feel the
"Savage Family " in The Savages , I feel the crisis of middle age, the pressure of life, and the death of the elders.
The movie does not have the "conflict" in the usual plot. Quite calmly said that the father was sick, the younger generation appeared, and the younger generation had life frictions because of taking care of the father's generation. It's faint, but it can't erase a little bit of sorrow.
It is hard to imagine that a few such plain and ordinary life events happened in the savage family. Their father had Parkinson's disease. They still failed to have the courage to get married at the age of 40, and their jobs were bottlenecked and they couldn't move forward. In fact, these are shown every day in life. They are just as ordinary as fine sand on the beach. It can even be said that if the above events are told to others, they are just unpleasant topics.
The heroine is a drama writer who writes not classics but has dreams. The actor is a drama researcher. He once had the dream of writing classic dramas, but he couldn't realize it and turned to research. Their father needed to be admitted to a nursing home because of illness. They had their own ideas, but in the end they had no choice but to implement them.
I think that taking family members as a due responsibility is to love family members.
Other practical reasons can only make us move forward helplessly. As if in the end they could only let their father end their lives, it could only be a helpless choice. Under this choice, a kind of change is created, which can be said to occur in a day. But one year later, they each have a better life of their own, which has changed a year later.
Movies are gratifying after all, comedy is inevitable in Hollywood movies.
And life, after all, is bitter, tragedy is inevitable in this movie of life.
