After reading the name of the film, I thought it was a very happy and warm film, so the evaluation was quite high. Unfortunately I guessed wrong. . . Maybe it's better this way, just like football. Unknown and different can let the audience guess more and feel what the director wants to express.
After the death of his mother, his father, Frank, lived alone, optimistic but lonely by nature. After a family reunion failed because of his children's separate affairs, the father decided to travel by himself to see the lives of his proud children, despite his lung disease. The journey is the same as in reality, especially when traveling alone, it has special fun. The film also introduces Flack's previous job, a wire coating worker, from the very beginning of the trip.
First I went to New York to find my son David, but unfortunately I didn't see the artist, the artist was not at home. After a night of waiting, he started a new journey to see his daughter, Amy, in Chicago. It was a pity that Amy had to attend a business event the next day, and Frank stayed for only one night before heading to Denver, where another son, the great conductor Robert, was located. However, because the son was going to set off for a performance in Europe in the afternoon, the father set off again in the afternoon to Las Vegas, where the last daughter is located. The result can be imagined, the father set off home the next day.
It's a very strange trip through the east and west of the United States. I don't know if the director wants to tell us that these big cities and the professions of these sons are famous, or that they want to let the audience know more about these cities in the United States through these cities. Of course, these are just a small aspect of what the director wants to express. More importantly, the father wants to express his love for them by personally seeing the children who are working hard for their respective goals. The film quoted a lot of details to describe the appearance, but the essence was still clearly seen by the optimistic father, but he did not expose it in person, but asked a question: Are you happy? A simple sentence, but it reflects the endless love of a father for his children. It's a pity that the children's answers are very indifferent. . .
As a developed country, American movies have many excellent cultures, which are worthy of our study. For example, for the expression of emotions, they clearly tell their loved ones their love and their feelings for them. This is very useful for each other to increase the emotion, at least it is very simple and innocent, very understandable, and very willing to accept such words.
In the film, there are also several clips to emphasize on the wire, especially the painting of David at the end, which expresses a good meaning: the wire represents the father, and the wire is everywhere, which means that the father is forever. with you. As long as the children want, they can communicate with their father by picking up the phone.
From time to time in the film, the image of children is used to represent the current children, and even an illusory situation of a dinner party is used to explain why the father's arrival did not surprise the children, but saw the embarrassing living conditions of the children. Its meaning is self-evident. In my opinion, what the director wants to say is: in the eyes of parents, children will always be children, no matter what situation they are now, how they succeed or fail. people.
Are you happy? I am very happy. This is the answer everyone wants to ask and get. But the reality of life is sometimes cruel, and it often gives people a little bit of frustration. But remember: the family will never be degraded because of the diversity of life, the home is always open to its own children, it will always smile to welcome every child who needs warm care, welcome you home.
Maybe some people think that the name of Tianlun Tour is inappropriate, after all, the result of the trip is actually very bad. When I was writing this review, I had already wanted to write it, but at this moment, I suddenly realized that maybe I was wrong again!
These unhappiness suffered by the children may also be one of the paths to happiness. Although the father saw that the children's living conditions were not going well, he was still happy and acceptable. Because Frank is a worker, a father who deeply loves his children, a father who expects his children to achieve something, and an optimistic and happy person!
The family trip is not just about Frank's trip to meet the children, but also the happy life after that! There are many gaps between the process and the purpose, but we will all strive to make life a small process of these happy journeys. After all, the happiness journey is still very long. . .
Finally, let's end with the lines in the film:
1. It's not easy to face the truth
2. In this world, your family has their own life, and you should be proud of your children and their achievements
. . . Life is bland and bland. . . But the movie is good, good, good. . . . Feel it for yourself. . .
After reading other people's comments, I had to add this sentence: The actor who starred in the father is really superb, and when I watched it again, I always wanted to act like the real one. Although the expression is very simple, you can see that he is integrated into the story, and those who have seen it will definitely remember him!
I also found that the title of the film is everyone's FINE. It seems that the translation of the title is somewhat different. The English is actually the sentence I wrote above that fathers ask their children: Are you happy? Are you OK? This sentence seems to me to be the central sentence.
Children, how are you? I think this is a better story
