It turned out that it was never my father who should change, but myself

Not long before watching this movie, my father and I had a heated argument. Like Robert, even being under the same roof with my father made me feel reserved. Although I know my father loves me and our family, I still can't understand the way he deals with certain issues, and I want to find out why.
Until Rosie said to her father, "Mom is always listening, and you're always speaking."
I think I found the crux of the problem, and I'm a father, so what's the matter with my children? It looks like I'm always teaching her what to do based on my experience, rather than giving her a more relaxed environment. And expressing opinions is precisely the most affectionate love that fathers can give their children. isn't it?
Just as the children try to create a beautiful fiction for their father to hide the truth, I often use words such as "good, very good, nothing" to perfunctory my father. I never thought that he might actually know the truth of the matter. , what kind of damage this is to him. Maybe the source of all lies is the father's expectations for better children, but if we can't do it, shouldn't we say it out loud? Is it really good to make up lies?
I used to think that it was my father who should change. They shouldn't put so much pressure on us, so much expectation, and make us take so much pride.
Now I think we should be more real, maybe my father really doesn't care that we get divorced, that we don't have a decent job, or even that we're gay, he just cares that we're family, we're sitting around a table and eating happily For dinner, talk about the silly things we did when we were young.
When I saw the wires on David's canvas, my tears finally fell. Only then did I realize that my heart was also deeply in love with my father, and I can't forget the toy gun and storybook he brought me back from get off work. . . . . .
When I saw half of the movie, I thought I should let my dad watch it and let him learn how a high-pressure father is treated by his children in the end. When I saw the end, I suddenly realized that I should watch it carefully. This movie is not about my father, but about myself. It was never my father who should change, but myself.
