When I first saw the movie poster of "Tony Erdman", it was a bit puzzling. I couldn't see what animal the heroine was holding. Those who have seen the movie know that the scene is likely to hit the tears of many people. This is a polarized film, and while it won awards internationally, there are also audiences who gave it one star, in the comments of these people, I see the key words of class consciousness, neo-colonialism, which I do not understand so profoundly Level, not everyone needs a professional background to go to the movies, this is a story about a father and a daughter.
This father is lonely, diluting the dullness of life with mischief. As soon as the film came up, the courier delivered him something, which was an opening to show his unique character. This is how he communicates with the people around him, so in the eyes of his daughter, he is also an unattractive old urchin. When the only dog accompanying her father died, the old urchin started to revolve around her daughter.
The relationship between parents and children is very delicate. Anyone can see the disgust of the daughter. Just like your own life, you are forced to return to your parents. If the time is short, there will be fewer words, and conflicts can be avoided. If the time is long, there will be more talk and more things, and the collision of values cannot be avoided. We can see the daughter crying on the balcony when the father is about to leave for the first time.
But this was not over yet. When the father appeared again, he wore a wig and changed his name, which is the title of the movie Tony Erdman. The daughter acted with him this time, but did not say that it was her father. In front of some people, the father became the German ambassador, and the daughter became his secretary; the daughter took her father to the construction site as a working partner. Anyway, the two of them were having fun. Of course, the daughter is very angry. She didn't know when to end this boring way of getting along. But in my father, it is to break boredom in this way.
The daughter's suppressed emotions were later released through singing, with a loud voice and full of emotions, as if she was interpreting her own life. It was the father visiting someone else's house with his daughter under the false identity of the German ambassador. On a whim, my father wanted to sing for everyone with the "secretary". This may seem like the father has gone too far, but when he talks about the piano and the daughter sings, the audience knows it's a very harmonious combination. Many people may be disgusted with this old man at first, but when you see this, you find that, like your daughter, the joy of life is overwhelmed by the pressure of work and other trivial things in life.
This also paved the way for the daughter's "extraordinary" behavior at the end. The rhythm of the film is like this: alienated from my father, disgusted with my father - acted with my father, tried to communicate - failed to communicate, but I changed myself. Extraordinarily, it means that colleagues and friends are invited to her daughter's birthday party, but they have to meet naked, so few people come. The daughter seems to be possessed by her father's character. What's more interesting is that the father can still do unexpected things, which is better than the daughter. Only then did I know that the "monster" on the movie poster was a doll played by my father. The father escapes from the apartment, the daughter catches up and hugs, and at this moment they reconcile, or at a more level the daughter understands the father's behavior.
In fact, the father is not entirely to give and stimulate the daughter to change, it is best not to rationally think that the father has a definite purpose. He is that kind of person. When he came up with all kinds of strange ideas, he was trying his best to get rid of his loneliness. The film does not end at the point of understanding just now, and there is a perfect ending at the end, that is, the daughter, who was serious and hated her father's mischief, also took her father's dentures and hat to tease her father. At that moment, maybe you also want to do something extraordinary, it doesn't need to be big, as long as it makes you feel happy.
