Humanity, emotional film displayed in a suspenseful way

Just watched this movie, it was really good. The feeling of watching the whole film is a sense of depression from beginning to end, and the anxiety of eager to know whether it is an illusion or reality. What the film ultimately reveals is a father’s love for his children, a husband’s sense of responsibility to the family, and a wife’s understanding and support for her husband. Since the husband appeared in an abnormal state, the wife has been unbelievably constantly running in with her husband from the beginning, trying to understand and trust. The husband finally broke out at the gathering, the wife's reaction after the physical conflict with others, and the behavior of the family entering the refuge when the first storm came, all were the wife's support for her husband. Similarly, the husband withstood the tremendous psychological pressure and opened the iron door of the refuge to go out, also trusting his wife. The precursor of the tornado ending, whether it is real or illusion, is not important. They already have the best refuge, which is mutual trust. I think this is what this movie wants to express
