A misunderstanding caused by jealousy led to an emotional mismatch, and poured love into a son who was not related by blood. There were many who never failed (Fukuyama Masaharu). The biological son who does not understand etiquette. Everyone seems to be living in regret.
We live in a modern society where blood still legally trumps love, a son needs a real father, and a father needs a real son. Even if the law has never understood love, on major issues, only immediate family members can make decisions, which is the order of our society and a blind spot. Love is not everything.
Fortunately, the director has not yet agreed with this point. The film is concerned with the future of the child. The director is Hirokazu Koreeda who became a father, and the whole movie is filled with a strong caring atmosphere. But the film spreads out a series of gatherings decided by adults, which reminds me of Xixi's "Fatty Earth Town": Why does the child never speak? Can children choose their own parents? Therefore, the Japanese children in "Who Replaced My Father" are so repressed, their politeness and self-discipline actually grew out of a shadow from their parents: they must obey and understand. This is oriental society, like piece after piece of heavy lead, unknowingly pressing down on the child.
The father was also a child. So the movie is built on a big question mark. The fathers in the movie are actually hesitant, they are all crossing the river on the rocks, and feeding their sons with deep depression like many. Many are the most important characters in the movie. He is dissatisfied with his father's love for him. He has run away from home. His father never understands his inner world, and he never plays with him. He exchanged his efforts for a career he thought was noble, a rich material life, that he had succeeded, and that he must have grown up in the right way. But when his biological son, Liu Qing, ran away from home like himself, he understood that he would always live on a question mark. There is no absolute right way in the world. Emotions are like a fickle sea. Love is never a calm lake. , The emotional world is turbulent, and you must concentrate on it at any time, without rushing or delaying, a decision is enough to make people regret ─ ─ This is a depressing vortex.
In an increasingly complex society, the parent-child relationship becomes more and more complicated. In the movie, there is a clear yearning for the simple primitive town life. It's just that you, you, me, and me who live in the metropolis, warm love is like a big net, there are loopholes everywhere. I hope that people in the world can be like the ones in the movie, with meticulous parents and children who will always be considerate of their fathers.
