The first time I saw it on CCTV6 when I was in the second grade of junior high school, I fell in love with this movie just from the preview. The music is also very strange and pleasant. A movie from 1981 made my 95-year-old lover intoxicated, and I specially collected his original soundtrack~
Any old stubbornness is actually cute. I like Norman's vitriol, that kind of casual sarcasm, and deliberately unflattering. As a road idiot, I can fully understand the scene of getting lost in the woods and getting lost. I have lost my way downstairs at home many times: You seem to have walked every road, but you just don’t know where you are and how to get out. ... that kind of embarrassment, strong self-esteem, but the feeling of needing help but hard to tell, I don't know why it makes me feel very much. In the end, I gritted my teeth and hit the wall and finally walked home, completely relaxed, my beloved wife is still at home, always caring and tolerant, that kind of heartfelt happiness, you can complain like a child, and your wife is still like coaxing a child. Coaxing you, I feel that no youth love drama can compare to the warmth and tenderness of this pair. This makes me extremely envious and even jealous, this kind of love that grows old is the most touching!
This movie had a big impact on me. A lot of people who seem to be annoying on the surface, I am more interested in communicating with them, and want to explore the really interesting points in their hearts. Like Norman, he is always sarcastic and stubborn, and has a deep grudge with his daughter, but when his life is on the line, the name that blurts out is his daughter. It's so arrogant and cute. People grow old and live as children, that's why he and Billy play so well. I can't help feeling soft towards the elderly. People finally return to their most naive state, and their physical skills gradually degrade. It's really like returning to a baby. That's why they need so much care and care from others... Fortunately, , the daughter finally resolved the conflict with him.
Outside the play, the same is true for the father and daughter. Henry Fonda resolutely divorced his second wife, and after marrying his new love, the ex-wife committed suicide by cutting her wrists in the bathroom. Big shadow and hurt, has always hated his own father. Henry has also not explained and asked for forgiveness too much, and let this hatred develop, probably to punish himself. It wasn't until decades later, when the film was filmed, that the two finally reunited. However, shortly after the filming of the film, Henry passed away, before he even had time to get the Oscar statuette he had been waiting for all his life. But at least, he waited until his daughter's tolerance. If the daughter can learn to understand her father earlier and resolve conflicts earlier, the father and daughter may have more beautiful memories, probably the daughter will be very sorry...
So I think, really, hatred is meaningless, misunderstandings should be resolved in time, and behind all quarrels there must be tenderness that both parties are unaware of. So I've never been able to hate anyone anymore, and I don't think it makes any sense at all. I always forgive him the moment he apologizes. Tolerance to others is actually tolerance to oneself. People will live a lot happier with less entanglement and friction in their life.
