The film is based on Philip Roth's American Trilogy and American Pastoral. The American Trilogy is the work of American Jewish writer Philip Roth, including "American Pastoral" (1997), "I Married a Communist" (1998) and "The Filth of Humanity" (2000). The three novels are narrated from Zuckerman's perspective. Maintaining a certain coherence in theme, it depicts American life after the war and the impact of the war on generations of Americans. If one excludes the political chaos of anti-Vietnam War and discrimination and riots for freedom and equality in the 1970s, this film tells the story of a father who was a winner in life, but his teenage daughter's serious rebellious behavior. Tragedy on the street. I feel that being a parent is really not easy. In the face of the daughter's extreme behavior, the wife chooses to forget and start over, while the husband is forever indulged in the pain abyss of finding his daughter. Politics is an inescapable topic in any era, and no one's life can be separated from the background of his era. Some say they are the beat generation. After World War II, there were all kinds of decadences and impulses, and this shadow has not been completely cured to this day. After World War II, there was no large-scale world war, but to this day, small-scale wars have not stopped. We are still calling for equality, for human rights, for humanitarianism. Under the background of a specific era, it is difficult not to be brainwashed by the wind of the era. After all, our values are constructed in the framework of a specific era. I believe that many Americans are anti-war, but they are anti-war, anti-exploitation, and anti-inequalities in a violent way. Young people are always the main force in politics because they have dreams, because they are innocent, because they are stupid enough. The girl hated her happy family, perfect parents, and many people outside were suffering. So she was incited to do things and publicize her dissatisfaction with society. The daughter's adolescent rebellion can be said to be very extreme. The damage caused is also indescribable. Later, she chose to suffer alone. Perhaps after being raped, she began to think about whether she deserved what she deserved. She will always have a chance to start over, but unfortunately she does not want to be saved. Body and mind are broken. Poor father, lost his daughter and couldn't rest his eyes. If you put aside such a specific political background, this is just a story of a girl with very extreme rebellious behavior ruining a happy life. What's very interesting in the film is that when she has a happy family, she stutters, but gets better when she's down. This is actually a psychological problem. When she was young, she often liked to challenge teachers, and then she naturally accepted the spring breeze of reform, rebellious, and became more unscrupulous. The worst thing to say is that black people have been enslaved for hundreds of years and have been tortured for hundreds of years. They can be angry and can do things. You, a daughter of gold, have enough to eat. It is not so much that you want to change the world, it is better to say that because your parents are too good, they see small The ordinary self produces a serious inferiority complex and obstructive stuttering, which deepens this contrast. Girl commits terror for rebellion The son's behavior is just to make a sound, to make himself look great. When I grow up and experience more, I realize how ridiculous and humble I am. In the end, he punished himself in loneliness. For a person, mental health is the most terrifying thing. And the inferiority complex can be exaggerated like this. It's hard to see from the movie what the parents did wrong. Although I think that all children's psychological problems are ultimately the fault of their parents. Maybe it's just that Mom is so pretty and Dad loves Mom so much that she feels ignored. What is missing in childhood will spend the rest of your life making up for it. Adolescent crime is a long-term issue. Fortunately, I have grown up safe and sound. 2020-02-03 00:44 Warsaw
