The role of "father" in Russian films is more or less related to politics. For Russians, the Soviet Union is very much like their "father". Russians always have a feeling that the Soviet Union's former glory has changed over time. A "father" was actually a tyrant for a long time. 40 years after Laota's "Ivan's Childhood" won the Golden Lion Award, his spiritual believer Sarkinsev handed over the best Russian film "Return" in the past 20 years. It is very interesting One point is that the names of the two sons in this movie, Ivan and Andre, and the main characters in "Ivan's Childhood" and "Nostalgia" by Laota are the same. With simple and clear plots and exquisite scene scheduling, Sarkinsev announced the re-emergence of Russian cinema. I was fascinated by the film's icy vibe, hesitant blue backdrop and allegorical structure. A father who has been missing for 12 years suddenly returns home and begins to direct the lives of his two sons like an instructor. He took his two sons on a trip to a deserted island, and encountered countless difficulties along the way. The tough father demanded that the two sons obey him, which caused the dissatisfaction of the younger son Ivan. He faced his father with cold eyes again and again. The father and his sons built a boat and insisted on taking them to a deserted island. When the boat was halfway through, the motor failed, and they had to bite the bullet in the torrential rain. The relationship between father and son is like this small boat in the storm: no one understands, no one helps, the misunderstanding between father and son deepens and they have to move forward. At the end of the film, Ivan steals his father's dagger and confronts him with the dagger when he is scolded by his father for being late for fishing. An angry Ivan climbed up the towering tower and threatened his father with jumping off the tower. In desperation, his father climbed up the tower from the side, but unexpectedly fell to his death. Andre and Ivan put their father's body on the boat, and the two The man drove his father's car to the direction of home, and his father's body was left on the lonely boat forever.
