Normal people after watching "The Boy":
Then after watching "Brahms: The Boy II":
I love "The Boy" a lot. Brahms is my baby Xd
If Greta had just OPENED THE DOOR in the sandwich scene, the entire movie wouldn’t have even happened. There were SO many times when Brahms was like right around the corner, homegirl was so oblivious
why do i feel my brahms heelshire hyperfixation creeping back after 2 years…

just found out people simp for Brahms and maybe it’s the fact that i hate porcelain dolls with a passion but i don’t like it
you can think what im crazy BUT HIS HANDS—🙏🏻🙏🏻
who am i if not a slasher whore (and slut)
I can't help but notice how many people like to say that Brahms is rich. People will be like: 'Greta made a mistake in choosing Malcolm when she had a perfectly good rich guy right there.' and stuff, right?
But, I'm over here like: "...N-no? He really isn't? lol."
I know most of these people are meaning it as a joke, but this has been in my head for days and it won't leave me alone, so I have to make a post about it or I'll never know peace, lmao.
Now, I can see why they'd make this connection, right? He lives in a mansion, his parents are rich, and his parents are dead. Problem is, as far as everyone else is concerned, so is he.
The way this kind of thing works(take what I say with a grain of salt, I'm not good with legal stuff.), is that when someone dies, they can leave their possessions to people in their will, right? Well, you can't leave money or possessions to people who are already dead.
Brahms was given a headstone, everyone in the nearby towns believes that he's dead, and the Heelshires likely had a funeral, so as far as everyone else is concerned, Brahms isn't alive. Thus, it's very likely that the government is under that same assumption, meaning that Brahms wouldn't be in the Heelshire's will by default. (Now this would be different if he was thought to have died recently, or if Brahms had kids of his own, but since he was thought to have died when he was eight and is twenty-eight in the movie, both of those things are impossible.)
If anything, I feel like the Heelshires may have left their money to Greta, since they assumed she'd be taking care of him from then on?
If we're going with that, that leaves Greta with an unknown amount of money (Though likely a lot), a manor, one less crazy ex-boyfriend to worry about, and Malcolm by the end of the movie.
Brahms isn't rich. Hell, Brahms is pretty much two steps away from homeless, really. After all, the manor is either in Greta's name now, or its just sitting there, so it could be repossessed and resold at any time.
Honestly, that just makes the entire situation for him worse. One moment, you're banished to the walls of your house for years on end after being accused of killing your one friend, the next, your stabbed, abandoned, and left to fend for yourself without any resources while being legally dead.
It's kind of tragic. Especially if you read his backstory as sympathetic like I did. Damn.
No doubt, one of my favorite things about ‘The Boy (2016)’ was how much of it was left up to your imagination and interpretation. (Death of the author, ofc. Only keeping the movie itself in mind.)
We got almost no concrete proof for anything the movie tells us about Brahms’ backstory, and what we do know can lead to multiple conclusions about the character.
The whole ‘he killed Emily’ thing, for instance. This is something we’re told by Malcom, who prefaces what he says by directly mentioning that this is town gossip. Which is untrue or, at best, only half-true. (Take it from someone who’s lived in a small town and had gossip and rumors spread about me and my loved ones, they’re usually spread with very little of the original context and, usually, turns into ‘I think this happened’ instead of facts, or ends up being a giant game of telephone... or both.) We get a picture of a girl, showing that there was, in fact, an ‘Emily’ that Brahms knew, but other than that, we get nothing.
For all we know, Emily could’ve fell and hit her head on a rock, and people started blaming Brahms for it. There’s no concrete evidence proving it either way, and I love it.
We don’t even know that much about Brahms, really. He’s a craftsman (As seen in the ending scene.), he makes traps (The rat traps everywhere with his initials.), he can make a sandwich, he enjoys having a set schedule, and he can’t live by himself (At least, as far as we know.). ...That’s really all we know besides him being forced into the walls by his parents and being twenty-eight in the film. We also hear that he was apparently ‘Odd’, which, considering his clearly snooty-ish upbringing, could mean a lot of things.
Why is he acting like a kid? It could be a manipulation tactic, it could be a sign of mental illness, or it could be a coping mechanism. Again, it's up to your interpretation.
Personally, I see all this and think: "He’s a traumatized man who’s possibly autistic (Schedule, traps may be a special interest, can’t properly live by himself, etc.), falsely rumored to have murdered his one friend, burned in a fire set by his (possibly ableist) parents, and was gaslit and manipulated into thinking Emily’s death really was his fault."
But that’s just how I see it, of course. I imagine there could be many ways someone could interpret the film. (For instance, my sister watched it and came out the other side with: ‘he’s guilty, creepy, and severely in need of psychological help’.) and that’s great, I love it!
I wish more ‘horror-ish’ movies did this. Most present horror is jump scares and gore with little to no substance, and while I enjoy a bit of gore here and there, it can be pretty tiring. (Aka: Why I loved ‘The Collector’ but disliked its sequel ‘The Collection’, lol.)
I normally dont draw in other styles so i tried to draw more like chibi in the first one and i think it turn out really cute!
me when i draw instead of focusing on math/spanish
I’ve been thinking abt Brahms lately…idk man I just…mmm wall man <3
Like I know he is probably super quiet bc he’s just sneaky like that but I feel like if you’re actively fucking him he is a whimpering MESS as he just destroys you like UGH yes bro. He’s the most peggable fucking slasher I mean THE CARDIGAN!! THE FUCKING CARDIGAN!!! I have never wanted to dominate a man so much in my life but LIKE CMONNN
- 🎠
Bestie he is one of the most peggable characters EVER. Definitely a little mama’s/daddy’s boy. Also a total brat who definitely needs a set of rules to follow with punishments and rewards.
I love his cardigan 😌
horror movies are so good because of deep and interesting themes like BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD KILL BLOOD VIOLENCE GHOST WERE WOLF VANPIRE ZOMBIEE BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD SLAY! SLAY! SLAY!
