was taught a few days ago that there are several typical types of parents, one is indifferent, the other is authoritarian, and the third is authoritative. Encourage parenthood, develop towards authoritative parents, and avoid indifference and authoritarianism. Such a family's education will have a better orientation.
Most of the children we see are pessimistic, optimistic, knowledgeable, reasonable, or sloppy. What's behind this is not the display of the child's character, but the most intuitive manifestation of a family. In other words, a child represents everything in your family.
I agree with this, especially with small children.
Robert Downey Jr. played a successful bad lawyer who graduated from a prestigious school and became famous. The fees are high, but serving the wealthy who have committed crimes but can afford it under the law, with bad attitudes and often nasty words.
Behind the success of his career, he has a strange family, a wife who is about to divorce and cheating, and a daughter he loves very much. Only in front of his daughter, all his evil side will be covered up, in front of children, he is earnest and enticing, extremely patient.
At a critical moment, he got the news of his mother's death and drove away after a big fight with his divorced wife. After his wife's ranting behind the scenes, we discovered that he obviously had very little involvement in his daughter's concern and life's growth.
The death of his mother sent him back to the small town where he grew up, Indiana. It also began to strip away a strange family relationship, a small town judge for forty years and three sons. Connie came in second. The eldest was a quasi-professional baseball player who won many awards. The third child is a film lover with a little mental retardation, and he makes some life films. Second child, secularly speaking, it is best to mix.
Because the judge's father had cancer and underwent chemotherapy, his memory would be intermittently lost, so he was involved in a murder case. The story that Coney finally debated on behalf of his father is simple, but it uncovers all of the family's past. Dad was just right. When Connie was 17 years old, he did a lot of troublesome things. Normally, it can be handled lightly, community labor, but in order to educate the child strictly, Dad sent him to another place. The father-son relationship has left a great psychological shadow.
(Father and son can sit down and talk. It's really hard to talk briefly.)
The boss has a bright future, but because Connie was drunk and driving, the boss's hand was broken, and after 20 years, a professional baseball player became a professional baseball player. A typical mediocre middle-aged man with a pot belly who sells auto tire accessories.
Connie went abroad because of his father's strictness and never returned home. And the mother also often blames the father because Connie doesn't come home, forming a strange reincarnation.
The third child recorded a lot of beautiful pasts with the camera, but everyone can't face the beauty of the past. When they see it, they will feel that today's irritability is indescribable.
Such a family is reunited again because of the funeral of the mother. All right and wrong are entangled and torn in it, and there is no dialectical right or wrong, but you can feel the entanglement.
For no reason, it's not a perfect family, but it's real. The relationship between father and son is more complicated in the complex family relationship, known as the fighter among the roosters. The game of values between the two sides, the confrontation of words, and the different angles all bring a tense atmosphere to the whole film.
(I like that buddy of Frozen Blood)
An old man on the verge of death who got into a lawsuit, and a son who came home halfway, arguing for his father. In the end, can family love overcome all the past and unhappiness, so as to usher in a perfect ending?
This is not what I want to express.
Everyone of us today, eventually most of them become our parents, whether it is the way of speech or a lot of habits, although the local accent is gone, the material is rich. But in fact, at the age of three, your life has been written by your parents. This also shows how difficult and precious is the education of a child at the age of three.
Every family will have problems in all aspects, even if it seems to be harmonious, there is a story behind it. The typical ones are the children's competition for favor, family property disputes, disputes between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, too many poor relatives, water, electricity and sundries, differences between sister-in-law, father and son, and brother-in-law.
You can't solve it at all. People are often limited in their own inch of land. , cannot be avoided. Everyone regards the family as their own square inch, so although the family is small, it is always filled with gunpowder smoke. This is a different kind of battlefield, never ending.
The invisible person in the family, the old man or the husband, is like the recorder of the third child, following, seeing, and giving some unimportant opinions, but the facts are the facts. Only in the family, everyone will show their original, kind or unkind self, competing for emotional and alienating interests.
(Father and son fight side by side, but do not understand each other)
There are two scenes in the film that make us feel warm. When Robert Coney Jr kept telling his daughter how strict and harsh your grandfather was, he didn't like to laugh. In the end, the father brought his granddaughter, amiable and humorous. Another scene is that in the end, on the lake, the father and son face each other, reminiscing about the past. In the end, the father suddenly passed away. The scene was quiet, without a word. The restrained sadness and restraint of Robert Coney Jr. can feel that there are waves like the ocean in his heart.
Perhaps restraint is the best temperament in a family.
