I cry every single time

It was emotional seeing the villain fight so hard to get her life and family back.
Yes, I understood what he was trying to portray with the protagonist who we've been vying for becoming the villain and other stuff but why did our supposed villain say at the beginning that "things would have been better if the girl had taken her with her and they would have lived together"? I have no idea what he tried to portray with that but anyways, I've heard so much about Jordan Peele being an awesome director. I'll definitely check out other of his movies when I have the opportunity.
Thank you
