After watching the first half hour, I deeply felt that it was so boring, the man cheated, the family conflicted, pretended to reconcile, and celebrated his father's birthday. But it started to be exciting when grandad took 3 kids to the beach. The dialogue with the children is where the real philosophy lies.
Everyone has their absurdity and incomprehensibility, but we just love them for who they are, so what's up with that, it doesn't matter.
The kids use their understanding and their perspective to see the grandad the way he wants sent to heaven. It was originally a sad thing, but the film did not describe it as heavy at all. Even in mourning grandad by the sea, there was no usual crying and many eulogy reminiscent of the past. That's what sets this film apart.
3 children are very brilliant, natural but skilled. Not lacking in naivety. They remember what they have learned by reading books and watching TV and connect them with their infinite imagination to make it life, but instead they become adults' teachers.
The reason why the score is not very high feels that some emotions are still lacking a little fire, and some contradictions seem to be resolved so far-fetched. ? And there are 2 close-up shots that I don't quite understand, one is the black ball and the other is the bottom of the car.
