Is it worth it

When I first watched it, it was very depressing. I don't know why it was a light comedy, but after watching it, I was full of emotion and sadness. A couple, far away from the world, raised in the mountains on the west coast of the United States. , educate six children. His wife returned to modern society for treatment due to illness, and his father still led the children to hunt, fight, climb and dissect in the deep jungle day after day. Teaching survival skills by precept and example. At night, they listened to classical music by the bonfire, learned musical instruments, listened to their father's explanation of history, philosophy, medicine, social law, and discussed what they thought and gained in an open-ended and heated manner. The richness of the spiritual world is many times ahead of the "outside world". When the news of the mother's death came, the children decided to go out of the mountains and go to the city to attend the "mortal funeral". They vowed to take back the mother's body and cremated it according to her wishes, not the coffin buried in the earth according to worldly arrangements. In the play, a father stubbornly uses his own way to take care of his children. Rather, he completes a development game in his own way. The whole process is full of puppet-like loneliness. Fortunately, at the end It is an ending that gives up one's own vision, and it also makes a depressing sky slowly brighten up.
