The beginning of the journey was already the situation when the father and son were on the road. At that time, the farewell that should have appeared before the departure was deliberately overshadowed. The film lacks too many of the usual transitions and turns, so it leaves more blanks.
If the 12 years my father left were the 12 years from the collapse of the Soviet Union until 2003, and if the mysterious majesty of my father's supremacy had been turned into a religious metaphor, then this minimalist debut is nothing short of a miracle.
I still have no ability to think independently, and I am unwilling to make any innuendo.
about growth. It's the one I've seen the most in this movie. The father's return without a sign was a light and a faint hope for Andre, and for the young Ivan, it was a pressure to resist. has been generated. If the father stayed here, his presence would indeed change the lives of the two children. And this father stayed for less than seven days, and died suddenly and bluntly. For the brothers, it was the whole process of growth that subverted.
After the scene of Ivan sitting alone in the rain, I think the biggest fear for him is being abandoned. For example, he who was left alone on the tower after the other children dispersed in the film, and who was driven out of the car by his father and was drenched in heavy rain, also curled up and shivered. The former faced his mother's consolation, and he confessed his fears, and the latter, when his father's car finally returned, he almost cried and shouted the reality of his dissatisfaction for several days, that his father's appearance was a mistake. Ivan, who pointed the knife to his father, was abandoned again after experiencing the slight warmth of his father's love. He was actually running alone, being chased by his father. He rushed to the top of the tower, threatening his father, and also proving himself to his father.
Until the father fell flatly.
Until that moment, Andre was always the supporting role of the younger brother who was slightly hostile to his father. He was brutally injured by his father while pushing the cart, but he completely regained his expectations of his father because of the next praise. Andre, who was looking at his father's icy corpse after he fell to the ground, suddenly returned to the role of the elder brother, and was even given the personality of his father.
In any case, this was not a growth in the usual sense, but the two children were instantly reclaimed their asylum rights and had no choice but to move forward.
Several scenes about the mother are doubts in the mind. She should be the only character who knows the truth about her father without revealing anything. Impressively, the two children asked their mother "where did he (father) come from", and the answer was only "back".
The mother's last appearance was with her eyes that didn't close before bed. It's like hiding too many secrets that you don't want to reveal.
Going back and talking about my father, I just want to say that the last moment sank. When Andre's "Dad" shouted out, I still couldn't react to the ending that I had already seen, so it would be another surprise shock, or better. This is the climax that my father didn't have time to fill before he fell, when he really disappeared and sank to the bottom of the sea.
The photo that was unfolded at the end was as cruel as confirming his father's death, as he couldn't wait to confirm the appearance of his father. The children's sane eyes tell us that this is a tragedy that ended in a cold way.
