The two most commendable main points of the film are that the material is genuine and ordinary. In such a family, more or less everyone has such experiences or shadows in their lives. There is no obvious huge ups and downs in the plot, but the film is a little bit. It is not dull, you are willing to follow the silence; but the acting skills of the actors are perfect, especially in the expression of emotions and psychology. Little Lizi needless to say, and Depp is even more aware of the details. For example, after the sound of the Brigitte camper starting on a rainy day, Depp was at a loss. For example, Depp's slaps after forcing Xiao Lizi to take a shower the night before his birthday but not giving in, that kind of anxiety, depression and hysteria. Another example is the crazy smashing of the pillar supporting the meat ball in the basement after the mother died, that kind of out of control, catharsis and so on. It's really all about the film's intricate detail.
What is Albert's role after all? A family of five, the only normal adult man in the family, brother, brother, son, father, this is the obligation and responsibility that ordinary but realistic life brings him to bear. The dullness of the film is also reflected in its behavior, its mentality. Thinking about it, such a reality and such a fate, no matter who it is, as long as it is a "good person", he can only choose to submit and endure silently. There is no filial son before the bed for a long time. In this case, the responsibility is greater than the love. Under this circumstance, what about the ideal pursuit of love romance? Therefore, in terms of human nature, Albert is repressed, monotonous and incomplete, which is reflected in his emotional interactions with the wife and even in his love affair with Brigitte, especially kissing, he is completely passive , because he lacks the desire of self and the active exploration of a better life and spiritual experience
. Mom's last words are actually the best conclusion to the first half of Albert's character. A heroic warrior. Loyalty, forbearance and restraint, hard work and high achievements, tied to the world, sympathetic to others, self-denial for others. . . . But the ending of the samurai is often very tragic, and the more heroic the more tragic. Because there is no ego, we must give up the ego. Such a life, such a fate, is a bit scary to think about, and the key is that you can't find a way to actively change it. Can you leave without saying goodbye? Can you make all the drags of life go away? The answer is no. If it is not cold-blooded, it must be endured, and if it cannot be changed, it must be submissive. However, there is still a long way to go. Life is to be lived day by day, and it is far from being as easy as what is written or said. If Albert's life goes on like this, he will undoubtedly be swallowed up, by responsibility, by others, by fate, by life, by conscience. Others are hell.
However, the film finally gave good people a good reward. An angel unexpectedly appeared in his dull and irritable life. Just because I saw you one more time in the crowd, the world changed forever. So, Albert is lucky again. Brigitte revives his heart and makes him think about ideals and pursuits, for himself. Therefore, the closed door of self, because of the knock of love, slowly and cautiously opened. Changes followed. Mother slept peacefully. She didn’t become a laughing stock because she fell into the soil. Her past life ended with the disappearance of the old house and her mother. The older sister and younger sister were also independent. Only the mentally retarded younger brother was still by his side. However, it was already very good, his only tie. People always have to be entangled, otherwise it will be another kind of loneliness and nothingness. So, in the end, the fairy tale ending made us believe that he must have a different sky, and he must have lived a happy life with Brigitte.
In addition, there is one more point I want to briefly talk about. Many parents are talking about whether their children are good or bad. In fact, they can understand something after watching the film. Albert in a typical adversity, there are bright spots in his personality, and there are also unfinished and even pitiful things. Some people admire [the lady said that he hopes his son will be like him in the future], and some people think that [Brigitte] needs to be changed. So in the end, there is no absolute good or bad, and adversity can make a person face reality, break free from fantasy, grow and mature. Prosperity can make people expand their minds, be full of genius, be free and fly. The more you experience, the wider and stronger your heart will be.
Finally, back to the title. No matter whether you are enduring the arrows and stones of fate, no matter how much or little you are enduring the unbearable light or heavy in life, please be like Albert first, be a good person, and then, hope you can find your Brigitte , accompany you to share life, change destiny, understand each other, release yourself, and enjoy the joy and touch brought by each other.
