"15-year-old adopted son" is indeed a very warm movie. Although it is about adoption on the surface, in fact, the author believes that what the director wants to explain is something deeper: understanding, respect, and tolerance.
Only when you understand can you know how to respect, and only when you know how to respect can you learn to tolerate.
At the beginning of the film, the Nordic community scene is really the home that many people yearn for. There is also the party between the neighbors in the opening. In this party, the protagonist Gan is the first to appear. He is such a handsome and clean man. His introvertedness and gentleness also make the neighbors, including me, feel a long-lost sense of intimacy. But when he frankly spoke about his other half, his husband Sven, the unsure and hesitant expressions of the neighbors were at odds with their previous frankness, and embarrassment followed, even though they reluctantly The smiling faces were reluctantly resolved, but in their hearts, they still had a little prejudice.
In the following life, Gan and Sven got along harmoniously, seemingly happy, but they had a little bit of trouble in their hearts, not because the children openly jokingly called them glass, nor because of the discrimination behind the hypocrisy of the people in the community, Instead, they don't understand why people are always so hard to let go, but they also know that all this is human nature. In the face of all this, Gan will always respond with a gentle smile. This smile makes the person look heartbroken.
Life is always as dramatic as movies, and life in movies is no exception. Just because of one decimal point negligence, the welfare agency turned a 1.5-year-old baby into a 15-year-old rebellious teenager - Patrik. His appearance caused conflicts within the gay couple, and it also reflected the society's views on the problem youth. When they learned that the problem youth had a lot of previous records and committed all kinds of crimes, they also involuntarily brought up the social peculiarities. The pair of tinted glasses, at the same time the gentle Gan and the free and unruly Sven are also catalyzed by this troubled teenager to make the contradictions that are usually faint to become so obvious. Gan, who has been silently enduring, is finally gentle in Sven's repeated alcoholism. It broke out and sven left.
After that, in the shared life, under the influence of Gan, Patrik gradually put aside the idea of glass that he was afraid of before, and he began to slowly enter the world of Gan, and began to slowly understand the unknown that he had never touched before. At the same time, he also began to gradually take off the heavy armor that he had been carrying for more than ten years. When he saw the picture of the mother who was called a bitch, he was the most real scene in his heart, and the tears were the witness. . At that moment in our eyes he was a naked child without any labels on him. He also took off his armor in Gan's home, and slowly found his own value and the meaning of life in flowers and skateboards.
In fact, he has already relied on all of this, everything that he has not had in more than ten years, and his wish is actually very simple. When an ordinary family learned that he would be sent back to Rohn by the social worker, he felt a wave in his heart, He was reluctant to give up, but he had no right to have all of this. He tossed and turned, Gan watched and said nothing. He just silently applied for adoption the next day. He wanted to protect this fragile and troubled boy with a motherly love. An over-the-shoulder fall also proves all of this.
When they were going through the procedure, they learned from the social worker that there was an ordinary family willing to adopt Patrik. Gan and Patrik were silent on the bus. In fact, he and his heart were full of contradictions. One was the desire to have an ordinary family and the other was full of reluctance. Reluctance may be the biggest emotion in their hearts. But at this time, Gan may have made a choice, and Patrik was still struggling until he met sven on the way home. He, who never runs, actually lost weight by running. After a few words of greetings, the two still backtracked without result. chasing. Only Patrik can see it, he has already made a decision at this time, decided to leave and help Gan face everything bravely, and promote the reunion of the two of them. In fact, this part of them all interpret the common existence of couples in life. Problem, Gan prepares sven with pizza that he likes and which he used to think has no flavor, country music that sucks, and whiskey. But Gan's change seems to be a gift from Maggie, and Sven quits drinking. All hope is that if you still like pizza, sven loves it. Patrik left the house, but he didn't know he still needed a dog, so he had to come back because sven thought they were just about to buy a dog. Everything became so warm in the mutual understanding and tolerance of the three people, and the last three people looked at each other and smiled, melting everyone.
Just because of that little tenderness, people from two worlds finally exist in one world at the same time. In fact, there is no barrier in the world, just because there is a little less understanding, respect, and tolerance.
