In the United States, breakup letters written by girlfriends from hometown usually begin with Dear John, so the translation of the film "Dear John" into "Breakup Letter" can be regarded as a literal translation. The film was released on Valentine's Day, and is said to have earned a lot of tears and money, compared to "Avatar". But if you want to see how poignant love is in this movie, your plans will definitely fail. What I saw was two weeks of fun and inexplicable falling in love, and then six or seven years of separation. There were only correspondence between them. The heroine broke up inexplicably, the male pig's foot was considerate after learning of the situation, and then the happy ending. All this seems incredible to me. Entering the 21st century, is there still such pure love in the world? Is there anyone else so persistent?
The movie was released on Valentine's Day, of course, is about love. The most touching thing is not the inexplicable love between the male and female protagonists, but the father-son relationship between the male pig's feet and his father.
The father of the male pig is actually an autistic patient, and his wife is probably also flying him because of this. How difficult it is for such a "patient" to raise a boy alone, being both a father and a mother. Communication is not their only but biggest obstacle. The boy's father can also communicate with him by collecting coins. When the male pig passed the age of a teenager and lost interest in coins, the poor father could only be silent on the coins all day long, and even forgot to change the milk in the refrigerator. Mild autism finally broke out. It's hard to imagine how these 2 men have come through so many years.
In fact, the male pig's feet has always been aware of his father's "sickness", but he dare not admit it to himself. So when the heroine said it to him, he got angry. This kind of anger is the love of his own father, and it is also full of self-blame. Such self-blame came to a head when he read a letter to his father, who was pushed down a hospital aisle. It is said that many people cried when they saw this scene in the movie theater.
In fact, my eyes are also a little wet. I think of my father far away from home. When I came home during the Spring Festival, I found that my father's hair was gray. It seems that communication with his father has become very little as an adult. When I was young, my father was a banner. My dream is to be like my father. I remember when I was in junior high and high school, I often argued with my father about my views on so-and-so. Every time I go home after college, as my mind matures, I am speechless when facing each other, and can only watch TV together silently. After work, every phone call only takes a few minutes. There seems to be nothing to say other than telling him to pay attention to his body.
A grown man, like an eagle, will eventually leave his father, leave the warm nest, and soar in the sky.
Hope father is all well.
