The protagonist, Walter Black, has inherited the family business: a famous listed toy company, with Meredith, the wife of a roller coaster designer, an eldest son Potter in high school, and a younger son Henry in kindergarten. His father died prematurely, "in an accident," as the mother at the dinner table told the toddler. It could very well have been a white lie, and of course it could have been an accident, but the word "accident" is neutral and it omits a lot of the plot.
The premature death of the father, the hysterical fear of the sensible eldest son, the sickness of disgusting his father, and their surname: Black = Black, as I understand it, Walter's disease is probably genetic, not anyone's fault.
Since it wasn't anyone's fault, Walter said on TV, "pretending to love my wife and hating my (eldest) son," was part of the reason he couldn't heal. When the TV program was broadcast, his wife and eldest son were watching. First of all, it is certain that the wife and the eldest son do not love him at all, but compared to his happiness and his life and death, the wife will give priority to the mental health of the youngest son, and the eldest son will also give priority to protecting himself. Although I was very annoyed when I watched the movie, seeing his wife and children leaving the terminally ill Walter and the eldest son ignoring his father and only shaking his head at him, I was very annoyed, but, think about it calmly, Meredith is fine, Potter Well, what they do is actually human nature. Just like Meredith said, "The two years you lay in bed and couldn't move, I fought for you for two years, I love you, and I will continue to fight for you", of course she loves him, but depression It is really like a black hole, just like the movie at the beginning, it is really terrible... (When I was depressed by my husband, I was thrown aside by my husband, and my friends took me in. Later, when I got divorced, he also said Sorry, but thinking about it now, a depressed wife is really unbearable. Of course, if it were me, I would not leave friends or relatives who would commit suicide at any time, nor would I forgive such friends and relatives .) Probably because of my experiences like that, I was annoyed by Meredith's seemingly contradictory and unconstructive behavior, thought she was unconsidered, stupid, stubborn, I wonder if the screenwriter is ill-considered...but maybe this is the kind of woman the movie wants to talk about, she did what she was capable of, and she was also angry, disappointed, and helpless, and the eldest son was doing it The gunman also smashed a hole in the wall (of course she didn't know this, she only knew that her son didn't want to eat with her), the younger son wanted a father, was unhappy, refused to speak, and was bullied at school... Maybe the rest of the job is a little more fulfilling. Her shoulders are also limited. What do you ask her to do...
The eldest son Potter's personality can be said to be very awkward and bad. He was dishonest at school, and he was not gentle to his mother, not to mention his father. He was like an enemy. His behavior towards his female classmate Nora can explain a very important thing, it can also explain his cruelty to his father, and it can also represent the cruelty of many, many, many ordinary people to depressed patients. Porter currently seems to be normal except for his nervousness, and he may be a particularly intelligent and capable kind of person. Before his father fell ill, he was also considered a rich second generation. In the future, he must be the one who wants his son to inherit his father's business. With his intelligence, he should have a smooth life. But his father was sick and he couldn't understand. As a depressed person myself, I really hate healthy people telling me, you have to work hard, work hard, work hard to change yourself, adapt to this society... Watch what Potter did to Nora in this movie. Obviously he likes Nora, he should have liked it long ago. But Nora has a psychological shadow that she can't face, that is, her brother or brother (he sounds like a brother to her tone at the graduation ceremony) died of a drug overdose. It’s okay to take drugs, if you overdose, it’s okay to overdose, and you die. The trusted favorite person whom she has always looked up to has left her forever in such a disgraceful way (and she is still a child, and her mind is still very fragile). Of course, Nora suffered a huge trauma. This kind of trauma is not something that ordinary people can overcome, and it is not surprising that the pain will last a lifetime. But how did Potter do it, Potter just took it out and said, without even an opening remark, he directly told him to rest in peace, told her to let go-what about this person's humanity?
This is what I really don't understand when ordinary people call me "work hard and overcome your vulnerability"... Do you know what you're talking about? If it were you, what would you try? Just shouting a slogan can restore everything, go to work tomorrow, fall in love and get married the day after tomorrow, are you thinking too simple?
Potter is very indifferent here. The girl was hurt so much, and she didn't know how many tears she shed and how many times she made up her mind to decide to be strong tomorrow, it's not that she didn't succeed. What kind of onion are you, you just want me to be "healed"? Are you sick? ? ?
Here I will think again, Potter, a young man with such a high IQ, shouldn't do such a stupid thing, especially, he still likes that girl, he doesn't want to hurt her heart at all, there is absolutely no need to do anything to help , thankless things. But he did, which only shows that he thought it was not hard. He thought that Nora hadn't made any effective attempts before getting to know him, and he would be the first, the mother the duckling saw when he broke the shell, and the prince who got the poisoned apple out of Snow White's throat.
Why Porter thinks "what's so hard about this, you can do it if you want to do it", I think, this is the poison of some popular ideas. The conscientious adage, "Where there is a will, is accomplished," is what poisoned Potter. It has poisoned me too, and it has poisoned a lot of people I know, and it has poisoned my father, mother, my ex-husband, and many of my friends. They all said to me, "Because you're lazy, because you're weak, you're not working hard enough, so you're not good enough." And that's how Potter felt about his dad. It was Potter's disrespectful attitude towards his father's illness, which made him more able to blame his father for having such a gene, and to blame his father for becoming such a weirdo and ruining the atmosphere in the family.
I think this way because I'm trying to give an innocent reason to the "well-meaning people" who are hurting people with depression. They don't want to hurt us either. They just haven't experienced it themselves, and they've been deceived by the lies that they are willing to give everything to "benefit mankind and go down in history". I'm going to whitewash them like this, just hoping I can feel better.
Girl, girl Nora, is actually a very normal and reasonable person. It is reasonable to choose to avoid talking about your own psychological shadow. It's also reasonable to hate him if he gets bullied by his classmates. If you say hurtful things, you will feel sorry, even if it is to the person who cheated on her, this is very reasonable, it shows that she is a kind person, and she does not hate each other very much. But at the end, at the risk of offending her mother and being caught by the police (in order of terrifying degree), she presented a big picture to the person who cheated on her (who knows where she secretly painted it?), and then she Can you face the shadows so smoothly? ? ? And tell everyone at graduation? ? ? (so what???? what's the point of this???? I don't understand????)
I don't even know what happened to Potter. Things were going well with Nora. But the university was rejected, and he didn't explain what he would do at that time. With the history of being a gunman, he couldn't go anywhere. Then somehow, he forgave all the things that Smelly Baba brought him that he didn't want to face, and hugged Baba, and the whole play ended. In order to appease myself, I can only understand this:
Nora is the kind of simple person. There is no father in the family, and the mother's discipline is very strict. She is not allowed to paint by herself, and wants her to be a scholar. My brother, who is about the same age, has always loved himself, but because of the pressure from his mother, the lack of a father, and all kinds of psychological problems, he chose to take drugs, maybe only once, but he was definitely a novice. Die, and shame on her self-confessed mother. In front of the angry mother, she could not even express her grief, but could only suppress the pain in her heart. At a time like this, she knew that there was a dick boy in school who could be a gunman. Anyway, she didn't lack money, so she decided to do a bad thing, a dishonest thing, and spend five hundred yuan for someone to write to herself. manuscript. Then she didn't expect that the young man's heart was bright, as if he was aware of himself. It was the first time she met such a person. And he likes himself very much, so she likes this person too. (Tragedy = =) But I didn't expect the boy to be poisoned by elite education, forcing her to be a healthy and beautiful girl without psychological shadows, tearing her wound open with backhand, and putting her in the game by the way, and then the next For a month, her mother's face was stretched as long as the door panel, which made her life very sad. She hated that man to death. However, she also watched the TV interview and learned that the boy's family has gone through a lot, and his heart may be more sad than himself. He wants her to face the past, but she also has to help him cheer up (I want to write not going down orz). Anyway , there will be the following plot...
As for Potter, Potter, anyway, I have gained the understanding and support of the beautiful girl, I think, as a high school boy, that may be what you need. With the beautiful girl as his company, his future is uncertain, and his father lost his job and broke his hand, which is not a problem ( ?=_=).
