The restricted superman dad

Dear Dad.


(When I saw the title, I missed my dad terribly.)



American family dramas have almost become synonymous with warmth. Even the soap opera "Everybody Loves Raymond" is an excellent TV series full of warm feelings . The seemingly boring life, dialogue and the little humor contained in it represent the most primitive emotions of the American middle class. To be realistic, a show like "Everybody Loves Raymond" also has a pedagogical function - it teaches people to be good.



Let's continue to talk about "Daddy".



Dan is a "family expert", he is engaged in writing, and on the surface he is very knowledgeable about family education and family problems - in fact, he seems to have done so, with good results, good social impact, very popular with readers, and published several books The book; ironically, ineffective, and basically unflattering to the family: brothers and sisters did not respect his efforts, let alone his sacrifice and existence, and even the three daughters of his closest relatives did not educate him at all Welcome. Cold-eyed, cold-spoken and sarcastic...



He knows how to sacrifice himself to help others, try his best to do more for the family, and take the family as the ultimate goal every step of the way. However, other people don't know how to be grateful, so it backfires after all - too much neglect of the younger daughter's ability to take care of herself, often embarrassing her, she ignores him; she simply ignores the germination of the second daughter's love, just blindly As a lustful urge that makes her miserable, she hates him; disrespects the ability of the eldest daughter, thinks that the child is always a child, defines her as incompetent when she is not proficient, and he blames her... to the big family The members also have no sense of existence. Every family gathering, he lives in the laundry room with the "VIP room", and they ignore him together... All of the above have become his depressed middle-aged Pandora.



If he hadn't met Marie in a bookstore by accident, maybe his life would have stopped at this point.



The clear tune, the unpleasantness that made people gloomy faded. The scene is arranged in autumn, with red leaves everywhere, the breeze blowing on the face, the drizzle, and the world is very clean. Such as the smile of the heroine Binoche.



Yes, very clean. Let people see that there is a desire to pour out their hearts and minds with her. She's lively, sexy (not sexy in the traditional sense), wise, and empathetic. Otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted Dan to her incessantly and deeply infatuated. Unlike his brother Mitch's outgoing, lively and "superficial", Dan is restrained, deep and erudite. Before he officially introduced his new girlfriend through Mitch, he met the angelic Marie, and a bolt from the blue was that when the widowed Dan wanted to share his heartbeat with his family, Marie, who had previously talked to him very much, Anne's gesture appeared in front of him and his family. Heartbroken, heartbroken.



Geometrically, a straight line is the shortest distance between two points, but in many cases a curve is the best or most useful distance. Lovers eventually get married, but the premise is that there is a lot of tossing. Fate is a thing, no matter how bright your eyes are, it is difficult to see clearly, and as soon as you get discouraged, you will be abandoned immediately. Dan and Marie tried to seek rational help several times under the constraints of ethics, but emotionally they couldn't. The two finally broke through the barriers and huddled together - but in a panic, they stood in the spotlight when they were not yet enjoying themselves, and what was even more terrifying was facing a group of relatives who were stunned and full of blame.



At this time, Dad became a superhuman with all functions but no love. We are selfish.



Fortunately, movies, you can ignore the secular.



The article discusses factors such as family, middle-aged people, children's education, love, marriage, loyalty, ethics and so on. Or this discussion can only be called a record. The meaning of enlightenment in it can only be understood after you watch it, and you will smile knowingly.



The above is just my humble opinion, I hope you can correct and exchange.
