The core proposition of the whole film appears in the lines of the biographer presented in the voice of the mother. The heroine said that work is not the goal, and there is always a barrier at home. Of course, this is the heroine’s confession, but the meaning behind it Why not every family member in the film needs to ask themselves? Through three family members who hinder each other but have to stay together, the film raises this deliberate and difficult question: Is the lifestyle guided by existential philosophy applicable in the family?
The youngest son’s longing for his mother and female classmates bothered him, and the father’s natural oversight role made comfort and communication impossible.
The father bears the pain of losing his wife, and as the head of the family, he cannot reveal his true feelings and thoughts to his son.
The eldest son wanders between the responsibilities of the new family and the old feelings of the past, and neither the younger brother nor the father seems to be a possible helper. Sleeping in the room where the father arranges the bed and towels shows that "I can share it for you" The possibility of help is actually an invisible pressure, and feelings still can’t communicate with each other, at least not in the movie.
What can be seen in the film is that although the name is family, there has been no consensus and understanding between the main characters. Once the emotional problem leaves the individual and enters the outside world and becomes ethical and moral, it loses its original meaning. The family can What you do is to be blindly considerate like the youngest son tells his father "Brother is not very well". From the practical experience, this kind of understanding often causes harm instead of comforting because of his blindness and misunderstanding. When the eternal estrangement between people is In the small circle of the family, conflicts will naturally appear.

The difficult thing is to express this subtle rejection of love. The events and plots are often unconvincing on the surface (even if the camera is framed at the door of the emergency room, there will be no shadow of existentialism), such as this film. This kind of personal character expression is a very good choice. It has made excellent precedents very recently . The son’s stream of consciousness love letters and fantasy, father’s memories interspersed with the mother’s memories at the right time are such scenes that penetrate the characters’ hearts. More than lines and communication, mood, rather than stories, allows the audience to experience the complex emotional flow and changes in the family. The novel expression in the beginning section is in place. Through such details, the three sensitive family members are three-dimensional and complete. Be presented.
In addition to the proper use of emotions and appropriate segmentation, many creative details are also commendable. The slow motion of car accidents, the return of the documentary screen to the reality screen, the younger son’s paintings and games to kill the father are the creators themselves. The delicate understanding of life makes such movies possible. Those questions that people can never answer are appearing in such fragmented details, subtly exuding everyone's extremely complex inner world.

If there is a shortcoming, it is that the older brother does not have enough roles, and the younger brother’s problems can be solved by dating and the final reunion.
