Female Independence Consciousness Behind Family Cards

This film actually expresses a very common theme-family affection. The protagonist played by Ryan Reynolds not only failed to get his father’s affirmation and encouragement, but also grew up in his father’s scolding and corporal punishment. , The only mother who loves him also often endures threats, beatings and scolding from his father. When the male protagonist grows up in such an environment that is extremely lacking in his father’s love and the sense of security brought to him by the family, his mother naturally constitutes one of the most important parts of his emotions, so that later he saw his father beating his mother again At that time, the hero, who was a thin child at the time, would furiously resist his father who was a few heads taller than him. Later, when the male protagonist grew up and his mother finally completed her degree as she wished, from our traditional point of view, it was also when the mother reached the "age to enjoy the blessings" that the car accident that took her mother's life seemed to make people feel like a person. Especially sighed.

At this point, the main theme of the film may have emerged: the male protagonist grew up in an environment of a violent and extremely selfish father, how to face the sudden departure of his mother in adulthood, and how to face the love that cannot compensate his mother for these years. Find a way to let go of the shadow of childhood and reconcile with your father.

Then he wanted to put his son on a pair of glasses He walked back on his own by the side of the road in the heavy rain.

In the eyes of her husband Charlie, he is the emperor of the family who cannot resist. His wife and son must be obedient to themselves. He cannot accept his son’s premature display of talent and disdain for him. He may have never even respected him. His wife, in his eyes, has never regarded his wife as an independent woman. So when Lisa got a degree and the couple said to Lisa "I' proud of you" on the way to pick up their son, his wife was suspicious, and he asked "really. is that so hard to believe?" In their long married life, he almost never praised his wife. When Michael was young, his wife wanted to divorce many times.
