very cinematic movie

When family members describe something as absurd and dramatic, they say "it's a movie". This technique is very clever, the movie becomes an adjective, the movie is fake but the very movie thing is real.
This movie that I found very cinematic was called The Greatest Father. I glanced at the cast and found Robin Williams, the little old man from comedy who first appeared in my eyes was a slightly tragic character, The admirable spiritual leader of the Dead Poets Society, and the vicissitudes and loneliness of the back of the soul catcher makes me feel lonely. If it wasn't for his extremely talented cameo in Friends, I would not believe that he had acted in a comedy. Closer to home, the protagonist's father is of course him. The depressing and self-deprecating tone of the movie in the early part of the movie is similar to that of American Beauty. In short, there is a failed and kind-hearted old father and a useless bastard son. I thought it would play a tear-jerking family card like the guardian of my sister, such as a father educating and transforming his son in his boundless and selfless teaching and love. But halfway through the movie, my son died. The way of the journey is over, I wonder how he can be a great father, and at this time the movie seems to have just entered the theme, Williams began to officially take the stage, he glorified the cause of his son's death, but did not want to reluctantly write His fake suicide note moved everyone around him and brought earth-shaking changes to his life. His son became a spiritual idol for teenagers and even all the people, and he even enjoyed all the glory and benefits. I'm so confused, I don't know what it's doing with such a ridiculous story, the father did nothing wrong, he just did it for his son's decency and helping others, but the status quo still makes people feel awkward, of course, in the end, the father told the truth, but the change Slightly abrupt. The film begins with my father's monologue: What I fear most is being alone when I die. And at the end, the father is carefree and munching on popcorn and watching soap operas with the so-called failure freaks. I was lost for a while.
After thinking about it, he comforted himself and said that perhaps a great father has nothing to do with the role of a father at all. It only talks about people's fear, panic and attitude towards life. Sons are just an indispensable prop. Father said: "I know my son is a jerk, but I love him. In fact, the father is more dependent on the son, the son can let him get rid of loneliness and get rid of the fear of the future. Americans are not very good at or disdain to talk about family, so when I watch my sister's guardian it feels more like a Chinese movie, going to school with my father behind my back. Great fathers are the American way of thinking: thinking about the individual's life, about the individual and the people around them, about this strange society. At the end, the old father jumped into the swimming pool naked and carefree, as if he was reborn, but I know that this is just a glorified ending. The conflicts between himself and the surrounding will always accompany him. Of course, it is fortunate that he is not alone. , he found a bosom friend who was also denied by his surroundings.
