Home-the world's largest base of lies

The most frank meeting in the world is the family, concealing and deceiving each other in the name of love.

In the process of watching the movie, I have been thinking, in this society where the voice of "the original family is a disaster" is getting louder, what is the meaning of my family to myself?

"Parents still have a place in life, and parents only have the way back in life."

This is why Holland looks for biological parents

He has never called her birth mother, and expressed slight resistance to this title, but she needs this affection again, even if it is only a thin blood connection. Because she had just lost her mother, her connection to the world suddenly broke, and she was the only one left. Holland desperately needed a connection to not be isolated and helpless, and to feel her own existence even more, no matter how bad this mother was.

From the beginning of puberty, He's biological mother fell into a state of constant decline in her life. She is a terrible mother who doesn't know how to educate, how to love, and has no knowledge. When facing the dark past, she chooses to hide it. This is the only way she thinks can protect her family, and this has also caused harm to her family. At first, I thought that the neurotic giant baby mother came into contact with He because she saw her abandoned daughter lead a decent life and wanted to cling to her. The more I saw behind, the more I felt that she was really pitiful.

Husband and wife are unrelated family members

Because the Morriss were unable to have children, their marriage was almost torn apart. Both of them suspected that the other didn't love themselves anymore. Without children, they felt that there was no real medium connecting the two of them. But love trumps everything. Family is not only defined by blood or fertility. The answer is also given at the end of the film.

In the end, of course it is beautiful, even dreamy

My family is my own, I can't give a good or ugly answer. Sometimes we don't even understand ourselves, but we can't let go of our hatred; but Ming Ai wants to stab each other with the sharpest dagger. There are so many things mixed in love, vanity, jealousy, anger, control... just want to escape

Love, love, oops
