What kind of state is it in adulthood?

As a teenager, when

Tony missed his father, Jack took him to imagine: If you receive two tickets from Africa at this time, you and your mother boarded the plane, saw your father, and saw the blue starry sky and yellow stars... .This is the comfort that young people can do for each other.

When Jack was laughed at by his classmates, compared with Jack's withdrawal, Tony's punches showed innocent loyalty.

Tony tells Jack that his mother is going to be driven away by his family. Jack cries: They want to go to the high school of their dreams together. They can walk. It is more convenient for Dad to go to work. He rents out the house and pays the rent to his aunt... This is a teenager. Innocent.

There is also the weakness of the means of confronting each other's parents through quiet words.

He and him had a wonderful encounter at this age. Someone shared their ignorant thoughts. The lonely figure was accompanied, and the dream was reflected in each other...

But whether they wanted it or not, their emotions were no longer limited. Controlled by oneself, there will be a lot of helplessness, this is not because of parents, because society is the growth itself and will inevitably be encountered. This has nothing to do with children’s lack of right to speak. For example, in the movie "Cheek", even if Mike finally resisted the pressure of his parents and did not sell Chick in front of the police, he was eventually beaten by the society. In this system of rules, How long can the friendship boat last? This is what the director is curious about, and it is what every human body that we have grown up will experience.



In adulthood,

the moment the father died, throwing away the clutter, weeping in the stairwell; the

child loses friendship and walks out of the room to embrace; perhaps only the husband and wife can understand each other, understand the child’s loss, understand their helplessness, and at the same time forgive themselves The seemingly cold.

Adults have entered a system of social rules, where the feeling of sympathy is just a distant desire; dependence on parents and care of family members have become a point-to-stop limit; therefore, they are more stable than teenagers. , Sensible, helpless, selfish... the

elderly have

realized the value of their work, have stable savings and a stable home; their children have also grown up... they no longer desire that they have broken through The society with my head squeezed into it, I want a person who can talk more, and return to the original state of emotional desire again... However, the children are busy with the road he has walked in the past, and just like this, they are abandoned.
