Generally, family movies always carry a little preaching meaning, about the meaning of life, about the way of treating relatives, and the things that “should” and “can” be done are presented to the audience in various touching or inspirational ways. Which movie "Ordinary Man and Vulgar Son" has nurtured enormous power in the ordinary, it is just an ordinary world, not to mention the sorrow of so many stormy seas and the bizarre twists and turns.
The film begins in the wonderful Canon. The splendid maple leaves and the tranquil landscape are exactly what many people are looking for. The years are like passing years, but a boy is awakened with sweat in the nightmare in this harmonious landscape. This is an ordinary family. Parents and children cannot communicate. The ordinaryness of children and the interpersonal glamour established by their parents for decades can easily make people feel familiar. The boy who had a sudden adolescence and rebellion lost the confidence and ability to trust in life. He completely blamed himself for the death of his brother and the disharmony of the family. The loneliness and self-blame alone made him easy to get angry. For this reason, he alienated the people who cared for him, and the only person who helped him was his psychiatrist. And all this finally ended when his old patient committed suicide. The boy vented fiercely and decided to start his life again, letting go of himself and letting go of depression. But his father found sadly that he could not continue to approach his indifferent and selfish wife. After his wife ran away from home, the father and son hugged each other tightly.
The death of the boy's brother became a disrupted picture that appeared in the boy's memory from time to time. It was a nightmare and a malignant tumor. We knew he could let go of this burden sooner or later, but we didn't expect that this was not a happy ending. The mother's indifference to her son and even the family is obvious. What she longs for is to show complete happiness to outsiders. It can be said that she is happily living in the eyes of others under the premise of harshly criticizing her family. Once this balance is broken, she will completely If you lose your sense of existence, you can only use the naive method of running away from home, and you don’t even want to spend your energy to solve it and you don’t want to expose your vulnerability in front of your family. So her husband could no longer love her, she brought the mask of life to the house.
Behind every happy smiling face in the film is the pain of indifference and inability to communicate deeply. Friends and friends, family and family, this kind of sadness across ages is just like a boy discovering that a normal and happy patient would choose to commit suicide. People are shocked, everyone is suffering from tremendous pressure and pain that others can’t understand, everyone.
