Work hard on the script

This film is gentle from the beginning to the end, without excessive emotions, it seems that even if it is a climax, my heart is a moist land.

At the beginning, I used montages and kept switching the green lanes. I knew that before the screen switched to the house, my mother was nervously starting the car, and my son was hurriedly helping to shift the gear. Kate frowned, her expression nervous and superfluous, she could see the unpleasantness of this life.

From the beginning of the film, it was the voice of the son, that is, the whole story was told from the perspective of the son. The father leaves his mother and forms another family. The son chooses to stay with his mother, occasionally being a "one-day husband" and occasionally "dating" with his mother, doing all the things he has to go out for his mother.

Until such a day, he finally took his mother to the supermarket to shop, and met the gangster who had escaped from prison. The culprit forced her to let her mother take him a ride, and escaped the police. The son was unprepared and brought it to his mother. The mother refused until the son revealed that "I only see my father on weekends." The gangster gently held the son's neck as a threat. The mother could not refuse, so she took him back. "Fatherless" home.

Kate returned home, shivering, grabbing a knife and sending it to his trouser pocket. For fear of revealing it, he asked the culprit if he would drink coffee. Probably here, the gangster put down his defenses and felt that this woman had a very beautiful heart. So he confessed that he would leave until dark. In order to help the mother avoid the crime of harboring criminals, the mother was tied up. Except for pouring coffee, this is the first touch. The voiceover began to play the son's voice, saying that besides passion for his sex education, his mother had a desire for touch. This is what the mother told her son, and it also vents the inner depression that she has not touched. And the appearance of the son's voiceover at this time also means that the son sees all these changes in his eyes.
The culprit began to tie her mother's hands together, and then her feet. Every inch of his touch caused her to back down every inch. It shows that the mother has a psychological feeling at this time.

Then the culprits started cooking. I don't remember very much, probably at this time they already knew that this was a murderer with a major crime. The culprits did not give too much explanation, just told the children that there are always stories that are not reported by them. The culprit started cooking, cooking, cutting onions, and pouring coffee. There was also a process of getting his son to help open the can. At this time, the first interaction between the son and the "father" began.

After the meal was made, the son ate in the living room, but the culprit sat down with his mother. He took a spoonful and prepared to eat. Instead of putting it in his mouth, he handed it to the mother's mouth. After taking a look, the mother did not refuse. Instead, the tablespoon and the tablespoon began to eat. This is the release of desire.

Then the culprit started doing housework, repairing cars, painting walls, cooking, and doing all the things that the "father" role lacks. At this moment. The position of the son was replaced. Because the mother no longer needs a "one-day husband", and the gangster is more emotionally suited to the mother's needs than his son.

At this time, the son had already begun to question the appearance of this gangster. Then the second line came into being, the little smoke that his son met in the supermarket. This little smoke completely lustfully transformed the world of grown-ups from her personal desperation, using a hateful but accepting vision. Look at this relationship. The son lost the position from his mother and wanted to find solace from this girl. So there is a key plot behind.

Don't say so detailed, there is no time. I especially like the picture of making pie. The sweet and greasy peaches are flipped up and down in the hands of three people. The mood of the movie has reached the mildest and sweetest place. The yellow and orange look after baking looks delicious. . This meticulous description of food is also a manifestation of the growing emotional relationship between the mother and the culprit. Although the "rhythm" appeared again in the middle of the night, compared with the memory flashback of the gangster, there was no sensuality.

Later, my mother decided to go desperately with this gangster, and my son went to meet Xiao Yanxun. Xiao Yanxun gave him a youthful release point, and then said, "Then you go, I'm going to make out with others." At this time, what the son wanted to be missing from his mother was also missing from the girl. That's why it's in my mind. Finally stopped the gangster's plan to take his mother with him.

When he returned to his father's house, the director didn't explain too much because his mother didn't want to harass him to make a complaint. He still complained that he broke the whole plan or didn't want to hurt him. But thinking back to the child's reaction when the mother proposed the plan to leave for the first time, and what the mother said to him: I will definitely not leave you. The later change was to voluntarily surrender the guardianship. I think the first and third possibilities can be ruled out.

That's why the scene of his son returning home after graduating from high school. The son went home because of what the father said to him. Those remarks meant that he wanted to lead a normal life. And your mother is not wrong, she just fell in love with love. Later, the son went home to live with his mother. This shows that when the mother fell in love with this gangster, it was not that she had no grudges in her heart. However, his father's relief, to a certain extent, also gave him a better understanding of his mother, which is also reflected in his taste in choosing a girlfriend. Later, when he returned home, he made a peach pie for your mother, who covered her face. At this time, probably both mother and son understood in their hearts and made a silent reconciliation of what happened back then.

While this son was growing up, he was originally worried about the lack of his own father, and later he was worried about the "father" who suddenly appeared. It wasn't until he himself could repair cars, make pies, fix things, and play baseball that he felt a trace of rejoicing and repentance that this man had appeared in his life. The tears when he saw him being captured before were probably just A kind of guilt. Then he started the pie business again, which is also an affirmation of the man's former status.

"I always want her to go for a walk by herself." In this case, people who don't have such a broken family probably don't know what kind of experience it is. This sentence made me feel very uncomfortable. It was a growth compromise. He deeply understood that "a husband for a day" could not comfort his mother's lack of heart, so he could no longer accompany her. But I feel very sad and worried about my mother being a prisoner of that house for a long time.

The gangster actually knew the inner changes of his son, so before he was released from prison, he first went to get his son's approval. After the son agreed, he returned to his mother. He respects and understands the boy very much.

Later, a happy ending seemed a bit redundant for me. Many people question the unreasonable use of the son's perspective in this movie, but a large part of the plot of this movie is driven by the son. He brought the man into the mother's life and then pushed the man out. Then he grew up and brought the man back to his mother's life.
