People hiding in water tank

The movie ends with Ah He carrying his mother on a bicycle, and there is no subtitle similar to "Awen's bicycle stealing behavior is very bad and he has been criticized and educated."

There were no subtitles similar to "Awen surrendered" or "Awen was arrested".

In the movie, Ahao once told a story.

Sima Guang played hide-and-seek with a group of children. After he found all the children, he said that there was one other child who had not been found.

Other children found a water tank under the tree and said: That kid must be in it.

So Sima Guang hit the water tank with a stone.

No water came out of the water tank at all. A child was sitting in the dark part of the water tank, looking out of the tank.

This kid is Sima Guang himself and Ahao.

Sima Guang said that there was another child who had not been found, and the implication was that the other one had hidden.

The one outside the water tank is the disguised him, and the one hiding in the water tank is the real him.

As Ah He said: Ah Hao is a very good person, and he thinks everything for everyone, but in fact, none of us really knows what he is thinking in his heart.

Everyone and animal can find a shadowed corner, but Ahao does not. He has no water tank, no dark place, only sunlight. 24 hours a day without interruption, bright and warm, sunny.

The English name of the movie is "A Sun", which is the same as A Son. Only Ahao received sunshine in the family, and Awen only admitted that he had only one son.

Ah Hao is sunny and tall and mighty; Ah He lacks sunlight and is short and thin.

Ahao is the one preferred, but this is not a good thing for him, his father's expectations of him are too high, and his pressure is too great.

He scored very well, but failed to get his first choice because of his improper performance. If you were someone else, you would definitely go to the second choice, but he was a perfectionist, so he chose to repeat.

He was perfect in his father's eyes since he was a child, without any flaws or regrets, and finally chose to commit suicide.

Every year, Awen sends the notebooks sent to him by the driving school to Ahao. Ahao already has ten notebooks, but he didn't write a word in them.

He doesn't speak his thoughts, nor is he accustomed to writing them on paper. He always keeps it deep in his heart until he jumped off the building to commit suicide. No one knows why he committed suicide.

The sunshine that Ah He gets is too scarce, and he never knows the taste of warmth. He lives in the darkness and is swallowed by the darkness.

The sunlight that Ah Hao received was too strong, and the harsh sunlight made him want to hide in the shadows. So he walked into the shadows and never came out again.

Ahe and Ahao are two extremes, one extreme preference and the other extreme lack of love.

Ah Wen focused all his attention on Ah Hao, and was completely free with Ah He.

Awen feels that he has paid the most for Ahao and that he is the best to Ahao, so he thinks that Ahao’s future is the brightest. He does not know that Ahao’s only feeling is not happiness, but being overwhelmed. .

Awen's expectations of Ahao are too high, so Ahao sometimes envy Ahe. He hopes that even if one day or an hour, his father will not pay attention to him, can ignore him, and get a little freedom.

Like Sima Guang in his story, he showed a kind and sunny side to the outside world, hiding his true self. But the others didn't notice it at all. They didn't realize that what they saw was the disguised Sima Guang, and the real Sima Guang hid. Even if Sima Guang clearly told everyone that there was another kid who hadn't been found, everyone insisted that everyone was found.

Ah Hao really hoped that people would discover the real him, the one hiding in the water tank, but in the end no such person appeared.

So he could only smash the water tank open by himself like Sima Guang, so that people could see, it turned out that we hadn't noticed, and there was a real him hiding in hiding.

People don't know what Ahao is thinking, so why don't they treat Ahe like this?

Hei Lun bullied Ah He, Ah He did not tell his parents, nor did his parents ask him. The only one who knew someone was bullying him was Caitou, who everyone hated.

He had a relationship with Xiaoyu, and he also didn't tell his parents. He didn't know until Xiaoyu came to visit his parents.

He had a conflict with the inmates of the Juvenile Educational Institute, but he was not malicious. He took the initiative to give everyone the food his mother brought him, but the inmates felt that he was uneasy and kind, and told him not to sleep at night, otherwise he would be beaten to vomit.

He fought with his cellmates, and he did not tell his mother that he lied about hitting the glass.

Later, Caitou was released and harassed him over and over again without telling anyone.

On the surface, Ahe and Ahao are completely different or even completely opposite people, but in fact, they are the same. They both don't tell the truth. They are both people who hide in the water tank.

Sister Qin said: You have to tell, we don't know anything if someone comes to the door.

Ah He said: Nothing.

Ahao is a top student, but is his lifelong dream really to be a top student? It may or may not be, but no one knows.

Everyone says Ah He is bad, but is he really as bad as everyone says?

Ahao is good in everything, and Awen prefers him, which eventually makes him unbearable.

Ahe is not good in everything, and Awen does not recognize his son.

How does Sister Qin comment on Ahe?

He joined the boxing team and fought at school and outside, until something happened a while ago.

She evaluated Ah He objectively and impartially. She would not think that he was perfect just because he was her son, nor would she deny her son because he was bad.

If Awen can learn more from his wife, maybe the ending will be quite different.

Ah Hao didn't tell his parents anything. He never said that he wanted to commit suicide. He didn't quarrel before committing suicide. There was no abnormality at all. As usual, there was no sign that his parents felt too sudden.

It is precisely because of her female classmate Guo Xiaozhen that Sister Qin knows what Ahao is doing recently.

Recently, he often sent his female classmates home, and went to the zoo with the female classmates, told her the story of Sima Guang, and told her his understanding of sunshine... But these were only one ten thousandth of all his things.

His parents did not even know him as much as a female classmate.

This is very normal in this day and age. I believe that 99% of teenagers’ parents don’t understand their children as much as their classmates.

Awen didn't know Ahao, nor Ahe, because he didn't recognize this son and never talked to him.

Awen didn't understand both of his sons at all.

It wasn't until Ah He entered the juvenile auxiliary education home and Ah Hao jumped off the building that he remembered that he should communicate with his son, and it was all Ah He spoke first.

This reminds me of last year’s news that a 17-year-old boy died on the spot after jumping off a bridge after being criticized by his mother.

Some netizens criticized parents for refusing to give up when their children are about to jump the bridge, and they have to wait until he really wants to jump before stopping. Some netizens criticized that children do not need to be so extreme.

Both viewpoints are reasonable. It is not the responsibility of one of the parties that this happened, but the failure of communication between the two parties.

But in many cases, it's not that the children don't want to communicate, but that they try to communicate, but the parents firmly believe that they are right, and they still have to follow their own ideas.

When the child once, twice, three times... finds that it is useless to say what he thinks, he will not say it in the future.

Ahe and Ahao didn't say what they thought or did. It was their fault. But why didn't they say it? Maybe it was because they had said it before, but their parents didn't care what they thought, and they stopped saying it over time.

Ahe chose to tell Caitou that he eventually did a stupid thing with Caitou.

Ah Hao chose to hold it in his heart, but he finally suffocated.

In the end, Awen's solution to the problem was to do something privately, without telling his son. In essence, this is the same as the son concealing what he did and thought.

Although the subtitles of his arrest did not appear at the end of the movie, no matter how advanced the technology is, he will be found out if he kills 80% of the people, so he will be greeted by imprisonment or even the death penalty.

Killing Caitou can solve a temporary problem, but not a lifetime problem.

Ahe and Ahao are not good at communicating, so why not Awen?

He gave all his love to Ahao. He thought he was very good to Ahao. In fact, he only touched himself. He never asked Ahao what he wanted, whether he wanted to study medicine, whether he wanted to repeat his studies, Want sunlight or shadow.

He paid no attention to Ah He, which indirectly caused Ah He to go astray.

The experiences of the two sons are closely related to him.

The verdict was settled, and the civil compensation was 1.5 million. The Caitou's family had no money, so Heilun's father, Mr. Qiu, went to find Awen.

For the first time, he drove away Mr. Qiu directly.

The second time, he threw Mr. Qiu in the wilderness.

Mr. Qiu came to him calmly, and he perfunctory each other every time. No way, Mr. Qiu had to use the most extreme method.

Only then did he say, let’s go to the office and have a good chat, okay?

One of the reasons why Caitou harassed Ah He was also Ah Wen.

There is only his grandmother in Caitou's family. His grandmother can't spend 1.5 million. His home has been sealed up, and his grandmother has also been rushed to the nursing center for the elderly.

At that time, Awen didn't think about helping, but now he remembered sending him a red envelope to tell him to stay away from Ahe.

So is killing Caitou really the only way to solve the problem?

Caitou is not so busy either, he has nothing to do all day long and insists on harassing Ahe.

He harassed Ah He because, in his opinion, he was a very loyal person. Hei Lun bullied Ah He, and he went to cut Hei Lun without saying a word, but in court, Ah He said that his original intention was only Frightened Hei Lun and shrugged off the responsibility, leading to three more years of imprisonment.

He helped Ah He get revenge on those who bullied him at the cost of imprisonment, but afterwards Ah He said: Didn’t we say we should scare him?

So Caitou is about to ask: When did you say this?

You did something for a person, but he said, "You did it yourself, and I didn't tell you to do it." At this time, do you feel that you are passionate?

His so-called loyalty and brotherhood are superfluous in Ah He's eyes and unnecessary. He will naturally feel uncomfortable.

He has been detained for three years longer than Ahe. He has no credit and hard work, but Ahe has never visited him in the past three years.

In addition, the house was sealed and grandma had nowhere to go, but Awen did not help.

No one is born to want to be a villain, a villain.

It's just that these things that happened to him made him feel very uncomfortable and made him feel very unfair.

However, Ahe's family didn't feel sorry for him at all, and wanted to sever relations with him, so he had to come to harass Ahe.

There is a detail in the movie. Ah He complains that Caitou smokes in the car.

For the second time, he still thought about smoking in the car, but he remembered what Ahe had said, and finally resisted, got out of the car and smoked again.

Ironically, if he continues to rectify Ah He and continue to smoke in the car, then Ah Wen will not find a chance to kill him.

He finally wanted to let Ahe go, but he was hit to death by Awen in the next second.

Caitou is dead. We don't know what he thinks or whether he will harass Ah He in the future, but the director filming the details of his smoking outside the car definitely makes sense.

Maybe Caitou didn't have to go against Ahe, maybe he just wanted to punish Ahe, maybe this was really the last time he harassed Ahe, maybe Awen didn't need to kill him.

Awen picked up the rock and should not smash it at Caitou, but should smash the water tank in Ahao's heart.

If Awen is fair to the two children, instead of kidnapping them with family affection, but communicating with them, knowing what they want and what they don’t want, maybe Ahao would not choose to commit suicide, maybe Ahe would just be bullied by the black wheel Will not be solved by criminal means.

If Awen can respect Ah He's thoughts and listen to his heart, maybe A He will tell him that he has a girlfriend, maybe A He will learn to use contraceptive measures, and Xiaoyu does not need to face the baby and cry alone.

If Mr. Qiu finds Awen for the first time, Awen will be able to sit down and have a good talk with him, and he will not force him in extreme ways.

If Awen can go to the juvenile nursing home to see Caitou, even if he can't spend 1.5 million, he can also arrange a place for Caitou's grandmother.

At least Caitou knows that Awen has figured out a way, instead of seeing him and his grandma not being able to get out for a while in the juvenile auxiliary nursery, he will not harass Ahe after he comes out, and there is no need to make trouble. To the point where you die and live.

In fact, Awen could solve many problems peacefully when they first happened, but he chose to escape.

Then when he can no longer escape, it is likely that the matter has already become a big issue, he can no longer solve it, or it will take a lot of money to solve it, such as the death of his son, such as his sentence.

Ah He said: Actually none of us really knows what he (A Hao) is thinking in his heart.

This sentence applies to many people, to Ahao, to Ahe, and to Awen, Caitou...all.

There is also such a sentence in "Big Buddha Plus": Although it is the space age, human beings have long been able to go to the moon by spacecraft, but they will never be able to explore the inner universe of others.

No one knows what Ahao is thinking, and no one has asked him, this is one of the reasons for his suicide.

Since he was a child, he hoped that someone could smash the water tank, see the universe in his heart, and see the real him, but he didn't meet such a person until he died.

Maybe you and I grew up like this. All your parents saw you were in disguise, while the real you was hiding in the water tank.

We can't change our childhood, but at least when we have a child in the future, we can ensure that he gets the right amount of sunshine, no more, no less. It will not be too scarce, nor will it be too glaring. Sometimes they can hide in the shadows and enjoy true freedom.

Parents did not take the initiative to smash our water tank, but at least we can actively smash the child’s water tank in the future to understand what he thinks every day and what he wants instead of forcibly imposing our thoughts on him In the end, only myself was touched.

If no one smashed his water tank, maybe he would choose to smash it himself, and then would walk into the shadows like A Hao, and never come out again.

    The tension between the characters makes people forget the existence of the film frame, and the suspenseful development adds layers of warmth and cruelty. Such a specific story, but like a ripple, it spreads to the invisible shadow.

    TIFF, when I changed the ticket, I said I would change to A Sun. The staff asked A Son? After the screening, I really mentioned this double meaning. Lin Shengxiang’s music is extra points.
