I get so mad when people try to make a hero out of Claude Daigle. I don't care what anyone says- he wasn't someone to be looked up to or admired. He was a pervert. Claude wanted to marry his own mother!!! (you can ask the lady who cleans because she was present at the time) Ewww!!!!!!!! Please. Stop the hero worship- he doesn't deserve it.
I wanna buy your carbon offsets.
You're taking this much too seriously - and didn't the Greeks have a word for this?

I don't know if anyone in the movie was supposed to be Greek or not- maybe Reginald Tasker, but he was a minor character so who cares if he has a word for it. But I do and it's- Wrongo! That's right- Wrongo! What Claude Daigle had in mind for his mother was sick, perverted, immoral, appalling, insidious and pretty darn bad. I realize there's some sophisticates out there who think it's no be deal and have no problem making cult figures and heroes out of the likes of Che Guevara and Claude Daigle. Well, you and you're Greek friends can do whatever you want, just leave me out of it!

What in the world is the matter with you?!!
Claude Daigle was an innocent little boy. Yes, he loved his mother because she
loved him, encouraged him, took good care of him; she was a good mother to him.
Him saying he wanted to marry her, had NOTHING TO DO WITH SEXUAL PERVERSION!
That was his way of complimenting her, and in a sense, saying he wanted
to marry a girl like her when he grew up.
I have brothers who expressed that same desire (as little boys)and ended up marrying women who remind me of my own mother in so many ways. and trust me,
THERE WAS NO PERVERSION WHATSOEVER IN MY FAMILY!
Oh yeah....just so you know; THE CLAUDE DAIGLE FAN CLUB voted you out as
an undesirable who has disturbing, psychotic notions; SO DO NOT COME BACK!!!
"OOO...I'M GON' TELL MAMA!"
I agree with you - a little boy is likely to say he wants to marry his mother - what does a little boy think of marriage? Having someone who is motherly, who cooks for him, bakes for him, keeps the house clean, bandages his boo-boo's - reads him stories, etc - a little boy is not thinking of sex, particularly back in 1956 - before kids had access to computers, the internet, tons of tv, etc -

Yes, it's called an Oedipus Complex. In Greek mythology, Oedipus killed his father so that he would be free to marry his mother.
They sound like a lovely couple...

Oedipus didn't know his parents were his parents until it was too late. Long story. Didn't end happily for anyone involved.
sharehahahahaha!
This thread is a riot!
Oh for god's sake. If you knew anything about psychology, there's actually a theory that while children are that young, they do want to marry the opposite-sex parent, but it is not a sexual thing. It's more about the pure unconditional love the want when they marry. Grow up and read something before you make stupid comments. Btw, your post makes me think you are too young to see a movie like this anyway. Go watch Barney and Friends.

I think Rhoda did the little momma's boy a favor--I mean, who wants to go thru life with a name like 'Claude Daigle'???. His classmates taunted him with names like 'Clawed *beep* It wasn't murder, it was euthanasia. RHODA ROCKS!!!
