As a new father, I watched this movie while lying beside my nine-month-old son... I thought I had read countless movies, but I had to be moved by it. This is a movie with depth. People without depth will never be able to understand it. People with depth will never forget it. There are several controversial points in the film, which are where the depth is reflected: First, why did the mother leave alone? Because there are only two bullets for suicide, leaving a husband and son, how can a person without dedication know how to sacrifice himself to fulfill the greatness of others. Second, why did the father shoot his own son in an emergency? Dignity is more important than life, and the fate of my son being captured alive must be a hundred times worse than death. Third, why are the boys who grew up in the last days still kind and weak? Kindness is the nature of children, and there is a righteous father to guide them.
The same father and son have completely different situations in reality and movies. Take a look at myself who is lazy every day. I am usually not too willing to play with my son, but more of playing with mobile phones and various entertainments. The father in the film, in order to protect his son from death every day, even at the most critical moment, at the cost of killing his own son with his own hands, to save his son from suffering. It's hard to imagine how much courage it takes to be such a father? And as a father, what kind of choices would I make in such a situation? This is the greatest grief in the world!
The father's love in the world should be similar, although the situation is different, the manifestations are also similar. The father and son in the film have perseverance when they have experienced all kinds of deadly ordeals in the journey of doomsday, the laughter of bathing in wild waterfalls in their spare time, and the joy of finding food on the verge of starvation. Compared with ordinary life, changes have become extremely sharp and profound in hardships!
As fathers, how long can we accompany our children? It is nothing more than just like the father in the film, all he expects is that the children can stick to the kindness in their hearts. This is a good movie, he can teach a person how to be a qualified father, that's all!
