"If the children of the world line up, I can only choose one, I definitely choose you every time." This is a line in the movie, and it is also one of the core content of the movie. The praise of maternal love in this theme is It's inevitable, but because Barbra Streisand joins, it adds a special sense of joy to the role of mother. The good mother who is nagging all the way keeps thinking about her son, but she keeps self-defeating and makes her son. Embarrassed in front of his first love, messed up his son's promotion, and even killed his son. However, no one will blame her. After all, her purpose is to do good for her son, especially to regain his confidence. She has to eat several pounds of beef, which is indisputably admirable.
What is even more rare is that if you shed tears during the whole process, then you must have laughed to tears. The movie did not deliberately aggravate incitement, and used plain narratives to nourish the soul. The way down the road described in this movie is basically like watching chicken soup for the soul, soothing and quiet, and completely different from the compact and intense commonly used in Hollywood blockbusters.
It's like appreciating a beautiful essay. At the beginning, you may still look for the theme, but you will soon be intoxicated by the beautiful space created by the article. When you read the full text and cover up your long thoughts, you will suddenly find that there is something between the lines. All of them are deep and affectionate. Just like this movie, it contains the pure love of mother to son and son to mother.
In people's consciousness, the love of parents for their children must be greater than the love of their children for their parents. Parents love their children unconditionally, and no matter how great children love their parents, it is difficult to compare with their parents' love. Although there are twenty-four filial piety in China, doesn't this just prove that the love of parents is what it should be. Is the love of children learned from the day after tomorrow? Therefore, it is difficult to show excellent movies showing children's love for their parents in movies, on the contrary, there are a lot of things that show that children and their parents are opposed to each other. This movie also puts the contradiction between mother and child at the beginning, and the two of them continue to produce small frictions on the road, because the mother does everything out of good intentions, and instinctively blames the son, but the success of the son is established to obey the mother. On the basis of this, after the entangled journey is over, the two get back together. It is well known that Hollywood is the best at correcting abnormal relationships. Movies that praise the love of mother and child generally attribute resistance to the outside world. This film, on the contrary, attributes the contradictory story of the two to themselves, and more specifically, it does not strengthen. The love of either side, the love of the son is as good as the love of the mother. The equalized narrative angle and the dull audio-visual language expression of the film go hand in hand, coupled with the rare non-exaggerated performance of Seth Rogen, it is really a good family movie.
Maybe you can complain about the slow pace of the movie and the unsuitable attitude toward entertainment. However, the biggest feature of this movie is that it makes people feel the deep affection.
It is indeed not a wonderful film made with clever techniques, but a lyrical narrative poem praising the love of mother and child.
