One morning, I was driving on the broad avenues of this southern city. I probably heard some news, and I said to the man next to me, "Now, children are really the focus of every family." The man unexpectedly objected, "It's not entirely right, everyone is It’s the focus of the family, children, but because they need to be taken care of, so they will pay more attention.” The general meaning is: willful people will be favored, weak people will be favored, and willful and weak people will be favored. will be loved more.
Such as children, but also such as the elderly.
Although the patience of the latter is much more passive than the former.
The old father in the film seems to be the most capricious one in the family.
He got an ad-like flyer letter, "You won a million dollars, sir."
So the old gentleman believed it, and looked expectantly at Lincoln, at Nebraska, a short distance away. thousands of kilometers.
When an old man reaches a certain age, he will be forgotten by life, his interests, his brilliance, his past, and he will only remember the age that seems to be very old. They usually sit on the sofa watching TV all day long, or look out of the window for a long time. You try to accompany them, but they don't talk much, and they forget even the chatter they used to be.
They called him old and confused, and his life was coming to an end and he became confused. The appearance of the old people bowing their heads and not saying a word is distressing. If their eyes are stubborn, they are just like silent children.
I used to watch TV with my grandfather for a long time, occasionally saying a word or two, but there was no response. Eating became a cross-section of their lives. They stood up quietly, obeyed your arrangement, and walked over to the dining table. You look a little sad, the back of the person walking to eat is like an early farewell.
As soon as we are born, they start to age, and sometimes you forget, and they too have.
With more and more silence and time, getting older has become their only victory, or a label.
But when everything is forgotten and forgotten, only the story lasts forever.
In the film, the old father has messy white hair, is an alcoholic, and his pale nose hair sticks out from his nostrils, but this still does not hinder his willfulness.
A father and son journey triggered by an advertising letter, drove from an old car to the road, and the story of the old father began to spread on the black and white road.
Old friends and relatives on the road will start telling their son stories about his father, that he used to be an aircraft mechanic, that he used to have a good first love, that he once started drinking because he was depressed, that he simply believed in others lie.
When I came to the old house where my father lived when he was a child, the son followed his father to visit room by room. The old man didn't talk much, and the son didn't ask.
From the beginning to the end, the film is stingy with every bit of sensationalism. The director narrates the scenery along the way in black and white, and incidentally allows the son to enter the heart of the old father who does not speak much.
The white-haired old man looked out the car window, stubborn and unquestionable.
The grandmother I saw during the Chinese New Year this year seemed to be like that. She stood at the window for a long time and looked at the simple alleys blocked by tall buildings. The story of youth was hidden in the clouds and clouds of the years. After learning about my grandmother's story, I saw my grandmother staring blankly by the window, just like seeing a brisk girl with big braids waiting for her father to return by boat seventy years ago by the Yangtze River.
In the film, the old father will suddenly mention his own father's appearance, "This house was repaired by my father himself." "Really?" "Well."
The relationship between the son and the father is rough and clumsy, but the warmth is there Such a pair of shells slowly flowed out.
Since the father insisted on receiving the award, the father became the son, and when the son punched the man for the father, the son became the father.
The son lay down and looked at his father's eyes. For the first time, he was full of helplessness and love for a child.
The roles are exchanged, which makes people feel mixed feelings.
The truck that my father wanted, the compressor he wanted, was actually not very useful, but he just arbitrarily added a good episode and comment to his life.
And this willfulness, I think, is just to be pampered.
Even being pampered by his son.
This is a man's helpless right when he grows old.
When the old father finally drove the pickup truck proudly through the village, he should have been happy to relieve his hatred, but he was always a little sad.
And the fat old lady who was nagging all the time, the kiss on the head of the sleepy old father, and the phrase "fool" seemed to tolerate and pamper his willfulness all his life.
