This is the segment that impressed me the most in the whole play. This clip clearly and profoundly embodies Christie's family relationship-an understanding mother, a silent father, and peaceful brothers and sisters.
Brenda Fricker, the actor of this great mother, won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 1990. While admiring her acting skills, we were also moved by the great motherhood she expressed.
The mother is raising a total of six children in the family, including Christie, who was born with cerebral palsy. In the family, she gave Christie the most care and devoted the most. It can even be said that the formation of Christie's personality, and the final success, are mostly due to the influence of his mother-this influence is not only the patience in caring, but also the strictness of personality development and the subtle influence of spirit.
She didn't complain about herself because of her son's congenital disability, she made a cart to let him contact the outside world. She waited patiently for the silent child to write crookedly on the blackboard. She understands her son’s interest and desire to paint, but she sternly said to the coal they stole: “This kind of thing cannot enter the door of Brown’s house!” When Christie fell into a fascination with Dr. Irene, the world The woman who knew him best said: "I heard too much expectation in his voice." When he was lost in love and lost himself, his mother said "You gave up, I haven't yet." She built a room for him. , She waited for him to recover, she did everything for him.
Maternal love is not all that a mother affects her child. I think that the mother's own personality and strength are the dependence of the child's growth. She secretly saved money and wanted to buy a wheelchair for him-even if the whole family was eating porridge, the money would not be taken out. This cannot be called a preference. She is telling the other children that Kriski is you. Brother, we must spare no effort to love him. She protects other children. When her sister is pregnant and forced to leave home, she protects the child and stands on the side of the child to inform the father. Even she is a bridge between the bad-spoken father and the children-when the father and the children are building bricks, she secretly asks the children to let the father "let him, it will make him happy, this is the father One of the ways to express love to you." It
can be said that at the moment Kriskitty blows out the fire of hell, it is his mother who gave him enough courage.
Some people think that his father plays a grumpy, unsympathetic role in the whole film, and sometimes even a "villain". In fact, they didn't have to see the same hot and soft soul hidden in the body of this rough Irish man. He is not a mother, and of course he is not as careful. He has a heavy family burden. He is just a bricklayer at work (even being fired). He doesn’t have the patience to watch Christie’s scribbles on the blackboard, but he After seeing the word "mother" clearly, the happy father put Chriskey on his shoulders and opened the door of the bar proudly announcing: "This is the person from the Browns!" His family management mode is a bit rough and rough. Autocracy, but in European families at the beginning of the 20th century, this was the most common situation. But when he was angry, he never did anything to Kriski. After he found in the chimney that his mother wanted to buy a wheelchair for Kriski’s stolen private money, he asked his mother why he let the whole family drink porridge, but in the end, Kriski still owned a wheelchair-his father didn't move a penny. In the last few days of his life, the father who was not good at words and seemed to hate the children in the family was still building bricks for his handicapped son.
The children are all in the eyes, although the father will not express it, which is why in the end the children smashed the tavern that his father often went to together-in order to respect his father.
Among brothers and sisters with disabilities, others will inevitably feel a little ashamed. But Kriski’s family atmosphere is very good-brothers and neighbors’ children push his broken car and take him to play with him, so that he will not be withdrawn.
They even regard him as the best goalkeeper and extravagant hand, that makes the sense of pride and gregarious pride not far away from him.
They are happy to wait for his slanted handwriting to be recognized. They are happy to take him on dates with the girls. They are happy to let him participate in Halloween activities, which makes him feel what a normal child should have in life— -The thirst for knowledge, the penetration of culture and society, and the interaction with the opposite sex.
In the end, his autobiography was also done by his brother with the help of him.
Together, they waited at the table for their mother to open the piggy bank and saw the household they had earned for her. They happily patted the table, and cheers rang the whole house. The united and harmonious family atmosphere and the friendship between brothers and sisters also constitute Christy's power to blow out the fire of hell.
It is these three forces, of course, medical help, etc. that prevent Kriski from becoming a person who uses a disability as an excuse to spend his days in a wheelchair. He has acquired a healthy personality, brave and tough. On the other hand, his achievements in fine arts have to be attributed to his own talents. A family as poor as his, without the conditions to train a painter, is his own talent and love for fine arts, which made him use the left. From the moment I picked up the chalk with my feet, I worked tirelessly to paint. But we can say that talents are preserved in everyone, if they were not born in such a family. Kriski is just a man with only his left foot, and fortunately, he is a great man with only his left foot.
