At the end of the film, the "suffocation" party is undoubtedly a metaphor for and mockery of the children's "suffocated" life under the coercive interference of their parents, and the words shouted by the man who poured himself into the swimming pool after drunkenness pointed out the theme of the film.
In fact, the film covers not only teenagers who are "protected" by their parents but refuse to communicate, but should cover people of all ages who have such parents.
Although it's an old movie from the 1990s, I don't know if there are still older children from such native families in Europe and the United States. But looking at our country, there should be a lot of such children, teenagers, young people and even adults. The generation of parents interferes with your studies, work, romance and even marriage under the banner of "for your own good". It seems that they have nothing to understand, just because they are parents, just because they feel that their life experience is enough to make us less Taking detours, they don't realize that "children" have their own will and the life they pursue.
The suicide of the first 13-year-old girl did not wake up the parents in the film to care more about their children's inner world, and still planned everything for them in the way they thought "love". Then, the remaining 4 girls committed suicide one after another. Until the end, the mother in the film still thinks that she "gives all her love, but doesn't understand why they seek short-sightedness."
Sometimes parental love, to some extent, has something in common with love between lovers. Both need to care about each other, try to communicate and understand each other's inner thoughts, "do not do to others what you do not want to do to others", "do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself", each person is independent. The individual, no matter the film or many Chinese parents, always treat their children as children, no matter how old they are, they use their self-righteous "love" to protect their beloved young eagles. Maybe the way they protect the young eagles is a bit cruel. Just when they were about to spread their wings, they fell to the ground inadvertently and felt sorry for their parents, so I quickly hugged them tightly to tell them not to be reckless, and theoretically supported them:
"Don't worry, you can definitely fly. It's instinct. It's fine if you don't practice. We're here too, so can you."
"Hey, you want to fly before your wings are hardened? Why are you so stupid? How can you have a brain? Can't you let me worry about it? You can't teach you, and you don't listen. You all don't listen to such a simple thing. Can't do it? What's the use?"
…
Some of the young eagles took off and were dragged down after a while.
Finally, under the joint offensive of the parents, the wings of the young eagles that have not spread their wings may be snapped off.
Some took a lot of time to heal their wings, and they soared in the sky later than young eagles of the same age in the past;
And some, after a lifetime, the wings are still difficult to heal.
Death is scary, but compared to puppets at the mercy of others,
Death seems more like heaven.
