This movie is really bad. Through a series of layer-by-layer advancements, it tells a story about how to live a better life.
The little boy Andrew's father opened a butcher's shop before the Spanish Civil War, when Franco and the republicans were supposed to be politically troubled. As a commoner, the father also chose the side under the bewitchment of his neighbor Dionis, betting that the Republican Party would come to power, but the Republican Party failed, and the father's butcher shop could not continue, so he had to follow Dionis back to his hometown to do bad things for the most conservative local landlord. The specific bad thing is that whether Franco, Republican or Catholic, all hate homosexuality, they castrated and expelled Pitor Riva, the gay man of the brother of the landlord Manubens. Then the bad thing in the second stage was that Dionis committed another crime to steal the landlord's brother's marriage certificate. After stealing, he threatened the landlord. The landlord hired his father to kill Dionis and his son. Perhaps, as the film critic said, the father did not find the children in the carriage from beginning to end. So it's a mistake to kill a child.
At this point in the case, it is already very clear that what Franco, what republicanism, and what freedom and democracy are all speculations by the people at the bottom to survive. Dad Fario was a speculator all along, and when the funeral couldn't go on, Mom went to the police chief to get angry, saying it was a witch hunt because he was a republican. The chief of police said he wished he was a republican, and now there is no republican. That means that if there are still republican conservatives fighting in the country, then Fario will not be like a wild dog who can't even get a prayer.
The truth that Dad Fario said before his execution was simply touching. The most terrible thing about war is not that people are displaced and have no food to eat, but that people lose their ideals.
The people of the strata have nothing, in fact, not even ideals, but in order to gain support, the forces in the dispute did not give the people bread, but gave them ideals, and then forced everyone to choose sides. As a result, not only do those who fail have no bread, but after losing their ideals, it is more terrifying than having nothing before, and they will do more degrading things for life than before. The personality will also split, while doing murder for the conspirators, and at the same time raising birds to instill ideals in the next generation. There is no ideal grandmother's family, but they have always been very self-consistent. If the enemy wants to adopt Andrew, then he will adopt it without any struggle.
When I think about it, the bureaucratic system of judges and police representatives in the film has always been quite neutral. The actor of the police captain is the tough stepfather in Pan's Labyrinth. He actually did nothing bad. This is how I understand sexual bribes in the office. At first, my mother wanted to sexually bribe the captain to let her husband go, but what the captain should support is to act with integrity. The landlord Manubens should have bought the shopkeepers as witnesses or something. The captain's condition is that if Fario is dead, you might as well remarry me. Mom didn't agree and left angrily.
Maybe when the widow Pauletta came to Andrew's house to explain everything, the mother finally knew the whole truth, but she could only understand her husband.
How to choose the fate of the little boy is indeed a difficult problem. Even if his parents are still alive, his future is either going to a factory or farming. I didn't have the option to go to France when I grew up. My little cousin who broke my hand didn't understand so much anymore. Anyone who said that they went to France died. Before they died, they were very miserable and disheartened. Grandma's eldest son, Fang Suo revolution Fail, blow up the bridge, commit suicide. The little boy's dad republican failed, sold his soul, and then was brutally abandoned. The death of his father was actually a sudden event with great energy, so big that it could become a big bargaining chip on Andrew's fate gambling table.
Having said that, I have to say that the so-called free choice of Christianity is really a very cruel thing. During the Spanish Civil War, a large number of men died, and the typical representatives left in the village were the orphans and widows of the Fario family. She is not committed to the teacher, grandma raised her, didn't she just find someone to exchange a dowry? The old girl's aunt is trapped in a place with no choice, unable to choose her own life. With the fat widower, disgusting. With the little police, there is no future, do you want to be a tailor for life?
Choose to be as completely black as the little cousin? The blackened life is not as simple as the two of them thought. If you bury your ideals, you can be a complete bad guy? Absolutely bad guy's lesson, Di Rios.
Every frame in the movie is not wasted. His father Fario told him that ideals are like wild birds that cannot be tamed. They must be kept in a cage made of straw, and they must be locked up and prevented from hitting themselves. bad yourself. Sunshine Boy said that you are suffering now because you are not flying high enough. what to do? It's an old saying, take advantage of the opportunity to draw nourishment from the old forces, throw yourself into a snare, live in a cage made of straw, and wait for the moment when your wings are full, and then spread your wings. The passage of delivering food is very good. The sunshine boy represents the ideal. The old forces are afraid of them. Killing can't be finished, and it will be contagious. They can only be confined. They don't give enough food and they have to do heavy work . Andrew's cousin said, what's the use of those people? Having never seen them carry a bag of potatoes, Andrew said: How can you have the strength to do heavy work without enough food to eat? At first, he gave black bread from his own house, and later the chocolates from the landlord also gave to Sunshine Boy? Sunshine Boys still eat the same? Even better food, use whatever nourishes the ideal.
So, the boy finally said that he agreed to be adopted, but it was not his father's will, but his own. I don't agree with the darkening future, what I agree with is that the boy figured it out, no matter which hand is delivering the food from outside the cage, even the devil's hand, before I'm young, I'll accept it, no matter what Only hand feeds me out of what will. This does not mean that I choose to be a weak and kind person just because I eat the food of the kind people, nor does it mean that I choose to be the devil because I eat the food of the devil. I am who I am, I can do whatever I want, fly higher, fly better.
The fall of ideals is too bad, ideals without any protection can be trampled on by anyone, and a little cousin with a broken hand can light birds at any time and watch them fly into the sky like fireballs and burn to ashes; You can twist your neck at will and bury it in the ground for sacrifice. It's all just for fun.
The seduced ideal, that is the destruction of Fario. Andrew's mother really loves that man very much. The quarrel and reconciliation scene is really the sweetest and warmest place in the whole movie. Even Andrew secretly shows a relieved smile in the dark. When a man and a woman are in love with each other When the whole world is filled with joy and well-being.
The movie is very memorable, thank you for having a great and determined leader who created such a safe place. If there is always one faction and one faction fighting back and forth, how many times the people around you will suffer.
