How soft can a man's heart be?

1. The motives of the son are not the focus of the discussion. If you insist on discussing, you can pay attention to the following points
1.1 The son's music enlightener is the father (the photo of the son playing guitar with his father when he was young is still preserved in the son's room), so the son's reaction may be against the father's betrayal of their common preferences
1.2 When Dad went to the Quentin store to look for him, he said: The last thing he wants to do is to ruin another young man's life... Apparently Dad realizes that his son is rebelling against his extreme behavior.
1.3 Every work created by his son It makes sense for a song to point the target at Dad, such as Home, Real Friends, Over Your Shoulder, Stay with You, Sing Along. Status
1.4 However, it is still too extreme to kill innocent lives for these reasons, so the director has no intention to explore why. I think the director is just standing in the role of a father (playing the old drama bone of the hotel owner) and wants to express: "My son is a murderer, but he is still my son!"...... This is also how I am. Father's Experience

2. I don't even think this is a movie about the redemption of a murderer's father. In the end, what was the father's mentality, the director still didn't give an answer...
2.1 In the scene in front of the son's grave, the mother's attitude was portrayed as a reasonable mentality and practice that the general society would agree with... But we will do this, in the end Is it to conform to societal expectations, or do we really feel like it should be done. If the object of reference is a child born and raised by oneself, the difference in mentality (should I stand on the side of social approval to jointly reject the killing of innocents, or... accompany the child to hell?) should be extremely huge. To the extent that parents who love their children have no choice but to escape... Maybe this is what the director wants to say
2.2 Dad may be a bit arrogant and unconscious, so he just did some things, but he didn't realize it until someone reminded him or he had an epiphany by coincidence. There are 2 places that are arranged in this way.... After being reminded by the owner of the musical instrument store, Dad realized that he was really good to Quentin. He was treating him like a son, compensating.... Finally, he asked for it in the Quentin store. When persuading Q not to give up the music, he said: "Quitter never win." Is that all you can say when you are choked by Q? Dad thought and said again and again, yes, I can only say Quitter never win. At this time, Dad thought about his attitude towards his son. He was actually playing quitter, so his emotions could not be placed.
2.3 Sing Along is followed by The father's addition is completed. This is a very excellent and ingenious arrangement. It allows the father and son to have a dialogue in the music, gives the father the opportunity to respond to the son, and gives the father the opportunity to precipitate his emotions. This song is actually the biggest clue of the play. & Final Summary

3. The theme song "Sing Along" has clues to the plot
3.1 According to the plot of the movie, the lyrics of the first few sentences are the original works of the son except the last "So stop staring. Tread Carefully."
...Video 1:10: At 21, it can be clearly seen that the son's writing notebook only writes "Stop Staring.", but at 49:30 of the video, the father listens to the recording of this song for the first time, and the son's normal creation is to "What I say is a lie" .", and then broke out two foul language due to being interrupted by classmates: "Should I be drinking. Stop fucking sining." So Dad took off the last two sentences and took over from "So stop staring" to complete the creation...
In this case, the first 6 sentences can be understood as the feeling that the son is trapped and does not know how to solve himself and feels that he has nowhere to escape. Therefore, the first two sentences, using "your", are the son's accusation against the creator, and you are used to refer to the creator who created this cage. This explanation seems reasonable, but it can't continue why Dad connected with "So stop staring. Tread Carefully."...Maybe Dad wants his son to stop staring and tread carefully?
(Dad's sequel has the same song, one is to help his son complete the unfinished song, and the other is to respond to his son through music)

3.2 "Close your eyes and count to ten. Close your eyes and count to ten.
Maybe love's the only answer. Maybe love and care between people will be the only answer"
.....I think this is a game that dads and sons used to play when they were young (it's a tacit understanding between parents and children), so There will be the following sentence, I hope my son will recall the love between parents and children

3.3 The first time I sing "I will find a way to sing your song. I will find a way to sing your song.
" I will find your way for the second time to sing your song. I will find your way to sing your song"
is a promise from a father to his son, except to be able to accompany his son (find a way to sing your song), and finally hope to be able to fully understand his son (find your way to sing your song)

3.4 "What is lost can't be replaced.
What is gone is not forgotten. What is gone is not forgotten"
...Although my father relived the happy time of playing music with his son from his relationship with Quentin, he unconsciously empathized with Quentin (the owner of the musical instrument store thought that his father was really good to Q, so he realized it was true. So), he regards Quentin as his son, so he helps Q with the horses, takes Q to add clothes, and buys expensive musical instruments for Q. But this is only a compensation hidden deep in my heart, what is lost can't be replaced, and finally I realize what is gone is not forgotten.

3.5 "I wish you were here to sing along Sing with me
"My son, my son"
If you can make a wish, I hope you can sing together again like the happy time when my son was playing music together when he was young
