This black family is typical. Father, mother, and child, the compromise and balance of the three forces formed this seemingly swaying but quite stable family.
That tyrannical father was soft inside but ashamed to express.
He has been honed by life so that he can only shoulder the responsibility, live as a blue dog, and try to protect the family with a fence. This is actually the meaning of life he is looking for.
The chatty nature does sacrifice drama, but the reason why the director insists on doing so is probably that such a father is the most real, and he is always disliked by others.
Tyrant + chatter, under this overly strong appearance, people unconsciously pay attention to the other side of him, the soft side.
And the fate of the characters in the background also hints at the future of the family. The difference is that the eldest son, Lions, did not change his dream, but the second son Cory, like his father, joined the army with bad luck and threw his life into the mire of the Vietnam War. A dream, but a hope.
Probably nothing is perfect, what our parents taught us is to accept imperfection.

Father is the light of dawn, and no matter how he is disliked by others, it also illuminates them.
Today happens to be Father's Day, so I gave my family a call, said hello, and cheered for myself floating outside.
