We seem to have become accustomed to this kind of storytelling. A stranger suddenly breaks into the lives of some people. Those people are surprised and disturbed. There will usually be conflicts between them. But in the end, most of them end with a sensational reconciliation, and everyone is happy. However, the 2003 Golden Lion Award-winning Russian film "Return" presents the story of a stranger breaking into a peaceful life in a tragic form, with a melancholy plot that makes people unable to calm for a long time. In fact, the stranger in the film is not "unfamiliar." The brothers Andre and Ivan suddenly faced the return of their father who had been away for twelve years. At this time, the brothers were still children, too early and too long at the same time as their father. The separation made his father a stranger. Such a person who should have been most familiar with them intervenes in their lives as a stranger, and conflict is obviously inevitable. When the father took his two sons out to play, an undetermined journey of quest for the father’s love seemed to begin. However, in this process, I found sadly that the brothers are facing the return of their father, not the love of the father. Father is an identity that you can’t reject, but the love of the father is not. Love. Obviously, the twelve years of separation created a gap that could not be made up in a few days of play, and the supposedly deep fatherly love could not be formed in a few days. Therefore, conflicts continue to occur and intensify. The older Andre is more mature and stable. He also has more expectations of his father, so he obeys his father's words, which also shows his desire for fatherly love. But Ivan is more perverse. He has a kind of resistance to the father who suddenly appeared from the beginning, and his body also fully reflects the psychological defects of a child who has long lacked paternal love. The two children express the psychology of a child who lacks paternal love in different ways. They are at a loss for a father who suddenly appears, and they are full of expectations at the same time. Father is a complicated character. He undoubtedly has a wealth of experience in the twelve years away from home. He can mature and calmly drive to recover the wallet when his wallet is robbed. He is proficient in handling all the troubles encountered during the journey. , He can install a small boat in one day. However, he obviously does not know how to treat his children. He is always silent and severe, and treats the children with an almost cruel attitude. From his performance, I see more of a patriarchy than a father. Love. We are accustomed to the role assignment of "strict father and loving mother", but these two children who have not seen their fathers for twelve years need exactly a "loving father", a father who can sincerely make up for the responsibilities of a father who has not fulfilled his duties for twelve years . Judging from some details, the father also cares about his son and has a little love, but his indifference and rudeness always make the relationship between him and the child become increasingly tense, and even Yu reached an increasingly irreconcilable point on the island. In this process, I have been waiting for a sensational father and son to understand the painful plot of holding their heads, but the director used a tragic way to push the conflict between father and son to the climax. After a conflict, Ivan climbed up desperately. A tall lighthouse, and when my father caught up with the lighthouse, he fell from the lighthouse and ended his life.
