It is said that "Arbre" is the most beautiful French word. The name and plot of this film revolve around this tree: a
touch of style, a touch of scenery, and a little bit of penetration. A happy family of four children, whose father's unexpected death casts uncontrollable grief on them. The wife's performance is more like a kind of despair - losing her temper for no reason, falling asleep or crying, which is actually a real emotion, not just a deliberate expression of the movie. We always say that "daughters are mother's sweet little padded jacket". In this movie, the only daughter, Simon, didn't show much sadness when her favorite father just passed away. She told her best friend that "people can choose to be happy or sad, and she chooses to be happy", so she found her father in the tree next to the house and shared the secret with her mother. Because of her sustenance, my mother gradually began to run away from the shadow of sadness.
Although there is a saying that the six realms of reincarnation are reincarnated in three lifetimes, no one would believe that people will reincarnate into a tree. When Simon told his good friend, of course the little girl didn't believe it. She believed that people could become animals, but she didn't believe that they could become plants. In fact, it is really interesting to think about it. Among the six realms, there are gods, humans, asuras, animals, hungry ghosts, and hell. Why are there no plants? Maybe I have the same idea with Simon.
Mom's name is nice, "Dawn", Dawn. It's a metaphor, implying that she will eventually come out of her dark sorrow and find hope. So, she had a relationship before Christmas, only to be strongly opposed by her daughter. In this section, it seems that the daughter makes her mother happy, but she is still immersed in the pain of losing her father. I have never seen Christmas spent in the cool seaside in the movies, with the gentle sea breeze blowing, skirts, shorts, Christmas without snowflakes but not lacking in warmth.
Returning from a vacation, the branches of the tree surrounded the house, and not only that, but the roots had made the house almost uninhabitable. The mother and her boyfriend were going to saw off the tree, but the threat of her daughter climbing to the top made the mother give up, including her relationship.
Originally thought that Dad would accompany them forever with the tree, but the hurricane's attack brought a turning point. Even during the storm, the daughter did not forget to take the watch Dad gave him from the tree. After all, the tree was gone, uprooted, and Mom drove out of the broken house, packed simple things and hit the road. What will happen in the future, I met my ex-boyfriend on the way and asked, "who knows" she replied. The children slept soundly in the car, and she smiled calmly.
The film shows the sadness and nostalgia of the children from many details, the independence of the eldest son, the second son spreading soil around the tree, and the younger son not speaking until the first sentence is spoken, all of which are children's nostalgia for their father. In the end, maybe all the sadness will eventually pass, and life will continue to have a dull start. I remember a sentence from a father in another movie: When my father is at his age, he will forget a lot of things. First of all, he will forget the things he learned in school. In particular, the things that I remembered when I was in the process of grinding the gun would be forgotten. Sooner or later, even the teacher's name, except for 1 or 2, would be forgotten, and then even the names of the two would be forgotten. The school schedule, my actions, my friend's birthday, I've listened to hundreds of songs and forgot all the lyrics, and then slowly, slowly, humiliating, and really hurting things all become weak, even my whole life thought Unforgettable things are slowly lost. Stylish people, stupid people, pretty girls, smart girls, who went to a certain college, who had the best party, forget all that stuff. Even the person who said I love you, the person who really loves you, is the one who can't be forgotten in the end. But, it is precisely because the pain like that fades away that you can forget it, and then you can fall in love with someone again. "
