We were all that boy

This movie is very moving, and there is one little detail that resonates strongly with me, which is "the boy's quarrel with his father", although it only happens once in the movie, it happens thousands of times in real life. Who hasn't had puberty yet? I remember when I was young, every time my father "ordered" me, I would go against my father's wishes, and he always looked down on me and scolded me, and most of the time I would be dismissive on my face, Sometimes I refute verbally. Once my brain finally couldn't control my body. I waved my fist at my father. My father was also a powder keg. The two stopped. However, the boy in the movie has no mother. Occasionally I saw a comment saying "On the importance of a woman in a family", I thought about it carefully, it was really very important, every time my dad and I were about to fight, my mom would come out and sing a red face to stop a fight. A "World War" from the family. The story in the movie takes place in the United States, where beating children is strictly prohibited in the United States. If it happened in China, the children might be beaten several times. Children will grow up slowly, and gradually have the ability to defend themselves and even fight back, and the consequences will be unimaginable. When I was young, I always liked to talk a lot with my mother, but very few words with my father. Without my mother, I would probably be more withdrawn than the boys in the movies. The ending of the movie is very satisfactory. Both the boy and the father expressed their feelings and demands. They also understood each other and got back together. The boy's character has gradually changed from being withdrawn to being cheerful and sunny, and the change in his painting style also confirms this. To be honest, my father and I couldn’t have that kind of expressive ability when we were young, but my mother served as the link between father and son and helped me to have a happy and fulfilling childhood. I hope you can cherish your family more. If you have any contradictions, you can try to express them like in the movie, understand each other, and I believe you can understand who is the one who loves you the most.
