"Relocation for the Son"
●Director: Sam Mendes
●Starring: John Krasinski
Sam Mendes made a light comedy that made some viewers happy. The husband and wife in the film are in a tacit understanding with each other. The communication is unobstructed, and there are many touching atypical dialogues.
Sam Mendes (Sam Mendes) made light comedy to make some audiences feel happy-without the heavy depression of the previous two works, just talk about the situation and reason. The pattern is not big, and the theme of the search is not new, so use the strange characters and the status quo to make the play. The older couples in the film have to welcome the newborn. The trouble is not that they are inexperienced, but that they live in the countryside. They want to find a good place to take care of their children and facilitate their future growth. Before the child was born, the two of them asked relatives to visit friends, contacted many places, and embarked on a long journey to find a happy hometown.
From the beginning of the bed scene, "Away We Go" (Away We Go) planted the seeds of humor. Husband is humorous, omnipotent, from squeaky tone to flirting. He can always think of various ways to make his wife happy, and he will also take necessary actions to counterattack the best ones he meets. The wife who plays the wife is not a traditional American actor, but the couple is indeed a good match, and fits well with their "free identity". It may be because of the current state of rootlessness and the realization that life must be different if they have children in the future, so that they seriously consider the future, that is, how to build a real home.
Phoenix, Arizona, Wisconsin, Montreal, Miami... The couple changed places one after another, looking like a honeymoon, but the delivery date is getting closer and anxious. An old colleague with crude words, an unhappy sister, and a maverick and almost perverted professor and couple have caused the protagonist to suffer several times. Looking back at the appearances of these weird supporting roles, the film puts children in an important position without exception, highlighting their relationship with their parents, and the influence of their parents' words and deeds. It also shows how a healthy or bad family will affect the growth of children. Because of this, the protagonist has also experienced a lot of psychological fluctuations, and they will feel that they can't bear the heavy responsibility in the future. Fortunately, in Montreal, they felt the meaning of love and the joy of family. As long as two people can make basic preparations, children can grow up healthy and happy no matter where they are.
In fact, the relationship between the couple is good to a certain extent. They lack a formal marriage, but they have a tacit understanding of each other, and communication is not hindered. There are a lot of touching atypical dialogue in the film. He will say that I will always love you, even if you (due to pregnancy) are so fat that I can't find my vagina; she will say that I will not agree to marry, but I will never leave you.
Such a two-person world does not require any loyalty test, nor is it attacked by a mid-life crisis, only plainness is true. But even so, they still need a home, after all, once they have children, it is no longer a matter of two people. In the circular arrangement of the film, they went round and round or returned to the right place — no surprises, but please don’t be discouraged. Of course it won’t be the home at the beginning.
