A wolf or a man.
In Yu and Xue's childhood, boys were timid and cowardly, while girls were brave and outgoing. But as they grow older, two people (let's call them people for now) have a clear choice of who they are.
This is also the most important point of being a thoughtful person. self-identity. This choice has nothing to do with others or close relatives and friends. It is just a competition with myself in the inner world, which is wonderful and cruel.
Therefore, I don't think that Yu resolutely set foot in the forest and decided to become a wolf was a disregard of his mother's love. On the contrary, this is what the movie wants to convey to us. Only you can decide who you are.
The contrast between when Xue was young and when she was a little older reflects another kind of growth. It is precisely because she was lively and naughty when she was a child that she had more contact with humans, so she longed for the warmth of the group and also had more humanity. Worry about your own smell, worry about the eyes of others. In the end, the little boy's words also played a decisive role in encouraging her. She is lucky. After all, after how many people bravely choose to be themselves, they are met with ridicule and rejection rather than encouragement and approval.
Finally, the mother's identification with her own identity is undoubtedly reflected in the process of raising children. I see a lot of people say that being a mother is just right. In fact, doesn't it reflect women's self-identity? Because I am not alone now, I have to fight, I have to work hard to survive. These were the cries she made without escaping reality.
Finally, because I read the English version, I have a little understanding, and there is a question, how do they get their living expenses...
Personal opinions, any similarities, are purely coincidental.
