Thank you parents for your kindness

"Bitch" means a headlamp; "salt shaker" means telephone; "zombie" means a little yellow flower.

After watching this film, I am very fortunate that I grew up in a healthy family, although my parents are also very nagging, at least they didn't lock me at home, so that I can't see the sky outside.

Airplanes in the sky will fall, as small as the palm of your hand;
watching video tapes is a rare activity;
there are no digital products, not even books, and the fluorescent stone on hairpins is a rare item
; To answer questions;
there is only one reward at ordinary times, which is for everyone to fight for and snatch, and even a post-it note makes children happy;
cats are ferocious animals that eat the flesh of children; When
a mother gives birth to a child, it is said that she is born, and she can decide whether to have a boy or a girl, and how many she will have; a
mother will give birth to a dog;
when outsiders are no longer trusted, in order to meet the son's sexual needs, big Daughter can also go on;
the child can not leave the house until the canine teeth fall out;
can learn to drive until the canine teeth grow back;
………… After

reading this, I really feel very sad. I don't know why the parents do this. It seems as if the father is trying to protect his children, telling them that the outside world is evil and bad, and it is safest to stay at home, but in fact, what have the children learned over the years? I have learned some words that are fundamentally unsatisfactory, as well as the family's abnormal love, and even incest. Seeing my mother combing her daughter's hair and sending her into her son's room made me really messy. . .

The male owner has isolated everything from the outside world. When buying mineral water, he has to tear off the labels on it one by one. Isn't this a pervert? Let the wife and children kneel on the ground and learn to bark. Isn't this a pervert?

The eldest daughter knew that the canine teeth would not fall off by herself after watching the videotape brought by outsiders, so one night, she knocked off the canine teeth with a small dumbbell and hid in the trunk of her father's car. The male host who failed to find his daughter finally gave up, thinking that his daughter had escaped. He did not expect that the next day, he would drive his daughter out of the place where she had been born and raised for so many years.

What will happen to the eldest daughter?

    Movies from an ecological perspective are not enough to constitute a metaphor for society as a whole—the setting of the movie itself limits the generalizability of this ecology. On the contrary, it shows a way of getting along with family members, but the correspondence between father and patriarchy is too deeply rooted in people's hearts, and it is impossible not to think of it. In terms of perception, "castration" (showing part of the body) and "suppression" (wide-angle seems to be used a lot) are always indicated, which I don't like very much.

    Lanthimos constructs a field that is far from reality and self-justifying, like the film's opening: it has its own grammar, and it is horribly clean and white. From a psychological or sociological point of view, it shows the 'control' demands of the middle class (and by extension everyone) and the politics of the family as a 'desire machine'. And the use of discourse-power in linguistics as a metaphor to support this Ibsen or Platonic allegory is also indispensable
