Orphan is the movie which is a very challenging for the audience to understand and go with the flow of the movie plot. It started when a tragic loss of unborn child (Jessica) has devastated Kate and John, taking a toll on both their marriage and Kate's fragile psyche as she is plagued by nightmares and haunted by demons from her past. They decided to adopt Esther, a 9 year-old Russian girl they had met, from the local orphanage.
Kate grows suspicious when Esther, who watched Kate and John have sex, expresses far more knowledge of sex and its slang than would be expected for a child her age. Not long after Esther arrives, she pushes a schoolmate down a playground slide, who had picked on her, breaking her ankle. She is also hurt her brother and sister (Danial and Max). She also like her own adopt father and tries to attract him. Kate is told by the orphanage that they cannot find any record of the Russian orphanage Esther came from. However, John does not believe her, despite continued ominous behavior by Esther.
Kate learns that Esther was housed at a mental institution in Estonia called the Saarne Institute, but when she expresses misgivings to John, he and her counselor think that Kate is relapsing into her drinking habit. After John produces the other bottle Kate bought the night before, he threatens to leave her unless she gets help.
Danial has been murdered by Esther in the hospital after she have hurted him and Kate believes that Esther whom killing her son and she tried to hit her but the doctor gave her a sedative. As Kate is coming out of sedation, she gets a call from the Saarne Institute's director, Dr. Värava, who reveals that Esther isn't a 9-year-old girl at all, but a 33-year-old woman named Leena Klammer. She has hypopituitarism, a disorder that stunted her physical growth, and has spent most of her life posing as a little girl. The doctor tells Kate that Esther is dangerously psychotic, and Kate should rush home to her family.
As the ending for the story, Kate and Esther struggle as Esther attempts to stab Kate. Max is watching the struggle from above the pond, and comes down the hill to grab the gun that was dropped during the chase. She shoots the ice, which cracks and both Kate and Esther fall in. Kate crawls out of the hole, followed by Esther, who begs for her life, addressing Kate as "Mommy". Kate angrily responds that she is not her mother and kicks Esther in the face, possibly breaking her neck and sending her back into the pond.
From the side of the story, many of norms and values can be seen such as loves, anger, revenge, jealousy and more. A girl who has a disease that she cannot really accept her fewer finally has a mental problem. Then, she started acted weird and psycho. Tries to attracted attentions from someone she loves who is her adopt father and became so fierce and gets to demolish her adopt mother. At this side, this poor girl is having a serious problem that supposedly the responsible person who knew she has a disease like this should take a good care of her. Moreover, she have to be attended the psychiatric because not everyone could accepted that she has a hypopituitarism.
The evil thing insides the Esther should be flatten in the beginning by the sisters in the orphanage not until she has done an evil thing to the family. So, the bad things would not be happen to them as goes to the ending of the story. She should be counseling in the orphanage not just let her do her own stuffs and acted like deviance compare to other kids.
The audience should seize some moral of this movies into their life such as be more concern to the surrounding even you closely knew the person. Then, it also does give a lesson to the audience who has a weird disease, they should try to accept it not to revenge it to other innocent people as to satisfy your own feelings.
The fear character that brought by the kids of Kate and husband is normal to other typical kids especially after they have been warned by Esther that she would harm them if they do tell their parents about what she did before that refers of her crimes. As parents, they should be alarmed of their kids nature and personality like if they started to act weird and hiding something. Do not ignore it and does not care about them because at the end, it will affect them too.
The husband of Kate as for me, he should trust her own wife rather than his adopt daughter. As assuming his wife is drunk or what so ever, he should reconsider what makes Kate talk’s bad things about Esther because it must be roots that make Kate talked like that. Not just simply came out from his wife. If he trusted what his wife said before, the more bad things would not happen to the family.
From my own opinion, 'ORPHAN' is a interesting movie that must be watch by everyone because despite of the director put some value of elements, he also touches the audiences feelings and makes them likely to say "what happen next.." and sort of. So, there is no "wasting " word if it comes to this movie.
