In fact, when watching foreign movies, I always like to read her original English text. But this one, well, I will tell you "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" very bluntly. There's a lot to talk about in this movie, but for me it's probably more about reconciliation. Although there is a huge cultural gap between China and the West, in the relationship between father and son, they all have the same experience of fighting. This has been well verified in the popularity of "Father and Son" in China. Under the influence of traditional Confucian culture, the father-son relationship is like a step, awkward but important. So we can easily find emotional resonance, inner comfort. At the beginning, I also thought that the reconciliation of this movie was inexplicable. If you get sick, do an interview and clear up the past? I didn't believe it, but after reading it again and going home for dinner, I understood a little bit. My father and I would also quarrel, and would be too lazy to communicate. But in the end there will be reconciliation, either way. Yes, because in this long life, we have been reconciling in our own way, with the past, with our father, and with ourselves. Just like the male protagonist in the movie, the interview is just an opportunity. In his self-independent life, he is always seeking a kind of reconciliation and inner peace. Although the last few steps were pushed up by others, the first 99 steps must have been taken by himself. Maybe life is more when it's not like in the movie, there will be someone willing to help you through the last short paragraph. But in fact life is also helping us, to reconcile, to understand. Like that meal, usual, unpretentious. But this is really real life, showing up in life.
