In simple terms, this is the story of a man teaching a boy to be a man. Perspective, I don't care about how boys grow up, but this reminds me of an article by Goose Group "Women are Too Lack of Survival Education", probably the content is that women are regulated too romantically, ashamed to talk about ambition, interests, rights, ignore the laws of human society, and lose competitiveness and discourse power in society.
I agree with this article, especially after watching the movie. It seems that in growth movies, boys grow into men as the main theme. These movies also have a special term for "tough guy" movies. For example, this one, such as Jiang Wen's, is accompanied by violence in the process, but after careful consideration, the element of violence is only In part, or even a small part, violence is just one way of helping boys understand the rules in growth education.
In the movie "Return", the two sons are one big and one small, and the difference is 2 years old. The father treats them no differently. The law of power, the law of survival, the principle of purpose, the principle of punishment, and punctuality and rules are taught by words and deeds, serious and serious. treat.

It is worth mentioning that in the father's education there is no love, family, and in the short shot of non-family women, the father's sight also symbolizes it - buttocks, waist, long hair - which can be seen as arousing sexual desire. , conditions that induce reproductive behavior.
But in women's education, love is fascinating, and marriage is essential. To seize a man's heart, you must first seize the man's stomach, and a bad man will turn back for your prodigal son...
In addition to love, "the poor raise the child and the rich raise the daughter", "the daughter is to be the little princess", "the girl should be pampered", "the girl should not carry things" (here refers to the personal belongings within the scope of acceptance, it must be admitted The power gap between men and women)... These educational logics may be correct to some extent, but when these logics ignore social rules, confuse rewards and punishments, and become some kind of privilege attached to others, this is not a good thing, even It can be said that this logic is also brainwashing girls.
Writing here, I suddenly think of "Wrestling! "Dad", although the original intention of the character's growth is to replace men, there is a later growth story, but it is also the only film in my memory that can represent excellent female education.
