Born for the first time

What the whole film wants to express may be kindness that can guide correct values. At the beginning of the film, the father was beaten and could not fight back. The child was angry and wanted to take revenge on the beater. The father also specially took the child to follow the beater. Theoretically, I didn't fight back because it was time to repay the grievances, not because I had no bottom line, but at that moment, the mentality of the beating person was completely different from that of the father, and he slapped a few times in a row. In the child's eyes, it was the father's. Cowardly, and those who watched the movie at the moment also felt that Dad was too naive, and people with different ideas couldn't talk about it at all. What should really be done is to tell the child what he really thinks, this will only arouse the child's revenge

In addition, there are still many points worth thinking about in this film, which reminds me of a line in Please Answer 1988: Dad is also a dad for the first time. There are comments in the barrage that the two fathers will not guide them, but how many parents can guide their children correctly in real life, not all of them are discovered step by step, few parents understand their children's psychology, and few One parent is a psychologist. In addition, Chinese parents may restrict their children from being with such psychopathic children, but the parents in the film eventually take their children to the hospital to visit and take the initiative to make space to be alone.

    Can "Confessions" compare with this movie? . . . I don’t know why the Japanese took so dark pictures.

    A very typical Nordic drama, very humane, very serious, discussing the relationship between people, hatred and tolerance, etc., once reminded me of "Confession". Generally speaking, there is nothing new. The first half of the game is well laid out, and the latter is not enough. It is quite satisfactory. It is worth seeing but not worthy of high expectations. It seems that this year's Oscar foreign language entries are relatively weak.
