When we blame, what are we afraid of?

It's been a while since I downloaded this movie. Maybe it's because I have a lot of confusion at this stage. I consciously learn and observe from the people around me and the movie, how to grow into a person, and what kind of life have I lived? I’ve watched a lot of women’s home theater movies, so sometimes I’m embarrassed to laugh at the market for women’s chicken soup like Mimon. Reflecting and trying to adjust ourselves to life is a tendency most of us have, it just depends on what you choose to drink What kind of soup, and how to drink it.

The movie itself did not report much expectations. Of course, the acting skills of the big devil are still online. This face with a slightly wide jaw is really charming. In contrast, the face of the female neighbor is much more stingy.

When I saw Bernadette and Beckham singing and crying in the car, when they talked about the "mediocre of life", I remembered "Kim Zhiying Born in 1982", the plight of women in different cultural backgrounds, but I know Western culture The plot direction under the value will definitely be different. As expected at the end, the heroine Jizhou finds herself, the family reunites at the scientific research station, and the polar scenery and Antarctic penguins are used as the background, adding a romantic atmosphere (a trick used in movies in recent years). So it's actually a slightly moving movie with a mediocre plot.

After waking up from a nap, smack and touch, the movie makes people move Xiaobei, what are the characteristics? In addition to being smart, talented, and caring as a daughter. Her greatest energy is courage and acceptance. The whole movie is narrated from the perspective of a child, Xiao Bei. The law of diminishing happiness at the beginning really pokes my heart. At that time, the mother she said was a woman who didn't know how to treasure happiness and was alert to all dangers. She was quite similar to my mother. It is the catalyst of Xiaobei that makes the parents meet in Antarctica, and the husband and wife quarrel until they are reunited in love.

Quarrel is an indispensable conflict in any story, and it also drives the development of the plot. It is no wonder that conflict is the core of all narrative literature (it feels like reading a novel).

In this film, Bernadette and her female neighbor have a heated argument over a landslide behind their house. The latter thinks the former is a geek and socially unsociable, while the former thinks the latter is a noisy bug. Bernadette had a conflict with her husband. The husband felt that she had a serious psychological problem and needed treatment. The latter refused to accept and chose to escape. Embarrassed, Bernadette fled to her female neighbor's house, and she was forgiven and helped by her neighbors. It can be seen that new conflicts sometimes resolve old conflicts indirectly, and it is not unreasonable for Eason Chan to sing "troubles will solve troubles".

Interestingly, this one indirectly conveys something behind the conflict in our relationships. The female neighbor felt that Bernadette was out of tune with the community and accused her of not being a qualified mother. The truth was that Beckham was independent and kind, and went to a private school that made her jealous. And her son laughed at her at school, took drugs, and failed to enter a private high school. The husband thinks Bernadette is ill and wants to send the young architectural genius to a mental hospital. In fact, he said, "I can't be dragged into the abyss by her", and said to his daughter, "We have our own lives, and she will come back naturally when she wants to join." Behind the rational ruthlessness, it is not scum.

It's cowardice. In Antarctica, he indirectly told his daughter that he was unemployed from Microsoft, which is why he said he couldn't be dragged into the abyss. Only a long-term partner with some kind of stress on his own would show this kind of breakaway and impatience when his wife's mental state was not good. I am deeply touched by this point. The important point is that I have been with my parents for a long time this holiday, and I have quarreled with each of them once. The reason behind the quarrel is actually because I have a different concept from theirs in some aspects, and I show a kind of anger after being powerless. , The underlying reason for the accusation is that a certain part of the insufficiency of oneself is exposed in the intimate relationship.

And Xiaobei is the end of this predicament. Regarding the escape of her mother and the alienation of her father, she said, "You don't know my mother." She went to the Internet to check her mother's past experiences, and immediately decided to go to Antarctica to reconcile with her mother, desperate to find mother's footsteps. There is no hesitation or judgment of gain or loss in this process. Such courage is quite normal between mother and daughter. I think my mother will also be the one who will do everything for me. But why can't her father do it? Although the family is reunited at the end, the love of the husband and wife is as ever. But the end of the movie gave a honey story, saying that Antarctic penguins do not have only one partner for life, and 20% of penguins in scientific research are not like this. Does the story imply anything? It's hard to interpret, it doesn't seem to be a romance movie. But the face of love in this film is a myth.

I also think of why the person you once liked separated and parted ways, probably because you were going to sink at a certain stage, and when you needed help, that person just didn't have the strength to hold your hand. It's not about character, it's just luck. If there is a little bit of courage like Beckham, the ending may be different. But for modern people, it's very difficult. You can't be as careless as getting to know your mother and going to her mother. Everyone walks a certain way before they meet, and the ups and downs of the road have long formed a certain part of TA Traits, advantages and disadvantages coexist, unless we go through together, otherwise we have to cultivate enough strength and mind to accept these.

Becoming a better version of yourself is a piece of chicken soup, but try to make yourself less likely to need outside help in order to fulfill your needs. I also hope to cultivate enough strength and courage not to walk away when your loved one reaches out~
