Tragedy in middle age often starts with losing a job. Being polished rounder seems to be the only way to reconcile with reality.
The head of the general affairs section, who unexpectedly lost his job, found that he did not have any skills and could not find a satisfactory job. He could only bite the bullet and pretend to be busy commuting to get off work every day. It is ironic that he is good at dealing with interpersonal relationships but does not know how to effectively communicate with his wife and children. Faced with the cramped reality of unemployment, the father, who has lost his so-called decency and dignity, can only rely on violence to demonstrate his remaining authority at home. After being knocked down by his wife as a cleaner, he ran all the way and fell into the garbage heap, becoming a pile of garbage himself. Until he exchanged the unexpected wealth he had picked up, he made up his mind to return to the family.
As the wife of a full-time wife, she had already seen the scene of her husband receiving relief lunches in the park, but she couldn't break it. Inner depression, lack of identity, blurred identity, housewives often exist in the image of losing themselves in the process of devoting themselves to the family. A scene with a burglary is a classic. Rescue the souls of gangsters like a virgin. It's a pity that it's difficult to get through, it collapsed on the beach, and a desperate cry seemed to wash away itself and wash away the past. The sun is shining, and life has shown its brilliance again, and it is still necessary to return to the family.
The eldest son has been moving forward in confusion, looking for his own direction. The more things you need to prove, the more you lack. The eldest son has been proving growing up, defying patriarchy, idealism, and protecting the world. The last choice to join the army, in an attempt to prove his maturity by seeking external power, is actually stern, as if alluding to the Showa youth in the era of militarism. Have you ever been so confused? In the face of the cruelty of the war, he burst into tears, and he was still too naive. Until he finally woke up, he chose to stay in Iraq and continued to search for the ultimate answer.
Kenji, the younger brother of the family. Both unfulfilled talents and dreams of their own. Always fight reality in your own way. He tries to understand others, even if he is not accepted, but he is the one who works hard to put it into action, and the one who makes the audience see hope.
The best part is that after one night, the family of three is back home as if nothing had happened. Then cut to the scene of the piano competition, the piano sounded, everyone watched, and the movie ended with Kenji's piano music. At this moment, everything seems to be reconciled.
