"Baby Bao" is based on the environment in which a family grows up, and uses abstract characters to exaggerate a kind of contradictory family relationship that almost all families will experience in the growth of children. In the film, the position and character played by the father and mother in the family are shown. The characters of the father and mother in the film are specific enough, and I found resonance in the film. Bao Baobao's image is the image of a child. When he was a child, he was inseparable with his mother until he grew up and became rebellious, which is in line with the actions of all young children. The film did not use bloody footage from the beginning to show the difficulty of mother's production, but only used the process of making steamed buns to show that it was the mother who created the baby. It skips this bundled family relationship, which is also a kind of spiritual opening for the audience. The image of the father in the film is very good. This is the image of almost all fathers at home. They are busy with work and do not spend much time at home. At the beginning of the film, my mother packed the buns and brought them to the table. My father just ate two buns quickly and picked up the briefcase and went out the door. My mother sighed. Except for the two scenes at the end of the film, there are only a handful of scenes where Dad appears in the entire film, and at the last reunion, Dad is still watching TV. It is precisely because of this unequal marriage relationship between parents that the mother is bored and lonely at home alone. After having a baby, she devotes all her energy to the child, resulting in too much love for the child. Too harsh and strict. Extremes meet, and such love often achieves unsatisfactory results. And the image of the mother is what we call the image of most Chinese housewives. After having Bao Bao, the mother panicked as soon as he fell. After Bao Bao grew up, he had something he wanted to do. He wanted to play football instead of playing Tai Chi with his mother, but his mother blocked him because he was afraid of getting hurt. This is the point of contradiction between children and parents in the process of growing up. The love that mother thinks is not true love. True love is respect and understanding. And the mother does not understand the child's heart. On the bus, Bao Baobao took out bread and tried to comfort him after being angry. The mother has no idea what the child really wants. In the end, when Bao Bao was about to move out to live with his girlfriend, the mother broke out completely. She grabbed Bao Bao and swallowed it, which implied that she completely left her son by her side, or completely killed him. freedom of. Later, the son came home to be reunited with the family, which was what the mother expected, and it may also be what she imagined. The son is not necessarily sensible, but everyone likes this happy ending. I don't like this forced relationship, people are born free and shouldn't give up anything for what. And most families in China are like this, a little deformed love destroys human nature.
