After watching many similar movies, the first thing that comes to my mind after watching this is Bruce Willie's "The Sixth Sense". But the story is different and the connotation is different.
Back to this film, the male protagonist was in a car accident that killed his wife and children due to drunk driving in the first marriage. Six years after the second marriage, although he had a beautiful wife and a good daughter, he often quarreled over trivial matters. Facing his daughter's battery and his own alcohol, he still chose the latter, which was a very difficult move at the gas station. This was a very disappointing move for the audience, and it also paved the way for recalling the cause of his ex-wife's death. The turning point of the story is that after the accident of his daughter, his brain has been blank for a long time, and there are echoes of his first wife and children being confirmed dead on the spot. At this time, the psychiatrist said that the brain cannot withstand the blow of reality and creates a fantasy process.
Almost all the details of the hospital make people believe in the male protagonist more, but I began to doubt the male protagonist from the time when the male protagonist had a long blank, until the real appearance of the dog confused me for a while, and I couldn't help but imagine that the male protagonist would be with "Confinement". The same open ending as "Island". In fact, the appearance of the dog is just a smoke bomb. In reality, the dog does appear, but the daughter falls directly to her death. It is this point of divergence that gives rise to the two stories. Because this blow gave the male protagonist a heavy blow, exceeding his limit, which led to the emergence of a spiritual fantasy of self-protection. Thinking about the painful experience of two marriages is really pitiful, enough to make a normal person collapse. But looking back, his two accidents were not unexpected!
The first drunk driving accident is a high probability event. The psychiatrist in the film described it as being drunk to the extent that he could not save his wife and children. Even if it is not that serious, drunk driving is unforgivable, and it is even more unforgivable to bring his wife and children!
The occurrence of the second accident was an accident that accumulated too much pain and made the male protagonist's irritability about trivial life. The accidental fuse was that the daughter's mirror could not be found (it was found in the daughter's pocket later). The mother touched the left pocket, and the careless father searched for the daughter's seat and couldn't find it. Instead, he knocked over the coke and made himself anxious and careless. The father put his daughter aside and complained to her daughter again and again. What if you turned the pocket first and found it directly? Wouldn't I have more time to take care of my daughter if I hadn't knocked over the Coke? But it just couldn't be found, it was knocked over. why? Is it an accident? No, just from the perspective of the family in the film, the wife is good-natured and the daughter is well-behaved. It seems that there is nothing to be dissatisfied with. But it is the trivial details that make the male protagonist impatient and even complain to his daughter. why? Are some men just impatient? It's possible, I think it's more likely that the male protagonist will move forward with a heavy load and bear a lot of pain that happened in the past, such as the pain of his dead wife.
It is very tiring to walk forward with a heavy load. Others think that it is no big deal. It will become a concern for him. The past things are always inadvertently recalled and regretted. Under such circumstances, will people live easily? Going back to the title, the male protagonist mentioned that his mother-in-law was dissatisfied with him and other details of life, which were enough to be unacceptable to the male protagonist. Does this confirm this?
Well, no more reading too much, but there are a few lessons to be learned from the grief in the movie. One is to fear life and avoid all dangerous actions (such as drunk driving, such as leaving ignorant children unattended). Second, patience can avoid unnecessary trouble (such as the daughter's right pocket). The third is to put down in order to better pick up. Triviality is an important part of life, but it should never be the reason for quarreling. Only by relaxing, taking a deep breath, forgetting the sad things in the past, and facing the future calmly and calmly, can we go further.
