It is a common thing for children to fight, and the fight at the beginning and end of the film makes the parents of the two families uneasy. Value differences, gender differences, and occupational differences all erupted in the quarrel, and with the help of alcohol, they were finally messed up, hoarse, savage, and unstoppable. As a result of the quarrel, the gentleness of the middle class, the value system of Western civilization, and the mutual respect between husband and wife were all thrown away, leaving only ugly, selfish, pitiful but real souls.
The four characters in the film have different personalities and occupations, so their performances are quite different, but they all have drama. Pennolope pays attention to universal values and humanitarianism, and thinks that his own children are victims, so he occupies the moral commanding heights. Micheal is a salesman, warm and cheerful, greeted with a smile, but also cynical, disapproving of his wife's values, but a small businessman's habit, cautious and self-righteous. Nancy is an investment businessman. She is beautiful and dignified, but she is easily agitated. She has long criticized her husband's words and deeds and disregarding her family, and what she dislikes is the host's behavior. Does the director spit when he spit out passion? Alan is a lawyer and has a big case at hand, so he kept calling during the whole process and didn't pay much attention to the child's affairs, which caused dissatisfaction among other people, especially his wife. Shot. Everyone has their own weaknesses because of their identity and personality. No matter how disguised they are, once they are hit, their true self will jump out, tear away the hypocrisy and politeness, and be led by the God of Killing and wish to resort to violence. . Even a calm and aloof lawyer can break down in an instant when something cherished is damaged.
The movie is adapted from a drama, and I believe that the drama is equally exciting, or even more exciting. Because movies have limitations after all, although a movie can be assisted by editing and soundtracking, it is limited by the lens. There are very few shots in this film, and each shot is as long as possible to ensure the continuity of the actors' performances, but after all, it cannot match the overall sense of the drama. On stage, everyone is acting all the time, and for a good actor, he/she is even the character himself during that time. When A speaks and moves, B, B, and D also cooperate with expressions and gestures, they are a whole. And the movie is not good. When the camera is facing A, the B and D outside the camera are in a free state. Even if the next shot is given to them, there will still be a feeling of separation. Although the film uses mirrors twice to make up for it, it is too limited after all.
