My first thought about it:
He was born into the world without any love, he was clueless about everything around him and what was even happening to him( in terms of his gift), he was a good boy only if he got the love and help he needed, he was used and dehumanised......just felt sorry for him, From his first heartbeat he felt the cruelty of the world.......
Final thought:
The movie was just an act to be enjoyed, don't try to understand it .
Nice movie
