At the beginning, there was a desire to watch it, but the more I watched it, the more ideal it became. Maybe the idea of ​​the theme is that the actualization of "a dozen" children is more exaggerated and eye-catching, but what about the actual operation? Let’s not talk about the mother’s physical impact and the family’s asset requirements. The responsibility of raising children is great. You must be responsible for the birth of a life. Not only do you need to "live", but you also need to educate and especially care about their growth, which requires unimaginable energy and even abandon your dreams. The chaotic scenes in the movie made me horrified. An episode might be about to crash, let alone multiplying by 12, but that's only the case, just showing it, it didn't solve it. Even one person's problem is not solved. They are all for the children to digest themselves: the biggest encounter is crowded out on campus, the youngest is always crowded out by family members, etc., and finally turned into a hug and healed. Is life really that easy?
