life parabola

Movies with a happy ending are more in line with human psychological defense mechanisms and rationalize any bad things. Take a section from life and interpret it into a story from the trough to the peak. The protagonist Benjamin is optimistic, brave, and adventurous. It is very hard to take care of two children by himself after his wife's death. From the young daughter's well-behaved and independent, it can be seen that the husband and wife's children's education is relatively successful. But the eldest son in the film is unhappy and pessimistic, and his inner world can be glimpsed from his paintings. Adolescence is indeed a scary time.
