could be the nicest comment I receive all day. His father, Brian, is initially welcoming to him, but soon begins to display aggressive tendencies and taunt and insult Norval, even threatening him with physical violence. So, going into it, I just assumed that the movie would actually be an introspective affair. our efforts to rebel against everything that they are. #cometodaddyfilm pic.twitter.com/Xl1U56Vqlg. Learn how your comment data is processed. Check this film out now @elijahwood kills it (quite literally) pic.twitter.com/QYq7tKemda. These are Independent films still, but they are riddled with crazy levels of violence. Finding a hidden family photo album, Norval sees a photo of his father and realizes that the dead man is not his father at all. Wherein, finding Norval curled up in his trunk, would only have to bury a bolt into the kids throat and have it over. Come to Daddy is arguably one of the best independent films of 2020. For some mad reason, Norval stows away in the trunk of his car and plans to take revenge on Jethro, who drives to a motel where he has arranged to meet a prostitute. Can’t wait to see it, man.

Anyone? Freed to make a run for it, mid-escape from the house, Jethro returns to hunt the two men down.

He might as well have been saying to him, I know you don’t want to become me, but it’s too late now! The website's critics consensus reads, "Bloody horror with barbed wit, Come to Daddy anchors its brutal violence in a surprisingly mature approach to provocative themes". A story of inevitability, and desire for independence. Regardless, I’m really digging this new renaissance of Indie film-making vision. Brian fled the group with their shares of the money and has been on the run ever since, funding Norval and his mother's expensive way of life with the money. Jethro reveals to Norval that his mother was a prostitute who both Brian and Jethro slept with before Norval stabs him in the exposed part of his brain with the check spindle; Jethro exhales "Arthur!" That trailer actually does a pretty good job hiding the unravelingly crazy ride that this movie is. Hilarious, dark, unpredictable, and violent as all hell. And as he died, Jethro exclaims, “Arthur!” Very hurt, but alive, Norval walks back to the house to be reunited with his father. Literally? I just watched #ComeToDaddyFilm by @Timpson and it is one of the most BONKERS movies I’ve seen in a long time! This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. An extraordinarily life changing sort of request.

Come to Daddy is available for you to watch right now on Amazon Prime Video and the Google Play store. On his father's orders, he attempts to kill a man, Jethro, who arrives to torture his father, but Jethro escapes, promising revenge. Soon after beginning his attempts at reconnecting, and bonding, his father dies. Wait, what? At this point, the two characters walk slowly down the main street in one of the strangest scenes in the entire film, chatting as they go. Like, when the father dies? What would you like explained? He was stabbed in the face, but the crossbow was nowhere around. In the meantime, the coroner takes the body, embalms it, and due to a lack of space at the morgue, returns it to Brian at the house. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 86%, based on 94 reviews with an average rating of 6.89/10. Norval Greenwood (Elijah Wood), a privileged musician who still lives with his mother in a Beverly Hills mansion, receives a letter from his estranged father asking him to come and visit him. You make a very good point about the hiding in the trunk scene. But that is decidedly not what this movie is about. Upon finding Norval's luggage tag with his home address, Jethro loudly states his intention to kill Norval's mother as revenge. Or wasn’t. Holy shit! Norval was stabbed in the face with a receipt spike, not shot with a crossbow. But if it’s not, I really can’t help you. {{#media.focal_point}}. Looking for films to check out? And somewhere in the middle of the struggle, Brian has a massive heart attack and dies. What a wild ride! Come to Daddy is a 2019 black comedy thriller film directed by Ant Timpson.[3][4]. But no. Directed by Ant Timpson and starring Elijah Wood, surrounded by many other familiar faces, Come to Daddy is a horror-comedy-thriller. The prostitute is horrified that she's an accessory to Norval's death, but Norval stirs and exits the motel, finding Jethro has crashed his car into a sign that's partially decapitated him.

He then finds a hidden hatch in the house leading to a bunker beneath where he finds his real father bloodied and chained up. That’s the crazy ending that needed an actual explanation. I agree with the commenter who called it an opinionated rant and a misleading post. But ultimately Jethro escapes while promising to come back for them. If you haven’t seen the film, it tells the story of Norval Greenwood’s (played by Elijah Wood, you know, from Lord of the Rings…but more importantly, from I Don’t Feel At Home in this World Anymore. This story is the tragic telling of this fate. Simultaneously, Jethro arrives to torture Norval’s father again, and Brian let’s Norval know it’s up to him to kill this man or they are both dead. Alright, if you haven’t seen it yet, here are locations in which you can watch said unravelingness? No. Two dislocated fingers later, Norval finally frees Brian, his real father. Or maybe screenplay authors are crafting brilliant excuses for excessive violence wrapped up, and shrouded in, the idea of myth?
