The film is like the landscape of the Scottish Highlands, high and empty, like a faded landscape, with a howling wind, but not desolate. If I just read the beginning, I think maybe this is a long comedy tale about city kids going back to their grandparents in the countryside for a vacation, and the more I look back, the more I feel like there's more to it. No one really cares about the real needs of the elderly and children, adults are arguing endlessly, and it is no wonder that Jess habitually holds his breath until he faints in the dark. The part where Granddad actually died was a real shock. The eldest daughter ran back and tried to tell the adults that she was really sweating, but she was still young and made her own decision, just went back to the beach with granddad's favorite Scottish top. The next scene is mixed. The children stubbornly followed the Vikings' practice of paying homage to their dead relatives as granddad casually said. They put the granddad on the raft they had worked so hard to build, and poured gasoline. voyage. Seeing the tears rolling in here, self-righteous adults really don't know their stupidity when they think they're "good" to their children and their parents in the way they take for granted and are satisfied. Anyway, the departure of granddad made the whole family warm up, which can bring some comfort to people.
I always remember that when granddad took the children to the beach, the view of the sea and the sky that appeared on the screen with their eyes was a magnificent view that could not be seen in a bustling and modern city. People, who have evolved into urban animals, have gradually forgotten that they originally came from nature, and that they should return to nature and live with nature.
