Tom is the owner of an American restaurant. He is a kind person. His wife is a lawyer. He has a son and a daughter. The boss has taken root in a small town in the United States, where the waves are calm, and he has experienced the simplicity of the folk customs. The small town where you can say hello to others on the street and get a response has a small population, but it is more humane and peaceful than the big city Philadelphia, so Tom's kind side is induced. The hidden murderousness of the past can be brought to the fore.

The heroic spirit of protecting the beloved buddy drove the shrewdness of the big city and killed the robbers. The media headline reported a small town hero. The atmosphere of chivalry and righteousness made the son very proud, and he knew that he had to inherit the style of his father. , The fist is not swung indiscriminately, and even if he takes a baseball hit that his opponent thought could win in physical education class, he is not complacent. When he is provoked, he tries his best to tolerate it, and he restrains his father's militant violence gene in his body.

The hero report attracted the enemy family to seek revenge. The father used Tom's tone to avoid the opponent's family. It was not until the soles of the enemy family stepped into the grass area that belonged to the family. , My sister's silent care, encouragement and smile is to reject the storm outside the home; my sister dreamed of a gangster shooting a little girl, my father and brother immediately comforted when they heard the cry, my brother said that ghosts and ghosts are most afraid of the lights that are on at night and will not turn them off The light is the father, the elder brother's internal confrontation and the protection of the weak younger sister from reality. Contempt for life, sudden death is brought in by an unknown little girl of the same age.

Violence is contagious. Dad had to kill the bad guy to make him a people's hero. When the TV crew interviewed the restaurant staff, they were shocked. They didn't expect that the boss who was easy to get along with would be very calm when he would kill someone. A knife was inserted in it, and after stabilizing the situation, he ignored the injury and called the police first. The son Jack believes that after reading the interview report in the newspaper, he found that his father's daily voice is low and there is a big gap in his image of being slow and slow. Since his father's violence and violence can be greatly appreciated, when he was discharged from the hospital, he was greeted and applauded by a large number of citizens. Insults? He decided it was an honorable heroic act to use violence at the right time and place, and he finally punched his opponent. The sprinkling of blood is different, the father's pre-emptive blood is the conditioned reflex of the usual murder in Philadelphia; the son is the humiliation of the big hero determined by the small town, and the instinctive counterattack of the father's murderous factor mixed in the blood.

Tom is a gentle dad and passive husband because he wants to hide the cruelty on the other side with a positive image. He married his wife, a lawyer. She has the characteristics of a lawyer's decisive and active career. She will take the initiative to put on cheerleading clothes and tease her shy husband. But another dark aspect of the husband emerges, the murderous Joey will rape his wife in the stairs, because this is his defeat in the battle of good and evil, desperately taking the initiative to be with his wife on the way to a good present, a bad one In the past, having sex in the middle of the stairs was a struggle between human nature.

The father was stained with the blood of the enemy, he hugged the son, the blood of the seeker stained the son's cheeks and clothes, the father's body temperature passed on the temperature of the blood, the movie intends to bring out the violence of the killing and the bad roots will be passed on from father to son; but the ending A dinner relieved my excessive worries: my father, who came home late, took the little girl's tableware, and my father showed gratitude. Home has always been a place of love, a tomb of murder in the past.
