What supports our spirit?

This film is an old one. After watching it, I had a long, chaotic and memoryless dream all night. When I got up this morning and was on the way to work, I was thinking, excluding the plot, the impression that Uncle Mai left me deeply was his youthfulness in his image. So what caused his youthful temperament? A person in the barrage was saying that Uncle Mai's face seems to be unclean forever, and I might not be clean because of it. So is it because he wore a dangling, unsuitable suit? Is it because he is dealing with all kinds of social restraints and out-of-fits? Is he distracted and mentally distracted when he has nothing to do with him? Or his upright posture and good-looking muscle lines? what is it?

I checked the information. Uncle Mai should be 41 years old when he played this film. But he looks like the heroine said, always like a big boy full of ideals (impractical and irresponsible). This real contrast is really interesting.

After watching this film, it reminded me of a sentence: There is no time to be quiet, but someone is carrying the load. In fact, the two dads in this play are both responsible and loving people. The embrace of my adoptive father and Anna, the small hands of the twins held by Uncle Mai’s Jacob’s funeral, and the clear eyes of the Pakistani orphanage child deeply moved me.

Responsibility and love have been passed on alternately.

After the Wedding quotes

  • Jørgen Lennart Hannson: I am sick, damn it! I'm the one that is out of time. Jacob, I am dying. You have to stay and do what we have decided. Anna will need you... And Helene... And the boys... They're so young, Jacob. Look at me, Jacob! Don't you see that there is a point to all of this? You have a responsibility here, Jacob. Do I have to live on the other side of the world to get your help?

  • Helene Hannson: I want to come with you.

    Jørgen Lennart Hannson: No, out of the question. You don't want to, Helene. It's sons and their father in the woods. Or else they'll turn out gay.
