"Patrik 1,5": The gentle man

In the film, I can appreciate the exquisiteness and comfort of Nordic life everywhere: neat and beautiful communities, leisurely and elegant life, delicious food, and the...blue sky.

In the beginning of the movie, Gan and Sven, the newly moved comrades-in-law husbands, appeared generously at the neighborhood party, and the two held hands together to face those worldly eyes. Their dream is so simple: adopt only one baby, have one of their own children, a newborn, so that the husband can live like a normal family. With the development of the plot, Gan and Sven continued to fight against government agencies, and faced the ridicule and discrimination from their neighbors. Only because of the negligence of a decimal point, the welfare institution turned a 1.5-year-old baby into a 1.5-year-old baby. Patrik, a 15-year-old rebellious teenager. Patrik's appearance, intervened in their lives, and a wonderful scene was staged.

In "Adopted Son Fifteen Years Old", what I fully felt was the endless tenderness and love given by Gan.

When Gan smiled at Sven, I could see full of love in his eyes, it was 100% love. The eyes he stared at his lover were so gentle that everyone was jealous.

When Gan learned of Patrik's tragic life experience, he used his love to soften the heart of the rebellious teenager little by little, and he was so persistent. How can such a man be unloved!

Gan is gentle. The expression in his eyes was so soft and sentimental, flowing as long as water but inclusive like water, and every movement was so soft and gentle, as if he saw a natural feeling from him. Kind of maternal brilliance. Yes, Gan makes people believe that motherhood does not only exist in women, it is a kind of gifted love, a natural existence. Gan, who has always been so gentle, exploded like a male lion when Patrik might have been attacked, but even so, this was not contrary to the maternal gentle brilliance that radiated from him.

Gan is cute. He is such a nice and lovely man. When he can’t get the neighbor’s understanding, he will ruin the flowers and plants he has worked so hard to grow, but he will soon recover and clean up the garden; when he knows that Sven has had an affair, he will be soaked in the rain and angrily kicked down. The trash can on the side of the road, but after seeing the gaze of passers-by, he picked the trash back into the can. All these lovely actions are all integrated into the hearts of the audience.

Gan's personal charm runs through the entire film without modification. Male strength, maternal love, and upright character. Compassion, sense of justice, and social ethics are shown one by one.

Warmth, tenderness, and love, these beautiful things make people warm and make life beautiful. It is such a gentle man who saved a selfish man and an autistic boy with his kindness, tolerance and fraternity.

Regarding Patrik, a fifteen-year-old boy, his father is unknown, his mother has died young, and his spoiled temperament is a typical problem child. It’s just that I’m thinking, the existence of problem children should be more problematic parents and the existence of problem society, right? And we really have to think twice before doing anything!

Gan used his love to win Patrik’s trust in him, and he established a father-son relationship with him in the process of "gardening", "banking" and "running." Patrik also helped Gan get his lover Sven in "pizza", The call of "Whiskey" and "Country Music" will know how to get lost.

Regarding Sven, he looks very strong and manly, hehe, he should be a strong "offensive". Although he had betrayed Gan in the middle, I think it was just the final counterattack made by a man like him who knew he would be deeply infatuated with him, but in the end he found that he had nothing but to come back. Other ways.

At the end is HAPPY ENDING, everyone is happy. It's just that I have always had a question that is nowhere to be verified: Is it gender or personality that allows Gan to tolerate the infidelity and deficiency of his partner in this way? Is it the broad-mindedness or the male detachment or the tolerance of love?

In the end, I think the only shortcoming of this film is that its ending is too perfect. Sven is a natural bohemian man. The house, the garden, and the children are never what he wants. He thinks he is with gay lovers, everything It would be different. On the surface, his anxiety was due to Patrik’s sudden arrival, but in fact it was because the peaceful family life bored him and made him want to escape again, just as he shirked his ex-wife and daughter. The responsibility is the same, but in the end he suddenly changed. This...it seems a bit of a joke...

But maybe the director just wants to make a sweet movie. Who doesn't like HE?
