The director of this film is quite talented and can tell the whole story in one room, through the conversation of two couples. There will be some spoilers involved later, but for this movie, its attractive part is not the content, but its wonderful dialogue and expressive acting skills.
The story is very simple, a child beat another child. He was hit in the face with a stick, injuring the other's face and losing two front teeth. The parents of the beater came to the victim's home to communicate and coordinate. The two families are civilized people, warm and generous. As the topics of discussion increased, the disguise was gradually torn off. There are a few moments in the whole story worth remembering
When the two families first met, the victim's mother recorded what happened on the computer. When she described Zach's use of a stick as a weapon, Walker, the assailant's father, said it was carried rather than armed. That is to say, Zach just picked up the stick and didn't intend to use the stick as a weapon. The victim's mother immediately changed it. They also had a more polite conversation. Not arguing over some minor issues. Let the audience sigh that in capitalist countries, conflicts between children are handled in a civilized and polite way by parents. The child who was beaten lost two front teeth and his facial nerve was damaged, which is still a bit serious. However, the parents on both sides behaved very calmly. They respected each other's children and did not want to cause more harm to the children. However, as they talked, their inner thoughts were gradually revealed.
Walker and his wife got up to leave after enjoying the fruit pie. At the door, the victim's mother suggested that the other party could take the child to see him again. Allow children to communicate and resolve conflicts. But the other party was not so positive. Walker was still busy on his phone, saying that he could not come. This made it difficult for the parents of the beaten to accept. Immediately, they were invited into the house for another cup of real coffee, and at this point, they sat together again. I was going to leave, but when the opinions have not reached a consensus, they can come back and continue their communication. Originally, the two sides met with ideas, and they have been hiding their inner dissatisfaction and communicated in a civilized way. Even when communication encounters unpleasantness, he can carve himself and insist on continuing to communicate. In fact, in society, people can control their emotions and deal with problems rationally. And there is a knot in my heart that cannot be solved, and I cannot let it go, but communicate and resolve it. If we think from another perspective, in this situation, will we be easily provoked, replaced by a series of quarrels, and then leave with unresolved contradictions, planting the seeds of hatred from now on. If you always insist on your own ideas in the conversation, you will often deviate from the original intention of communication, and hatred will start to grow.
When they entered the house this time, they were no longer as peaceful and enthusiastic as before, and the conversation was full of irony. At this time, they were already sitting together again with emotion. Immediately afterwards, the mother of the beater felt sick in her stomach and vomited onto the table. The book collection that the mother of the beater liked was soiled. Walker kept calling to impatient his wife, and then the phone was snatched and thrown into the water in the flower pot. Walker had been negotiating an important business over the phone. At this point, everyone's emotions have been aroused, and they can no longer maintain the original calm. From insisting on protecting their children and no longer considering the other's parents' thoughts, and ignoring the feelings of the other person they live with due to conflicts in family life, they have exploded under the guidance of various factors. As the saying goes, bystanders are clear, and those in the game are lost. If you don't look at things objectively, temporary thoughts will often become obsessions, affecting real judgment. If you let the obsession continue to develop, it will get out of hand. Aren't all those emotionally hurtful incidents like this? Don't the parties regret it afterwards? When conflicts occur, take a deep breath and let your brain cool down so that you can see more real.
There are also wonderful dialogues that promote the development of the plot in the play. Everyone's eloquence is good. Enthusiasm, relief, sarcasm, and shirk can all be expressed in appropriate, energetic ways. Language is a bridge to build the soul, but also a knife that hurts people. Good eloquence is your advantage, you can better express your psychology, build good interpersonal relationships, and don't let it become your own scourge and deliver harm.
The best thing is to complain about domestic movies. After watching 'Buried Alive' and 'The Man Comes to My Earth', they are also influenced by small scenes. In fact, the scenes are already too small and can't be any smaller, but they can show a tense plot, and can still leave the audience a certain amount of time. think. The quality of a movie is not determined by factors such as investment and stars, but by the attitude of the producer. I hope that domestic films can correct their posture, have less majesty, asura, and more works with connotation and nutrition. Movies are to be left to future generations. If a movie is labeled as a bad movie, its crew will also carry this label, and it will continue to be passed down.
