who consumes excess sexual desire with a married man A woman who is
full of ideals and passions but has a depressed life and asks for help from all kinds of funding.
He sheds tears every time he eats an omelet made by his girlfriend, but has no determination. Marrying her as his wife,
his home is as unbearable as it has been air raid, but when the books are arranged, he is rigorous and delicate.
He often takes antidepressants and often hangs his neck to relieve all kinds of troubles and pressures.
They have a common father. A father who has not given them a good childhood and love.
Their father's experience led to their indifference and alienation, and his father's Parkinson's disease brought them together.
So the Savage family began a period of rebuilding the family relationship without losing embarrassment and moving.
When I saw the title, I thought of "Little Beauty in the Sunshine", "The Love of Inflatable Doll", "Dan's Real Life" and other films. The same life feature film is still a bit of a highway. The truthfulness cannot be added, and the touch brought by the details will always be unforgettable.
The Savage family cannot be called a classic, nor can it be a five-star. Without the comedy and sunshine of "Little Sunshine", it is not as healthy and warm as "Inflatable Doll Love". There is also no classic plot and perfect interpretation of "Juneo", even a bit dull and cumbersome. But this is life, the real life, the crisis of middle-aged life, the pressure and embarrassment of life, the gulf between family affection and responsibility in this family of three people vividly and profoundly.
I really like the character of Wendy, warm, kind and real. The influence brought to Wendy by her father at an early age was huge. She never forgot the scenes of her father beating herself and her brother when she was a child. She rewritten these into scripts. But when she heard her father’s sick message, she was hysterical and frantic. I Thinking, she might still love her old father. Those childhood experiences even have a dramatic beauty in her eyes, even if they are mixed love and hate.
When Wendy was packing for her father, she found a picture of herself and her brother when she was a child. She called ecstatically to tell her brother: "Do you know? Father didn't forget us, he still kept our pictures!" Wendy has always been because of his brother. She felt guilty and guilty about sending her father to a cheap nursing home, but she could do nothing. She could only buy big red pillows and beautiful lights for her father, and tried her best to improve the accommodation conditions so that her father could live comfortably. After hearing that people would curl their toes downwards before death, she quietly lifted the quilt of her sleeping father when no one was paying attention, and saw that his toes were still normal upwards, and she was relieved with relief.
The quarrel with brother Jon seemed to sublimate the theme of the film. They finally accepted and faced the problems they should face. Even if their father never cared about them, they still have the responsibility to support this somewhat crazy old Parkinson, even if They cherish the hurt their father brought to them during his childhood, and they still talk about the affection between them and the attachment to their father. Even if he was sent to a sanatorium, no matter how good or superior the conditions were, he still couldn't escape the cruel death. Just like in life, there are always some inevitable contradictions and embarrassments. Just like the father who fell off his pants, the brother who shed tears in front of the fried egg, the sister who was rejected for funding applications, the family who slipped out of the senior nursing home, and treated their daughter as a medical staff embarrassment. A little sad and a little helpless. .
Some fragmentary pictures are still unforgettable. There is a beautiful city with a large cactus and sparsely populated. When making love with her boyfriend, he watched Wendy with a lonely face at the pet dog beside him, and heard his brother and sister arguing, turning off his hearing aid and putting on a hat. Brother Jon, who was crying while eating fried eggs, and the beautiful lighting that had been on all night.
In the end, the siblings watched the old father who was lying still on the bed and stopped breathing. The anxious expression and tearful eyes were really moved. After this period of time, the lives of the two have also changed a lot. The younger sister Wendy ended the unbearable relationship and started acting in her own drama. The older brother's research work has also progressed. With the familiar ending song, this unfinished ordinary story ends.
The film does not directly focus on the description of family affection, love, and responsibility. Nothing teaches us how to do it like a model. It's just a manifestation of nature and truth, with a trace of human warmth in the indifference and estrangement, whether it is contradictory or trial irony. They are all worth experiencing, because human emotions are so complicated and subtle. Only bit by bit in-depth, will you understand it after you have penetrated it. This is our awkward life.
