Starting from the most touching scene at the end of the film , The father and the child bid farewell to each other and said the brightest line: "Proud to be your dad", which is in sharp contrast with the previous one and a half hours of the film (strictly speaking, one hour and 27 minutes), the film In the early stage, the child’s very extreme and very difficult to be enlightened was vividly reflected. The contradiction between him and his father also broke out from the beginning of silence and finally broke out. What I want to emphasize here is that the film uses a lot of details to pave the way for the complex feelings between father and son. Reflect, every detail is worth thinking about.
The father always cared about his son from beginning to end: 1 When his son was locked up, his father sneaked into his cell, carried a large bag of food in his hand, and then gave the child the most true warning: " The trouble will be hanged by them." Before leaving, he asked his son to "Eat your food". 2 When the son first entered the speaking group, his father kept eavesdropping at the door. He couldn't help it. After he went in to "educate" the child, he let Sai Fei stay there before he left. 3 One hour and 27 minutes, from the time when he began to scold "the damn civil servant", the father began to worry about his son's survival, and he became more and more worried. In the end, he murdered for his son.
In addition, have you noticed that there is always a painting hanging in my father’s cell with the words "I love you daddy" written on it. The handwriting should have been drawn by a child. I think it was painted by his son back then, and the father kept putting it in Around.
The father is just not good at educating his children: after all, he is a criminal and he is not good at educating children. Did everyone notice when watching the movie that after the son was locked up, the father sneaked into his cell to warn him and spoke. Speaking calmly is slow, and when the father wants to educate his children on what to do, the speed of speaking suddenly increases, with dirty words. Including the fact that I participated in the talk group later, but it was difficult to adapt, and even later couldn't stand the child's picky and fights, it all reflected the serious problems of father's education. In fact, you can give him the title of bad dad, but this is one of the very humane and authentic performances of the film. Although the father is terrible, but in the final analysis, he loves his son. I think this is the biggest highlight of the film. one. At the end of the film, when the father saves the child, this kind of emotion erupts, and the father's strength is vividly manifested.
What the child lacks most is the love of the father: the burning of the toothbrush at the beginning of the movie, how to resist the warning after the "accidental murder" (the guy did not die), fully explained the bad boy's "social experience is very sophisticated", but the protagonist is a child after all To put it bluntly, he lacks education, and he is still very unwilling to receive education. I personally think that he is actually a kind of resistance to his father, because his father did not teach me well, and he gave me a very bad family environment when I was young. Later, I became a criminal, and I am today because of you, so I have to become worse, and worse than you, to make you regret it. I guess the original intention of the son's various crimes was the above mentality, to avenge his father by his own deterioration.
And here, I have to emphasize the excellence of the film again. This is why I feel that the child lacks the love of the father. If I can express my views more accurately, I want to express my views by expecting the love of the father. Have you ever thought that when his father let him enter the conversation group, he did not intend to enter at all, combined with the various performances of the actor's refusal to join, and the fact that he smoked cigarettes as soon as he entered, this shows that he is extremely unwilling, and finally The direct reason for entering is actually that Oliver said that I fucking wanted to beat you (currently, Oliver asked the panelists to take care of him, part of the reason, here is the direct reason), it seems that his joining is even more absurd. And have you ever wondered why the protagonist behaves like this? As mentioned in the previous paragraph, he is actually rebelling against his father. Putting aside Oliver's strong patience and sincerity, the protagonist finally influenced him not to talk. The conversation between the protagonist and his father at 55 minutes of the film gave another answer: "You just order me and then let me do things, you don't care how I feel." Everyone pays attention. This conversation happened after he joined the conversation group, and he took the initiative to find the father. It can be seen that the son’s words are the most sensible and true. What the son cares most is to let the father care about his own feelings and how to understand this. What about the sentence? Think about it everybody, when boyfriend and girlfriend quarrel, the most common thing a girl would say is "You don't care about how I feel." At this moment, everyone understands, just like girls, they don't want you to express indirectly. How do you love me, but care about me and love me in a direct way. This is what the male protagonist lacks the most, so like some women, especially girls who are not good at expressing, they use various toss and this kind of nonsense to attract the attention of the other party. In their opinion, this may be the only way to be in the protagonist. It seems that this may be the only way for my father to see himself and feel that he exists. In addition, in the conversation group and some conversations with the father, the son directly and indirectly reflected that the father did not care about him. Of course, this is what the protagonist thinks. As mentioned above, in fact, the father loves his son, just a way of expression. There is a problem. This is the point of contradiction. As in the example of the relationship between men and women, the results are often tragedies and breakups. The performance in the film is a fight between father and son.
Finally, returning to the beginning of the article, why did the father say "Proud to be your dad" in the end? I think it is because of the change of the son. There may be encouragement to the child, but the child himself passed the prison After some tempering, he "returned to justice" under his nose, and the prodigal son turned his head back and didn't change his gold. It's no wonder that his father made such a big sacrifice for him in the end. Here, my father’s roommate (actually a base friend) really understands his lover. The child made friends through the conversation group (the father thinks so, of course I am too). When the father returned to the cell, his roommate said something. Words: "You are jealous, he is not helping you, he is establishing a relationship with some old guys, and now you want to destroy it, because you are fucking jealous, brother." The roommate's words are also directly given here. The answer to "Proud to be your dad".
It’s the first time to write a film review. In this year’s sci-fi movies, I was able to watch such an excellent work. I really couldn’t help writing a film review. Please forgive me for the bad writing. At the end of the film, the father yelled his son. The voice became hoarse and the film reached its climax. The previous layers of narration made the perfect preparation for the film's final "explosive paternal love", an excellent work full of humanity. There are many things that film critics can think about, such as the environment in which children grow up, the search for life mentors, the importance of patience, the meaning of helping others, the dangers of society, etc. Everyone is welcome to appreciate this work.
