family members who cannot communicate

Grandma was the last of my grandparents to leave. My grandmother and I live at opposite ends of the city, and my relationship with my father's family is not very close. I only visit during the Spring Festival. There is only one New Year's Eve dinner in a year that I eat with my grandmother. Grandma left in March. I also went to my grandmother's place for the last Spring Festival. At that time, my grandmother could no longer get out of bed because of a fall. She sat crooked on the bed, facing the festive scene on TV, Dozing off from time to time. Before leaving, they gave me a red envelope, and I suddenly felt that this was the last one.

At my grandmother's funeral, I followed my father at the front of the queue. Walking out of the community, my father held a soil pot over his head, shouted "Mom, go home", and then smashed the soil pot to the ground. At that moment, I felt that my father was getting old, and in the queue facing the god of death, there was no one in front of my father to cover him.


In the house of their hometown in the north, the father and son both had red eyes in the final parting. It is that he has decided not to try to correct the other party from now on, and no longer ask the other party to understand himself. This decision was made from the infinite expectation of our father. We hope that my father will always understand us and tolerate us infinitely. This expectation will still germinate after hitting the south wall again and again, only the continuous maturity of self can Gradually learn to let the ego stop expecting others, even our loved ones. This maturity comes from years, and years bring not only wisdom, but also old age. Why does wisdom always come so late. I think that the choked sobbing, it is possible, it is possible that they also perceive that this is the last parting.

Of course, there are a lot of filters for Viggo. The screenwriter, director, and soundtrack are all written by him. My father went to the beach and let me play the background music. The corner of my mouth rose, and I wanted to download it and listen to it when I faced the computer. Granted, the father role is annoying and uncomfortable, but it's real enough.

How sad and helpless to be unable to communicate with my family.

    Viggo finally shows the ultimate tenderness in his own expression, which is particularly charming. A director's first story must be about himself, the farm at the turn of summer and autumn, the lake, the stream, the wild flowers and herds of wild ducks, the quirky father and the soft-spoken mother, V trying to put them all together. Record them and don't let these memories fade over time. Same-sex love, tolerance and reconciliation to his father may be his make up for his past regrets. The piano soundtrack depicts the color of memory. The man who composed the music sat in front of the piano with deep eyes, recalling his youth. To borrow a sentence from the long review, "My fking god Viggo Mortensen, you such a sensitive genius.". When "MUSIC BY VIGGO MORTENSEN" appeared at the end of this scene, there was timid applause from the audience, which was very cute.
