The scene of the father and son hugging at the end is quite touching. The father endured the pain of losing his wife, cared about March but couldn't bear his weird behavior. He didn't know how to make him "normal" and gregarious, only silence and occasional outbursts. But giving Madge money when he went out to play with his "friends", even hiring a helper, didn't get him involved in farm work very much, nor did he do any threatening behavior or other threatening behavior when he was angry. But March was hurt, and he saw at a glance that something was wrong. The last hug is a kind of reconciliation. I can't understand you, and I have no way to change, but I still love you. I was angry one second, and I am willing to give you a chest for you to rely on the next second.
If this is a romance film, March and Perry are the routine of a boy's pure first love and an amorous bastard being captured in the end. Sensitive, inferior and sad, Ma Qi met his peers who had protected him. He played with him and listened to his thoughts without laughing and sarcasm. His heartbeat was quite logical. But this is not a pure romance, so Perry was scared, and he probably realized that he was attracted to March before they kissed. He couldn't believe that he actually liked March, so he deliberately humiliated him verbally, as if he could get rid of himself. But when the other bastards bullied Madge, looking into Madge's tearful and pleading eyes, she still wanted to let him go. But March was annoyed. He thought Perry understood how he missed his mother and his mocking behavior. He didn't understand why he was said to be weird, why he was always bullied, and why Perry called him gay in public. It's not that he doesn't understand, but he simply misses his mother and is self-enclosed. When he bit off the chicken's head, he cut off his cowardly self and cut off his love for Perry. In the end, real life couldn't tolerate the existence of people like him, so he had to change painfully.
After reading it, there is no gloomy discomfort. The ending is within an acceptable range. The child will always grow up, although the process is not beautiful. People can't help but think that in real life, there are not a few people who are timid, ignorant, and live in their own world. And they are usually bullied. Although it is always said to be tolerant, it is still difficult to truly treat such people equally, and ignoring them is considered a conscientious behavior. But after watching the whole film, they also need love and understanding, and even more humble because of the difficulty in obtaining them. They feel a little sad in their hearts, and ignoring them is also a kind of harm to them.
