In 1976-83, the Argentine military government ruled the country. At least 20,000 dissidents were secretly killed and disappeared forever. During this period, the society was turbulent and people were panicked. The father in the film participated in the dirty war. At the beginning of the film, he participated in the military reception and briefly explained his identity. It is not difficult to understand why the hostages were killed after taking the ransom because he thought these people deserved to die. In fact, they followed the kidnapping routine in the film-starting with acquaintances and kidnapping the hostages in the first three times at home. They had contact with the participants before the kidnapping. the second one was the eldest son of the housekeeper is the third time that the father failed to come forward directly to the hostage situation so that no matter what happened is certain death
at first thought it was a good father to eldest son, the family had to do to participate in the first A kidnapping of a friend, but the father got the ransom and even tore the ticket. The elder son was very tortured after hearing the explanation from his father that he did not want his family to be dangerous. I also felt relieved that I was still a good father, but the more I looked at it, the more wrong my mother was. The teacher fully supports the husband’s behavior and even cooks the food for the hostages. The food for the hostages is so small that the husband can’t stand it anymore. So the mother who is a teacher is an out-and-out but accomplice. If the father is really doing everything for his family, then he will do it. You shouldn’t let your family know about these tasks, even if you don’t hide your family, at least don’t keep the hostages in your house. Ruo Kuang until he had stable feelings and began to realize that he did not want to participate in the third time. The father was very upset with him. At this time, the mother came to persuade the elder son to understand the father and help the father to see this. I couldn't help but complain about this teacher. A good understanding wife later failed in the action, the father’s vicious face was completely exposed, the hostage’s death and failure were attributed to the son. In fact, even if the acquaintance succeeds, the hostage is not the same and will be killed by the father’s gang. Said father is a complete villain, an executioner brainwashed by the government, and an irresponsible father
Wouldn’t it be better if the film explained the reaction of the father’s first abduction to the family and the gradual psychological changes of all family members? One kidnapping of the youngest son started to show fear during the second kidnapping, the youngest daughter heard the hostage call on the fourth time and started to be afraid. Other times, the family was happy and happy. It’s really weird unless the first kidnapping in the film was not at all. the real first or else how could a person be so indifferent
there is the eldest son suddenly jumped to his lack of psychological changes after describing unacceptable by the youngest son of fear when young home while away from home to become his father's right-hand man missing account Let the audience be inexplicable and personally think that these are the failures of the film. The
practical significance is to reflect the dirty war in Argentina. The father is the representative of the cruel military government. The mother represents the supporters and accomplices of the military government.
