First of all, some small impressions. The way of stacking the deducted characters in the title reminds me of the iconic connection mode segment of "Eurotrip" that runs through the whole book, and it is not so suitable for this film. , I really think it's a combination of effects, and there is a splicing method of documentary clips (the method in "500 days of summer" that is very atmospheric), so I don't call this film so much, because these two methods are suitable for those with outstanding personalities. It's not something this kind of mediocre film can handle. Less sophisticated arrangements.
As mentioned above, this film does not have too many ups and downs, the performances are quite satisfactory, and there is no grasping, which is still calm and safe. Title: The first day of the rest of your life, it should be understood as Live Life on the basis of the whole film (or live a little when you can), the whole film is not about the family, but the members of the family, because in my opinion Home is just a residence for them. Although most of the film is composed of conversations between family members, those contents are all about their own worlds, but they happen to bring in the people around them for cameo appearances. What is home? Shouldn't there be more focus on getting along with family members?
Obviously, they can't do this, whether it is the curse of the family, or the failed teaching materials to educate failed students, they have begun to disintegrate the family since their grandfather's generation, implanting indifference into the family, resulting in conflicts , family members can't find satisfaction or comfort in the home environment, and then turn to the outside world, let the outside world can arouse their enthusiasm to anesthetize or compensate themselves, and escape from the unhappy situation.
Only when members of the family encounter various troubles or even death can the family be united. Only through painful lessons can you clearly realize that escaping is useless, and the problem has not been solved. What kind of family is this? No one will stand up and try to solve the problem until it is too late. Only losing can teach people to live well, cherish the people around them, and cherish themselves.
When will I learn to live seriously?
Finally, let's talk about the small details, the director seems to pay attention to the unique expression techniques. Very down-to-earth approach. Reminds me of some of my own.
The second child is addicted to enjoyment, tasting red wine, playing music and chasing crush. In it, he dropped the small note of the crush's mobile phone number, and later tried to find the number from the memory of the picture, and I did the same.
The second child likes "empty-handed guitar", and for a diaosi who doesn't have the capital to play music, I also pretend to pretend when I'm deeply in love. Of course, I understand that there is a difference between playing and other people's games. People just like that way. Maybe it's a more free way to express their love.
Adolescence also inexplicably tried a very decadent decadence.
The junior kept a diary, I also wrote a diary, not for homework, but for fun, to have text to remind myself of what happened, so that I can live more awake and more real.
My mother studied visual arts and photographed the corruption process of apples. I had this idea, the reason is that I worked in the fruit cabinet of the supermarket, and I saw that the fruit can be corrupted in the cold storage, and it is still the same, it seems that the mycelium is strange and self-destructing, the first time I saw me, I also mutated for the fruit .
I have been curious about the age of the dog, and I also remember that it is multiplied by a few times, which makes the dog's lifespan look a bit tragic.
Wait a minute, this film can surprise me with these details. As for the educational significance, I really don't know anything, because I think this is a case, a display of a special typical case, and it is not inspiring. If you have to sum up, what is this movie about? Not the family, but the life of each family member, a sigh: cest la vie.
