The true portrayal of the children of the reorganized family

One of the most depressing films I have seen this year, the delicate and real character contradictions lead to a strong sense of substitution. Nige is introverted and sensitive, very insightful, has some extremely high requirements for food (life) but lacks courage. From the very beginning, he knows that his father hates him. Although he expresses his attitude many times, he is in his father's warnings and threats (go to The orphanage) compromised, the words "don't leave me alone" can best reflect his character. In order to make a living to his father (cooking food), he finally bravely chose his own life with the encouragement of the little boss. Stepmother is actually a type of person who relies on others to live, so she prayed for an apology when Nige ran away. The father is a typical chauvinist autocratic character. He never listens to his son who is not obedient to him. He directly threatens and warns his son. The most he says to his son is "Be obedient, I warn you", but he is indeed a man who loves his wife. Personal opinion: Maybe, Nige was more determined when he resisted his father when he was a child, and there may be a better ending. His father's attitude towards Nige might have made him afraid to live alone.
