In the last two hours of the movie, I have been watching the remaining 20 minutes before I start to understand its meaning. No one knows what to do. Everyone wants love. Everyone needs help. When Margaret kissed her brother Ricky's knife-scarred arm and shed tears, as if everything had been answered, everyone suddenly found the entrance to love because of Ricky's suicide. This is a family of geniuses, but also a family disaster. The father who speaks very awkwardly and can't wait to provoke everyone, the serious and cautious and slightly neurotic mother, the elder brother who has lost his wife and is extremely insecure, the melancholy and mysterious adopted daughter with dual personality, the affectionate and inextricable younger brother. There is also Eli, who is eager to join the family, and the honest and honest servant... When the family reunited, a series of ridiculous stories happened in this family. This film has very little to think about the hysterical plot of family relationships, and more about the way of conflict and reconciliation between family members in smooth and soothing music. It's as if you sit down and listen to an old man who is nearly a hundred years old tell you a story about a mural that happened a century ago. But the attitude it reveals is a stunned and humorous sneer. When my father tried to save his wife who had been separated for 8 years, he lied and was exposed to various accusations. But during this time of lying and living together, the rigid past began to soften. The old man has been trying to improve the relationship between the three generations, but the way is awkward and weird, and he is always self-defeating. But the laughter on him is so funny that he can choke the audience every time. After a series of nonsensical actions, his father successfully smashed the lifted rock on his own feet. After the matter collapsed, he reluctantly patted his younger son on the shoulder and said: "I hope I can tell you how to do it, but I don't know." This sentence pointed to the heart. This is the true face of life and one of the main thrusts of this movie. Because in most of the out-of-control scenes, we are all the authorities at a loss, beating our chests and looking for a breakthrough that doesn't seem to exist. After knowing his sister's love history and having an affair with a good friend, Ricky could no longer bear everything he had endured, so he chose to commit suicide. This is one of the choices people make when they are helpless. Death is not far away from us. It may be a deep frustration, it may be a lack of fighting spirit after doing nothing for a long time, and the more one step, any stimulation, it becomes a difference in thought. But every time we make a painful choice, in most cases it is to divert our feeling of powerlessness at a loss.
Ricky is not a psychological distortion. From the scene when his sister picked him up, it can be seen that the soft sunlight hits Gwyneth Paltrow's face, which is so beautiful. This is the image of Ricky's sister, elegant and beautiful, and has never changed. In fact, no matter what the scene, the sister can be the perfect goddess. Because of the love and beauty in Ricky's heart, he never gives hate and ugliness opportunities. Ricky chose to commit suicide because he was too tired of love. Ricky's approach shocked everyone, so they began to face life squarely. When you feel it deeply, you can get answers if you don't understand it. Everyone needs help, what's hidden, what's disguised, are just the masks that life covers our faces. I really like the retro tone of this film and the soundtrack they choose for each scene. Including each carefully set small humor and small turn of the story, it is an elegant attitude under the cold essence of life. Even the colors appearing in the film are saturated red and rhubarb. These are warm and stimulating colors that are active in the story from time to time. Rather than being dramatic, I like to say that the film has a fragmented and beautiful life. What life is is too difficult to control and too difficult to describe. What love is, how you do it, how you accept it, and how you give it, no matter how talented you are, you must slowly learn to absorb emotions. The film cleverly organizes these seemingly messy fragments, chapter by chapter, slowly expressing the love of life and the praise of love. The moment Ricky tells her sister that I love you, all the people and things in the story should be on the right track. Maybe what we lack is not the ability to love others, but the time to let go. Margaret finally knows that someone is willing to love her deeply. Ricky is finally with the one he loves and cheers up again. The father no longer awkwardly makes himself like a father and sincerely wishes his wife happiness again. , The eldest son also bravely admitted that he was a widower and forgave his father, Eli went to rehabilitation. Life looks so good that there are no gaps. The future is uncontrollable, and things have indeed deteriorated, but we are just powerless now. Life may be just a cold joke with you, but things will always get better. I really like the ending part of the film.
