"Because of someone's death or about to die, people reunite after many years", even with such a common subject, Wes Anderson can always photograph his unique "little fresh eccentric taste", so Delicate, beautiful, yet gentle and sad.
②
The high spirits of the "geniuses" only lasted for the time of "Hey Judy", and the camera only turned, and only their "terrible" after many years was left.
Chas, who survived the plane crash, lost his wife, and raised his two sons by himself, developed PTSD. He seemed to distrust everything and was always in unreasonable anxiety. Obviously, if nothing changes, the cycle of disaster known as "jerk father and geek son" will undoubtedly continue between Chas and his two sons more than ten years from now.
So the good thing about this movie is that the person who planted the cause and effect later ended the cause and effect. Even better, he still used his cynical bastard way.
③
Most of the so-called epiphanies we have seen are actually false. Human beings have always been ignorant and seldom have the root of wisdom. So Wes Anderson is very frank, and he doesn't think that a lifetime old bastard can really turn into a kind old father by saying "old age is coming", not to mention that his children hate him so much.
Therefore, "releasing" does not come from understanding, and there is no foreshadowing or major event waiting to be staged, and then everyone will look at each other and smile to release the suspicion. The mother accepts the new love, the daughter's marriage breaks down, the fearful and vulnerable young son cuts his wrist and is rescued, and the father's fictional death is played out lightly in the end.
They don't even have to let go, just think in their hearts that life has to go on after all, and then give the future more bright colors from their reverie, "It's better to be brave", "It's better to move on."
