    The plot setting is too rigid and the film is exhausted. The father must teach the child to drive, the father must give the elder son a watch, and the father must help the younger son overcome his fear of heights. This is basically a genre film...

    One of the movies on Father’s Day: I thought it would be a story about a father and son who have been separated for many years regaining their father-son friendship, but the plot development far exceeded my expectations. I don't know enough about the history of the Soviet Union, I guess, could it be that "the Soviet government's eagerness to control the minds of its people led to its disintegration"? ...After watching the movie, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this film is directed by...

    distressed children

    Personal viewing notes. Be careful with spoilers.

    Use a journey to express the father-son relationship. Use the seven days of the week to divide each section naturally. Weather is fickle. The technical dad solves the car stuck in the mud pit all the way, paints asphalt for the broken ship and sets...

    patriarchy

    This is something with a huge hide behind it, and the more I see it, the more certain it is. The more the three actors are pushed down, the more obvious the implication is.
     
    In fact, this is a very twisted movie, especially the little boy Ivan as the hero, who is so fucking twisting the child, from...
