Fuck his morals are not right

I like this movie, not only because of the moving music, but also because of the complexity of human nature revealed in it. It seems small and fresh, but it may be considered morally incorrect if you are not careful.

How should parents deal with things like their son is a murderer? Guilt, self-blame, find victims' families everywhere to kneel down and ask for forgiveness, or do some public welfare to make up for it? Or like Josh's girlfriend Kate, sad and dazed, and then turned to hate because of the troubles this incident brought to his life, hating him for ruining his life?

These are the two most common reactions. Only the former is considered to be morally correct, while the latter can only be kept in the bottom of my heart, suitable to be mentioned with a bit of wistfulness when recalling the past with others after years of "truly" letting go.

However, I have always doubted the former, because it is too morally correct... And now this movie tells me that a parent who loves his children deeply is like this: pain, nostalgia, even if you make such an order It's unbelievable that I still love you so much and I still miss you so much. I want something you left in this world to last as if you were alive. Happy birthday to you, what would it be like if you were still alive?

People are so selfish. The death of their child is certainly deplorable. But he is my child! My son! Even if I die, my child is also dead! Uncle keeps repeating my son my son, a word my expresses how much emotional helplessness.

After watching the movie, I was very afraid that the protagonist would suddenly "awaken", "let go of ego" and go to charity and seek self-redemption. Fortunately, everything was just fine, so let's use a song to commemorate my son in an open and honest way. Besides, what better way to convey this complex emotion than music? Knowing that it was a song written by a murderer, and knowing that it was a song in memory of a murderer, the audience still cried, and the audience still cried.

    I've been watching with Sam's son being a shooting victim, and the ending didn't surprise me a little, no wonder some of the plots were weird. The music is pretty good, but I still can't forgive and understand this son. The last song is My Song, not My Son, right? Is there a mistake in the translation?

    It's really good, the song is nice, but I feel that the most important thing is this theme. The angle of entry is really unique and novel. I've never seen it before, and it's quite deep when I think about it carefully, and the emotion is indeed real. Believable, tbh, I really don't know what caused josh, sam took the pain and acquiesced to other people's accusations, he was evading, but he didn't deny that he couldn't be forgiven, rationally speaking, josh is indeed unforgivable, but does it have to do with his parents, they are not the kind of philistine who have no bottom line in my opinion. Sam's pain of course also includes other people's, but he can be indifferent like others, that's too cold-blooded. Some of the most touching lines in it are very simple, but the emotion is sincere. Although this is a movie about feelings/love, it is very sad
