And Zane, who is tall at the shoulders of an adult, is the eldest brother like a father at the age of 12: dragging his younger siblings to sell vegetable juice, delivering gas cans for others to earn money to subsidize the family, and bargaining with hawkers to buy necessary household necessities... If It wasn't because his younger sister, who had just started menarche, was sold by his parents to a man who didn't know the details to be his wife. Zane may have gradually become his father. Although he didn't have the money in his pocket to marry a wife and have children to support a family, he still wanted to marry a wife. Have children, and there is no end to life, one, two, three...
The film "Why Home" has a good reputation, and under the suppression of "Avengers 4", the box office results are very good. So, what did "Why Home" win the audience?
story? The easter egg given after the film tells us that the little actor who plays Zane is called Zane. The plot of the film partly adopts the real life of this little refugee from Syria to Lebanon. That is to say, the director of the film, Nadine Labaki created "Why Home?" based on Zane's real life and what she saw in a refugee camp in Lebanon So, what exactly does the female choreographer want to say? Accusing the ignorant man of the mistake that killed Zane's sister? The film doesn't tell us what kind of punishment the man received; is it a denunciation of the child dealer who was stabbed by Zane? In the court where Zane sued his parents, even the man who complained did not seem to be punished; is it to blame Zane's parents for irresponsible and unrestrained child-rearing? The film also did not tell the audience whether Zane's parents, who were deeply aggrieved, were aware of their problems and whether they were forgiven by Zane. A story without an ending, or a story?
All in all, I think the movie "What's Home?" is an understatement by Nadine Labaki who doesn't know what to do. The film does not directly tell the audience what kind of disaster the Syrian war has brought to the Syrian people, nor does the film tell the audience how the Syrian people have lived through hardships and become refugees in Lebanon, but what happened after Zane ran away from home. The ordeal and the greater ordeal that comes after encountering a mother and son who are living illegally in order to win the audience's sympathy for Zane and hatred for Zane's parents.
But who or what made Zane's parents look like they did in the movie? Needless to say, war and poverty. "Why Home" should focus on the politicians who made Syria a battlefield and impoverished Zane's parents, rather than blaming Zane's parents who were struggling with poverty.
Perhaps, war and poverty are the unbearable weight of Nadine Labaki, who advocates art, or, in Nadine Labaki's view, the topic of war and poverty has no eternity. As time goes by, Lebanon will no longer be a country where refugees gather, and Syria will regain the prosperity and tranquility it once had. However, what kind of men and women are qualified parents is a theme that will never go out of style, no ? Okay, then let's follow this eternal topic and explore the meaning of watching the movie "Why Home" now.
Presumably, all Chinese parents who can sit in the movie theater and watch "Why Home" will be very proud, because they have the ability to make their children worry-free, that is to say, they feel that they have given their children a warm feeling. s home. So, is this the truth? If it were against Zane's parents, this was indeed the truth. But if we add richer content to the word "home", that is, to accompany the children to grow up with them in addition to eating and clothing, Chinese parents can proudly claim that they have the ability to give their children a warm home?
If it is said that accompanying a child's growth is a soft indicator that is difficult to quantify, keeping the child by your side should be an item that can be assessed. The reason why I care so much about "always be by my child's side" is because I was sent to my grandmother by my parents 8 months after I was born, and I didn't return to my parents until it was time for elementary school. When I returned to my parents when I was young, I found that I could no longer integrate into the family of origin. Therefore, conflicts with my parents, especially my mother, became the main content of my growing up process. My mother's relationship has been irreparable. Until now, she is old and I have reached the end of middle age, but I still can't help her to cross the road. Is this kind of mother-daughter relationship enough to make people sigh? However, since the country opened the two-child policy, many have hurriedly enjoyed the dividends of the national policy without having time to adjust their ability to have a second child. As a result, many parents found that they were no longer young after the baby came. They can no longer take care of their children and insist on going to work like they did when they gave birth to their first child. In desperation, they had to send the little baby back to their hometown and ask their parents to help them take care of them. Look, how long has the two-child policy been opened? Like my childhood, I left my parents early.
After "Why Home" became a hot topic, the influence of the condition of the original family on the growth of children has once again become a hot topic. Nadine Labaki used extreme family circumstances to ask the world a question: Is a family with parents a home? Besides weeping tears of sympathy for Zane, should we also ask ourselves: When all the original families have disintegrated, what is home?
