At the beginning, the green forest, the sunshine, the flower deer... The feeling of summer came to my face. The boy hunted a deer, completed the rite of passage, and became a real man.

The film tells the story of an uncle who rejects the social and mainstream education methods, takes his six children away from the hustle and bustle of society, and breathes the fresh air of nature in the environment. There are also various fields such as literature, physics, philosophy, novels, and politics. The most annoying thing is that the family's musical foundation is also good, and they can play ensembles from time to time. The various bottles and jars stored in the title, home-brewed wine, the children showing their skillful knife skills in decomposing "food", and the expression of ideas all reflect the children's achievements. In contrast, the children of friends' families are like a mentally handicapped.

Thinking about it carefully, in the current fast-paced era, there is more and more spam, and it is worth thinking about how to spend limited time on the cutting edge. The uncle in the movie makes a deliberate decision to build a utopia with his wife, but things don't go in the ideal direction. This is a deep V-shaped story. In the early stage, it described the "Li Ziqi"-like daily life of the father and the children. The father's excessive control caused disputes. Father started the last "rescue" mission with good intentions, cremated according to the last words left by her mother, and ended her happy life by singing "Sweet Child O' Mine".

There are no taboos in the uncle's "world", everything is transparent, and they have been instilled with hippie ideas since childhood. As long as you have questions, whether it is politics, sex, violence, or drugs, I will patiently explain it to you; if you read junk books, I will discuss with you to discuss whether you have the ability to think independently and avoid wrong detours; exercise independence, When they encounter trouble, guide them to find a way to deal with it (can you think of giving children knives as gifts?) Although this method is good, it is too "dictatorial", and it is necessary to properly contact the society to obtain the latest current affairs and exercise their communication With emotional intelligence capabilities.

I really like the words my father sent his eldest son to college, "Respect everyone, be strong, don't waste time, cherish today as the end of the day, don't be afraid to take risks and enjoy, because time is gone forever, the most The important thing is to cherish life." If you do this, you will have no regrets even if tomorrow is the end of the world. It's not easy to be a father and a friend, but also to be a role model and a hero.
