We Need to Talk About Kevin begins with long shot of lead actress Swintons dream/nightmare. In
this dreamscape, viewers start inside a darkened home, slowly gliding toward an open door which
has sheer, white curtains hanging in front of it. The wind blows outside the open door, billowing the
curtains, pushing them inside the home, toward viewers. The sound of a sprinkler is heard in the
distance. Yet, before viewers get to the door, the scene cuts, jumping to an aerial shot on a large
crowd of people. (The first of many abrupt cuts the film will make.) The sprinkler sound is gone; the
sound of a cheering crowd replaces it. The people are standing outside, but packed together
tightly. As the camera moves around the scene, cutting from and back to aerial perspectives, the
audience notices that these people are covered in smashed tomatoes; this large group of people
represents some type of a festival or event that has broken out into a massive, tomato-throwing
food fight. Eva appears in the scene, arms outstretched, Christ-like, with several people carrying her
in the same position Jesus took on the cross. She is smiling, reveling in the chaos, slow motion. She
is already covered in the red, sticky tomato residue, but her carriers dunk her in a small vat of
smashed tomatoes. As Eva splashes, the sound in the background changes; it is no longer a crowd
cheering; the sound is now more frightening, like the sound of terrified, hurt people
panicking. Complimenting this sound, the camera cuts to a medium shot of splashes of red liquid,
now seeming to symbolize blood splattering.
