In the afternoon, I lay on the bed in the dark for a while, got up to cook porridge, and went to Kewei to chat for a while. Sister Jia recommended one day and A better life, so I copied a better life from her, turned off the lights at night, and just Big screen looks.
The main line of the story is still the issue of immigration, which can be regarded as a script for an old man to talk about, but there are all the tear-jerking elements that should be there, and the music is accompanied by a good perspective, showing the conflicts and feelings between the immigrant father and son little by little. The beginning of the film is that a father who works hard every day has no time to take care of his son's daily life, while the vanity and dazedness of adolescence control the heart of the young man. The director has buried enough burdens here. The main line in the middle part tells that the truck, which symbolizes the future of the father and son, is stolen. In the process of looking for the stolen car, the son begins to understand his father. The director here has also put a lot of effort into it. His father is poor but trustworthy, and the image of anger but restraint is expressed through this process. Finally, the father stopped because of the son, and finally was evicted, which pushed the scene to a climax. The three episodes in the whole play are very expressive. The first one is when facing a car thief, the son turns his out-of-control anger into violence, while the father tries his best to prevent his son's violent behavior, sympathy and intense anger are intense Clashing within the characters, but the human side prevailed, and he didn't want his son to get into trouble, so he controlled himself. Then the father and son stole the car back in the black market parking lot. The father asked his son to bow his head and drove the car without hesitation to the pistol held up by the guard. Later, after the police car caught up with the car, the father chose to stop and arrest his son's safety. The love continues to accumulate. The last scene, the son's choice, gave up the call of the gang, and the two met for the last time in prison. This was the period of emotional explosion and the climax of the whole play. The silent father's love turned into murmuring words at this moment, and the father said His selfless love for his son, the son cried and asked his father to promise that he would come back to meet him. In the end, the son chose a quiet campus life, and the father was preparing to cross again at the Mexican border, giving birth to hope.
There are two other scenes that I like very much. My father is working on a coconut tree, looking at the beautiful street scene in the distance, as if a longing for a better life in the future has risen in my heart. Another is the father riding the foreman's car home and seeing people going surfing along the way, a woman jogging with a dog, a couple walking, and a crowd eating in a restaurant. The life of these ordinary people is the future he yearns for. People can't help but feel sad. The film allows us to examine our soul once again, what are we not satisfied with our own life, how many worries and sorrows do we still have, and what is the future we yearn for.
I accidentally gave a 5-star, heavy but meaningful movie, indulging in such emotions.
