Single parent.
Witch Lin matches her father as a teacher, and Heihua Bank matches her mother who runs a small laundry.
Their family is a kind of love and pressure co-existing at the same time, it is the state of the interactive relationship between the next generation to grow up quickly, either actively or passively. Lin told Bank in Sydney that "Tomorrow the world (home) is ours" is the most sad fairy tale in this movie.
Lin's mother divorced Lin's father. In the scene where Lin found the sponsorship fee, she saw the parents' divorce certificate at the same time. The next scene paved the way for the piano role, and Lin played a happy birthday song.
Lin revealed a few details in her conversation with her father. First of all, she remembered that yesterday was her mother's birthday, and that she had not played the piano for a long time today in the film. The second reason is that the mother left her father voluntarily for unknown reasons. In Lin's state, it can be seen that Lin misses her mother, but she has no unnecessary complaints about this behavior.
Savour the words that Lin asked her father why she wanted to leave the original school. I think this mother who took the initiative to leave has actively injected the factor of "activeness" into her daughter's blood.
In the later scenes, "Mother" hardly appeared again. Lin and her father had a good relationship. As the opponent of the enrollment scene, it can be seen that the two are in a very equal relationship. Lin's love for her father is detailed in many scenes. For example, she thinks that what Bank, who resembles her father, is right, she bought a new shirt for her father. The most important thing is that she does not make money for her own material (not spent), and her desire for money is more like it stems from not wanting her father to work hard. Also when both father and daughter can reach out to make money, there will be a small imbalance in this family.
Lin's composition is proactive and extroverted. Although the science is excellent, the film emphasizes her good at mathematics. She is also good at sports and looks good at piano. Judging from the various achievements, she is a smart talent on the spot. In her personality, inherent experience may not be so important. The current response and appeal are important. This is the opposite of Banker.
Lin walked to the door little by little, opened the door by herself and saw Banker who had been detained, then opened the door to refuse Bank's request, and then opened the door to surrender to the last moment. These scenes are connected in series. , We can see that she is growing up every step of the way, because she absorbs and responds very quickly. At this time, if there is a catalyst such as "father's love", she will find her current path in life.
What was her path? When Grace asked for Lin's help in the library, Lin was moved by her request-I will call you Teacher Xiao Lin from now on.
The word "teacher" is interesting. My personal interpretation is vanity. This vanity contains Lin's heart that she is ready to feel that she can be the same as her father. This "sameness" may be for making money or for herself. His life choices are the masters. Compared to Banker, who couldn't refuse her mother's request on the other side, her ego was much more logical.
Lin had a confrontation with her father in the film. When he was found cheating on an exam for the first time, his father made such a big fire, and Lin did not change her mind on the road of greed.
But why did Lynn think she was wrong when she came back from Sydney? Because I experienced catastrophic tension, psychological and physical double blows, and lost my companions (I wrote about the precious things lost in youth before). The last straw that crushed him was that on the side of the airport road, his father asked his boyfriend and asked him to come for dinner at night. This is care. It is the care that seems to be healthy and equal but lacks in this group of family relationships.
There is a deep value principle in Lin's self-setting. The truth she believes in has been advancing cheating in exams, that is, "You did something wrong, so what I did is reasonable because of what you did wrong." The school collects money indiscriminately, and she thinks she wants to earn this money. return. My father paid so much money for himself, and he has to earn it back.
Emotion is the mirror of many problems. At that time, my father's love was a mirror, allowing Lin to say, "I did one thing wrong."
Compared to Lin, Bank went to another situation in a single-parent family. Lin grew up actively, while Bank was forced to grow, which is also the result of Banker's definite blackening. He doesn't react to the spot (the man at the garbage dump is helpless), he reacts to the materials he has accumulated.
Bank's first appearance (Shun Xu) was when he was nervous before the genius contest, and Lin cared about him.
Speaking of concern, there is a mother who has only played twice in Bank's family, once from the back. Later, in Bank's angry dialogue, it was emphasized again that her mother washed her back. The other time was after Sydney came back, Bank was expelled from the school, and the mother, who was a completely blurred background, was crying and signing. This is pressure and love.
This setting is very similar to Zhang Gelai and his mother in "Unborn". I think Lin naturally resembled this role in his vision, which led to his perseverance and kindness. As a result, Lin Lin's scholarship was cancelled.
The right choice has led everyone's destiny to a bad result, which is also one of the definitions of life.
Bank won the certificate of the genius contest, of course, did not eat the salmon set meal. Lin mentioned this to him because he smelled the instant noodles that he had eaten at noon from the vomiting body. He returned home and put the certificate in front of his father's photo. It turns out that Bank's father passed away. Compared with Lin's mother, who took the initiative to leave his partner, death was not an active choice, so Bank and his mother were forced to take on the small Bank's laundry room.
Bank’s father also explained once in the previous article. He played a memory game with Bank and remembered many digits after the decimal point of the value of π. It seemed good too. He called it playing a memory game with his father instead of "father must What do you want me to remember". Forced to accept, formed Bank at this time. Just like Zhang Gelai, the father is gone and the son must grow up.
Banker is good at memory. Although it seems that he is faster than Lin in doing the questions, he emphasizes review. Unlike Lin who is more responsive, he cares about preparation (reading before entering the examination room). , This kind of training created him unable to adapt flexibly. He showed his inability to react on the spot several times, reported cheating one by one, couldn't run away before being beaten, and reacted in a panic in the toilet. He showed that he didn't know what to do.
And when he is fully prepared, he is confident and even sharp. Except for answering the value of π, one of the only two martial arts-like lens contributions in the whole film is him (the other is Lin holding a pencil). When the minibus said the word "junkyard", he said it was too fast. He threw his ears over, which was a backlog of anger; he calculated that at least he could still get a certain amount of money, and then asked for another amount of money in the toilet, all of which were accumulated.
Both he and Lin seem to be realistic pragmatism, but Lin’s motivation behind it comes from the mentality that can be dismantled by love: if you have done nothing wrong and I feel love, I may realize my fault. On the other hand, Bank is one question after another, recitation after recitation, cheating after cheating. In the end, he will embark on the road of cheating again without looking back.
There is a reality mixed in this: Bank got the money, two million, only to renovate the store. Life with minibus and Grace is still too far away. Looking back at the happy family of the minibus, both parents are there, money and everyone have a certain degree of freedom. This kind of irony is really a terrifying life.
This is the second reason why I like this film. This kind of family education and the cultivation of such children, outlines the relationship between the composition of the family and the fate of the characters in the Eastern society with very little brushwork. It is neither positive nor negative. Let the audience feel in the film. Very touching.
The film satirizes the school (the principal's way of operation), satirizes the society (the gap between the rich and the poor), and even satirizes the eye of justice (the scenes where Bank was beaten and Lin evaded the teacher were both monitored and shot, but they didn't work) , But retained the love of the family, but also regretted the love of companions.
