child, i love you. But I love you, and I can't tell you right now.

After watching "Return", I was deeply moved after almost two weeks.

No way, the reflex arc is so long.

I can't tell if it's good or bad; I feel that the death of my father at the end is a bit abrupt, well, in fact, I still think so. I looked through other people's film reviews in school, closed my eyes and thought for a while, and closed my eyes to rest in peace, but the more I thought about it, the more sad I became, so sad that I couldn't help myself.

What I want to talk about is the "father's love" shown in "Return", which is extremely profound, but extremely restrained. It is precisely because of its restraint that I was deeply moved; it is also because of its restraint that I failed to understand this movie for a while. From the perspective of God, we can understand the love of a father, but how can the two sons who are at the center of the vortex of events understand what their father has done to them? The younger son took a knife and said to his father, "But you are more hateful than others. I hate you. Don't try to hurt us. You are not a human being." The father said, "You are wrong." And even then, the father in the movie remains extremely restrained, all he says is "you're wrong".

Then there was the chase and the accidental fall of the father, and in the face of the critical crisis, the father could not continue to restrain his love for his son. But when the father clearly expressed his father's love, he was completely unable to get the approval of his son, and then he went to the end of his life in an accident. I don't know if he ever imagined that, over time, his two sons would understand what he had done to them, or, in fact, he didn't want to understand, as long as his two sons could never even pay the bill. The boy grows into a man of great power. At the end of the film, the father and son finally reconcile, but in a heartbreaking way, and the two children ultimately fail to bring back their father's body, only to find out that the father has treasured them and them for another twelve years.

There is a saying that goes like this: Like is presumptuous, but love is restraint. With all due respect, this is just an unknowingly rancid chicken soup. Of course love can be unbridled, turbulent, strong - and why is it no longer love when it is unbridled? It's just that fathers often become difficult to understand because of restraint, which is the sadness of being a father——

child, i love you.

But I love you, and I can't tell you right now.
