I finished watching this film with a dull mood. Regarding the "return", I understood it as the return of the father's character. In the twelve years of Andrei and Ivan's life, they finally had a "father". Unfamiliar and curious, my father was angry at his patriarchal behavior and admired his problem-solving style and ability. In fact, the story is very simple. It is a small family story. A father who has been away from home for many years suddenly returns to his family to get along with his children. The father-son relationship is the biggest focus of the film. The emotional changes between the father and Andre and Ivan are The most concerned issue of our audience is that the father does not know how to get along with his children. He can only use his own way to order his children to obey him. Andrei and Ivan have lacked the company of their father since they were young, and they are the closest to others. Their father was the stranger to them. My father didn't know how to express his father's love until the last moment, when he accidentally fell to his death in order to catch up with Ivan. In this film, as a father's love for his children, although he is domineering and powerful, and he strictly educates children, there is still love for children in his heart, but this unreasonable way creates an incomprehensible tragic ending. . At the moment when his father fell and sank into the sea, Ivan, who had been shouting "Dad", released all his emotions at once, but he could no longer call back his father, telling the tragedy of growing up bloody. I believe that at this moment Andre and Ivan also have a little understanding of this strange father.
