Ultimately, Normal is a film about the pathology of conformity. It argues that the most dangerous word in any language is not a slur, but the word “normal” itself. When we define a rigid standard of normalcy, we automatically create an army of the abnormal, the outcasts, the scapegoats. To watch this film is to recognize that the boy in the story is not an anomaly; he is a warning. He is the kid in your class who was always a little strange, the neighbor who kept to himself, the person whose only crime was not knowing how to perform “normal” correctly.
