Family needs communication and balance

I still saw this movie a long time ago, but I always think of it from time to time, maybe because the plot in the movie is too real and it is very lifelike. Mr. Kramer neglected his wife Jiao Anna and his son Billy because he was always busy with work. Jiao Anna tried to communicate with Mr. Kramer, but Mr. Kramer was still immersed in his work. He ran away angrily. Jiao Anna didn’t want to live that kind of life, so she left her father and son. In fact, without any preparation, I think this approach is quite selfish. After all, her son is still so young and is still at an age that needs his mother’s care. . But she was also very helpless, because the two people really lacked communication, and she didn't want to endure it anymore.
It can be said that Mr. Kramer takes care of little Billy badly. At first he didn't know how to communicate with his son. What was more impressed was that Billy wanted to eat ice cream and he wanted to stop it, but he couldn't persuade his son well. The process of his first frying sidney can be said to be the scene of a horror film. This section shows Mr. Kramer’s bad housework to the fullest, and it is also very clear from his later making sitoast in a tacit understanding with Billy Fei. In contrast, in the process of taking care of his son, a person has really changed. He can find a balance between family and work, and he has also learned to communicate.
Although his father was able to take care of Billy later, Billy always missed his mother. Father's love could never replace his mother's soft and delicate love. But when the mother returned to Billy and passed the law or obtained Billy's custody, Billy was so reluctant to bear his father's family. This is that the child is the most hurt by the divorce. The ending is quite intriguing, Jiao Anna finally gave up to pick up Billy because of her love for her son, and the two couples looked at each other and smiled. In fact, if the couple can understand more in life and communicate well, this family will not become like this.
