This is not a movie review, it's a personal opinion
A very painful movie. Look at the poster and you can feel it. The family is full of nerves, and the director has timed out some new explosions.
So most of the time in this movie what we see is arguing and roaring. There are a few things worth mentioning, the first being that injuries between families are hereditary. The mother was hurt by her mother in her childhood, and these injuries took away some beauty. That's it, the mother also took this injury to manage her own family, which eventually led to the frustration of the children. In the end, in this movie, the children of the children also been greatly affected. To use the more popular point of view now, it is the family of origin.
It's not that we don't have a chance to stop this kind of harm being passed down from generation to generation, but that person is too hard to come by. Because this requires the person to carry more pressure to reverse the damage.
Another place is wrong strength. In the movie, I feel that there are indeed many places to save each other. But the mother played by Aunt May is too strong. Strong enough not to bow down to anything. This also indirectly led to her husband's suicide. And that last big burden was not dealt with in time because of her strength. Accumulated to the end, it became a bigger trouble.
In family and marriage, not being so strong is very important. There is always someone who needs to take a step back, and someone else needs to follow. It is also difficult to always let a person regress, and everyone has a limit.
So I often say that the important thing in marriage is to have a sense of cooperation. Knowing that you are going backwards, you can also see that others are going backwards, and give your own "reciprocity". But this requirement is enough to suffocate most marriages.
The cast of this film is too strong, of course, Aunt Mei is a unique banner!
