The 84th Oscars, which I have been focusing on all morning, finally came to an end. Although the American movie "Better Life" (A Better Life) did not win anything (was nominated for the best actor), this drama about family love is still worth seeing. The whole story is told from the perspective of a Mexican father and son who illegally immigrated to the United States in pursuit of a better life. It is a true but poignant story of leaving home but finding hope in life. Every father who loves his children will do everything he can for them, just so that they can live a better life.
Life is cruel, and there are many unsatisfactory things. Carlos, who came to the United States, used all his savings to buy second-hand trucks and gardener's tools. He deals with flowers and plants all day, and it is his job to organize the garden for the rich. Every time he climbed a high tree and looked at the whole city, he was full of longing. But his 14-year-old son, Louis, was in the rebellious period of his youth. Because of his status and status, Lewis was often discriminated against in school, which made him even more resentful of his father's illegal immigration to the United States.Although the days were hard, Carlos still worked diligently, until one day, his truck and tools were stolen... The father and son were determined to find the truck. In the process of searching for the lost property, the father and son's feelings also change. It got better and better, and the son gradually understood his father. After much trouble, the two finally recovered the truck, but the story did not come to a successful conclusion. The harsh reality is that Carlos's father was taken by the police for questioning and repatriated. Son Louis continued to stay at his aunt's house in the United States to complete his studies, eliminating the estrangement with his father, and Louis became more and more clear. I hope he will become a successful person as his father wishes.
Even if the material needs of their children cannot be met, every parent's love for their children will not be exhausted. There are hardships and helplessness, but more of it is expectation and expectation. As long as the child can be provided with good conditions, he can thrive, which is the greatest gratification.
As children, they may not fully understand their parents when they are young. When they reach a certain age or have their children, they will understand their parents. Every parent who loves their children misses them the most.
I believe that family love is a positive force that supports many people to move forward, whether it is a child who hopes to be filial to their parents or a parent who hopes to have a good future for their children... What do you?
What we watch in the movie is not only the stories of others; maybe it's also our own story.View more about A Better Life reviews
