The background of the film is a poor and sick father, and the main line of the narrative is the 18 months after the mother left home. When the warmth between father and daughter and husband and wife is placed in this context, every detail is touching. You can appreciate the hard work of the father, the hardship of the mother, and the sweetness of the daughter. The family lived a trivial life.
I am especially tired of some Hulks who comment for the sake of comments and keep their mouths shut. Is there a relationship between the two? There is also a style of writing that is especially like a self-media author, saying some nonsense about "movie narrative", in addition to deceiving click-through rates and self-righteousness, the content makes people nauseous.
In addition to making blockbuster movies, Americans can also make this kind of nuanced Japanese lifestyle and family movies. There is no fork, no reversal, no tall, handsome, rich, white, and beautiful, no one is forcing you to have children and find a boyfriend. Some are sick fathers, fathers who refuse to take medicine, fathers who smoke and drink, and fathers who lose their temper. There are also fathers who pick up their daughters, fathers who do housework, and fathers who play with their daughters. They drove a broken car and told their children, "You have poverty." Life and sick dad, but what does this have to do with you".
Dad also has great time, just like Mom said: never regret marrying Dad. He graduated from Harvard, of aristocratic descent, worked for Boston TV, and cooks deliciously. But then, Dad fell ill. But he worked hard to take care of the child, so angry that he ran away from home and finally came back to look at his daughter. He turned on the sewing machine in the middle of the night for her costume. I ran to fight with relatives at home for my wife's work.
Dad took his daughter to see the great-grandmother. The great-grandmother said that they could drive the Bentley, but the father refused. I hope to help my daughter go to a private school, but my grandmother refused. The daughters didn't understand, and thought that at least they could sell the car. Dad explained that things would not be what they thought. My daughter still doesn't understand, but my father's three views are super positive. There is a scene: Dad opened the refrigerator and stared blankly. The two daughters hopped around to eat. Dad looked like a polar bear.
My mother wanted to take them to New York because they couldn't find a job. The children argued that without them, their father would not take care of themselves, and that their father would be lonely. At the end of the film, Dad watched the children leave. The eldest daughter burst into tears without suicide. He waved back to Dad. Dad waved his hand and turned into a fist... Dad is the silly polar bear.
I especially like this kind of movies that are as gentle as jade and straightforward, so I write my life in the movie. There is no drama, no dog blood, no sadness and misery. Dad was still ill, mother did not return to Boston to find a job because of graduation, and wealthy relatives did not help them. The husband and wife were still separated, and the father and daughter still quarreled. But life is like this... Only when family members support each other can life go on with ups and downs...
As an ordinary person, I have grief and gratitude to the director for his meticulous portrayal.
PS The film does not describe the feelings between husband and wife and the hardships of mother too much, but since mother goes out alone to work hard and decides to go out to study, mother is the backbone of the family. He complained that her husband was not like her husband, making him so difficult, but she never gave up on him. At the beginning of the film, the father is sick and the children are terrified. The mother told the children "Dad is a good person and will never hurt them." She was going to take the child away, but her husband told him that New York was so noisy that he could not go to see the child. In the end, she kept all the children and chose to stay in New York alone.
In the scene in the park, she and her husband cried while supporting each other's shoulders instead of holding them. I think in addition to love, husband and wife should have the power to support each other and cry.
