I want to comment because I see a lot of comments that don't match the facts of the movie

Everyone has their own understanding, I think the film is about a mother with schizophrenia who suffers from schizophrenia trying to create a Platonic "Republic" style of life, and the hero is just to help his wife cure the disease Cooperate with her to do an isolated family life. At the beginning of the movie, it talks about how the father trains the children. Finally, the dialogue between the male protagonist and the children cremation of his wife finally reveals the true expression of the movie. In the play, the male protagonist's mother-in-law shows a letter from his wife to the male protagonist. It is also the finishing touch. "If you assume that there is no hope, then you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things. Then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world." The little boy's quotation of Noam Chomsky is perhaps the most perfect expression of the film.

Ben: [walking to picnic benches after shoplifting] Where else can we improve?
Bo: Flawed exit strategy. Everyone went out the same doors. No one utilized the loading dock area at all. If it got blocked, we'd all be trapped.
Ben: Mm-hmm.
Vespyr: Inadequately planned extraction point. We probably shouldn't have all gone directly to the bus.
Kielyr: Predetermined pickups would have been much less risky.
Ben: On the plus side, mission: Free the food accomplished.

Harper: Children don't drink wine.
Ben: In France and other countries, children drink small amounts of wine all the time. It's a digestive. It's not crack.
Nai: What's crack?
Ben: Crack is a crystallized, highly addictive derivative of the stimulant cocaine. In the mid-1980s, it accelerated the decimation of inner-city neighborhoods. Crackheads, some of them kids just like you guys, were killing each other over nothing, over their Nikes.
Nai: They killed each other for Nike? The Greek winged-goddess of victory?
