Fatherhood and Fear

I almost missed this good movie because of the male lead. There are many movies about father-daughter relationships recently, and this Mexican film tells the story from another angle. Similar to other similar movies, first, a mother left irresponsibly, and the father gradually fell in love with this little life from the difficult acceptance at the beginning, and the ending was surprising, and it also revealed a profound life truth.
For the healthy growth of the child, the male protagonist writes a letter to the child pretending to be a mother every week so that the child will not stop loving his mother. Tell your kids that mom is going to save the world. Because of this, the children live happily, and at the same time, they are immersed in their own fairy tale world, which makes the teachers in the school very worried. I thought American education should allow this kind of thing to happen. In a country that encourages the free development of children's nature, such things should not be banned like this, but this is a Mexican film, and it can't be as pure American as it used to be. from a film perspective. The male protagonist has a love for life and an optimistic attitude. He loves his child, even dotes on her, and is willing to grow and play with her. Later, the child's mother asked for custody of the child, and the judge said: "The child's custody should be given to a person who is willing to jump from a ten-story building for her, and at the same time is willing to stop jumping from a ten-story building for her. Jump down."
In order to exercise his courage, the hero's father threw him from a cliff into the water when he was six years old and treated him in many harsh ways, which made him very hurt and created a rift between father and son. After having a daughter, he gradually understood his father's love, because fear can arise at any time in life, and he must learn to face him.

    Bitch is always bitch, I feel that the screenwriter should have suffered a lot from women (probably lesbian or something). Although the second half of the story is a bit cliché and even just like a Korean film, it should still be able to poke a lot of people. Life is short and things are impermanent. Living in the moment is the most important thing.
