Love is a poison and an antidote.

I just finished it, I don't know how to start, maybe I need to adjust my mood and think about how to describe it.
Because I can't tell which emotions are my own and which are infected by the movie.
Let's start with the movie.
David had a father who loved him deeply, I have no doubts about that.
But it was precisely because of his father that brought the tragedy of his life.
Let me talk about David's father in my eyes.
He is a very strong man, strong character, strong body, and strong emotions. Then, gone. I think it is precisely this kind of strength that highlights the emptiness in his heart and the inferiority complex hidden in his character, which is a glass heart in a popular saying now. The tragedies encountered in childhood, throughout his life, could not be relieved or released, and then he wanted to inherit and complete it for him through his own descendant, David. Coupled with his own inferiority complex, so he wants to win too much to prove himself, I'm not wrong, I'm just not lucky enough. The pressure of survival was about to shatter his glass heart. Why didn't they consider another issue, even if they won, so what? (Lin Zhixuan sang a lyric: If you lose, what if you win the world.)
In the end, he lost David, and the two went their separate ways, thanks to David's sudden bravery. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. If he didn't have the sudden courage, maybe he could live in his father's world and live a seemingly normal life under his father's protection.
Plant a seed, and one day it will sprout.
He has a weak personality and can't take care of himself. Fortunately, he still has music.
It was his father's love that led him down this path and made his life so bad.
At the same time, it was his love for music that kept him going.

I don’t know how many people will feel deja vu after watching it. When we were young, we always heard the teachings of our parents. We did this for your own good, not for you, and how good your life is now. We were BLA BLA at that time. Then it will let you continue to study hard, or be obedient. If you talk back, even if you say the last sentence, I am so busy and busy, not for this family, do you think it is easy for me? And then we were helpless.
And so on.

It is worth reminding us that love is not wrong, it is just expressed in the wrong way.
David's dad gave David what he thought was the best thing, and that was music. But mixed with other things, the things given also began to deteriorate.
I think one of the things the movie is trying to say is that. Don't use your children as a tool or a way to fulfill your wishes. While giving others what you think is good, don't force others.

Another detail in the movie is David's fascination with women's breasts. I think it's the director's way of expressing David's compensatory longing for his lack of forgiving motherly love.

So sleepy, let me end with one sentence.
Love is freedom.

    An idiot genius brought up by a "tiger mother" family, his control freak father, in the name of love, gave him a cruel and ruthless education, making him slurred, breathless, withdrawn and introverted, eccentric, and gave him strength Only his talent and passion for music. Fortunately, he met the love of his life later, accompanied him to encourage him, never betrayed him, so that his crippled spirit slowly stood up, and finally he finally conquered the demonic obstacles his father set for him.

    Every time that blooming Saturn comes along, it gives us a bit of a jolt.
