I probably started thinking when I came home frequently from college. Is the title "college student" a play that I added to myself? Because it is close to home, I usually stay home on weekends. When I faced various problems at home as a college student, I didn’t feel that I had a special growth in my thinking and vision compared to when I was in high school: When giving me a large amount of cash to deposit in the bank, I even asked my brother to be my bodyguard; when I moved to the dormitory, I didn't inquire about it in advance. Carrying luggage half circle around the school. And my parents also like a mantra: "college students can't even know this, what a fucking college student". Sometimes, those glamorous identities do not represent ourselves, even if you are a graduate student, a master, a doctor, a white-collar worker, a manager, an executive, or a boss.
The movie is divided into two stages. I happened to watch the previous stage last night. At that time, I was so depressed that I didn’t want to continue watching it. At the same time, I also asked myself: Is it inevitable that it will develop like this? even suicide? Is their life really hopeless? Certainly not. Both parents are stuck in an identity and cannot accept the change of situation. The more fixed the identity, the more difficult it is to accept the drastic change of identity. No matter how your identity changes, you are who you are. This is also the second stage of the movie, the phrase "we are the only one in this world" my mother said. When my mother saw the sun come out with this little faith, she finally had the courage and confidence to return home. When my father woke up, he was freed from the fate of a homeless man, and the younger son seemed to almost become a street homeless man. The second stage is a dramatic arrangement, with a strong sense of form, earth-shaking redemption, and rising hope.
If it comes to drama, the first stage is also dramatic. The director put his friend who was also laid off as a companion to "Dad" to find a job, and ended up committing suicide. This is a hint of fate. Letting a large amount of cash be picked up by "Dad", isn't this to detect the personality of "Dad", "Dad" picks it up and runs away. He also let "Dad" meet "Mama" at this time, which simply made the shame inside and outside overwhelm him. And "Mom" finally drove for the first time after getting the driver's license. She was actually walking with a "failed uncle" who had no hope of life. The car was still stolen! When the last hope for "Dad" was shattered, I wanted to go crazy and casual, but I didn't expect that the car drove to the end of the road. For the role of "Mom", there is a fragment at the beginning: the house was in a storm, "Mom" closed the place where the rain was blowing into the house, and brought a piece of paper over to dry it. The door, let the wind and rain continue to blow in. This is also the director's foreshadowing. "Mom" is a person who has witnessed the development and changes of the family. Although she maintained it with her own strength, she gave up later.
