Patrick's every struggle seemed to be fruitless, whether it was getting rid of drugs or alcohol or trying to create a normal environment for his children.
Childhood shadows can indeed be like glue floating in the air, entangling people firmly and leaving a little space for movement, making people fantasize that they may be able to get out of this predicament. So at the end of the play, the back and the door make people want to cry even more.
In reality, however, the gecko in Dark Memories is going to climb back up the wall at every moment of out-of-control, no matter how strong the thirst for fresh air is when the decision is made to make a change this time. The lack of oxygen rushing out of the screen makes the confusion, loss of control, and nervousness all seem reasonable, showing how exemplary the wife's protection of her two children is.
Even if you can't create a completely harm-free environment for your child, that shouldn't be an excuse to ignore the impact of the current environment on your child, especially if an adult family member is alcoholic and out of control. This scene is so familiar that I can play a movie of my own in my head? The love-hate relationship is probably the most uncontrollable emotion.
The digression is that although the look and feel is bad, this drama completely rekindled my love for Benny, and I will probably love it for another three or five years :).
