Mother and father want to build an ideal country in their minds, so that children can grow into philosophical saints, so that children can appreciate the value of life from an early age. This can be seen from the comparison with their cousins. The cousins live in a modern society with abundant material life. They have no sense of scarcity in their own lives, but instead breed a lot of dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction is also vented to their parents, study On; let alone on the understanding of the meaning of the team's life. In contrast, your own children are learned from an early age and understand love, family, life, conflict, death, and other things that ordinary adults can't handle.
Contradictions of
mothers : mothers are elites who have grown up in modern society, with high-quality life, higher education, and legal elites. At the same time, there is an infinite pursuit of life in the ideal country. After the child's father is strong, he has taken the step to realize the ideal. But the realization of this ideal comes at a price. Beyond her original social cognition and education methods, and the doubts from her original family members made her conflict. On the one hand, she did not want her children to grow up into an ignorant generation in an unhealthy social environment, but she was also worried about her ideals. Congress makes children an extreme, socially alien population.
Mother's death: The
mother began to feel anxious and disturbed in many ways and suffered from some mental problems. At this time, the father felt that he was unable to persuade him through words and spirit, so he chose to let the mother receive modern medical treatment, but the treatment method of modern medicine is nothing but psychological. Doctors and drugs, in the case of modern social values and drug side effects destroying the mind and body, the mother finally gave up the struggle and chose to accept her own life.
Father's original state of mind:
After learning that his mother had deteriorated after receiving modern medical treatment, he deeply blamed himself, but at the same time, he hated modern society even more. He advocates his own extreme education in the ideal country, and leads his children to exercise, study, hunt and sing in the primitive deep forest. Until I received the news that my mother was going to be buried, and my mother believed in Buddhism, her last wish was to be cremated, and the ashes would be washed away by the sewers in the most prosperous place, so as to realize the cycle of nature. Out of hatred for the modern society and self-blame for the mother, the father took the children into the modern society and carried out the task of saving the mother's last wish.
Painful transformation of the father:
The transformation of fathers also begins with the transformation of children. Children meet new people and new things in social life. They have never even heard of Nike sneakers. Seeing himself, he is under the temptation of modern society (the eldest son received the temptation from the girl and a letter from the university, and the second son was tempted to return to his grandfather's house to avenge his father's death, which caused his mother's death...). But it is the father who bears more, because people's duties and strange voices are directed at him, and violence and laws will be used to drive him away. His stubbornness does not easily yield. Until he saw that his stubbornness caused his daughter to be seriously injured and died, he also began to doubt whether the modern society is not so bad, at least it can give children a healthy and safe life without being pointed at by others. So he chose to leave alone, and he didn't want to let the children suffer with him. He wanted to pay his own responsibilities for the children's future.
The transformation of the
father : the father left alone to bear his own pain and tears, and the back of the children left behind, a bit like he abandoned his mother at the beginning, and let the child's mother go to the modern society for treatment. Unexpectedly, the children followed him in front of him, and when he was about to give up his own home, the home came back to him. He once again understood that the family is the most important thing. What they should do when encountering a problem should not be to escape, but to face him and find a way to solve the problem. First of all, they must fulfill their last wish for the mother who is a family member and save the corpse. , cremation farewell, and finally wash away the ashes. Then there is a way to let the children not have to suffer and let them choose their own way of life, so the eldest son chooses to go to the real society to experience learning by himself as an adult, and the father and other children do not have to take the most extreme way to go to the primitive forest, they choose It restores the intermediate state between primitive and modern-farm, and restores the way of life of modern people. They can go to the real world at any time, and there are also their own practices there.
Viewer's perception:
People's cultivation is necessary, but there are many ways of cultivation. You don't have to choose the most extreme and the most expensive one. As long as you practice sincerely and keep improving yourself, it's fine. My father sighed at the end of the film, like When he asked how he only knew this way of life now, he seemed to say that it was all so easy, which shows that the way of practice is actually a problem that has always troubled his father.
(In my understanding, it's all for entertainment!)
