The English name of the film "A Sun", can't help but think of the "one son" of his father, Awen, who runs through the whole film.
Father Awen - driving school coach, mother make-up artist, eldest son Ahao has good grades and good looks. He is a good boy that everyone likes, and the only son that his father recognized in his heart before that. The younger son Ah He was rebellious and caused trouble outside. In order to help him "scare" the friend who bullied Ah He, his friend Caitou chopped off the opponent's hand with a machete. Ah He and Caitou were respectively admitted to the juvenile detention center, one for a year and a half and the other for four and a half years.
In the first half, father Awen only admitted that he had one son, the eldest son Ahao, but Ahao committed suicide silently and without reason one night. Maybe no one knew why Ah Hao committed suicide in the end, and the message he left to his female classmates when he finally left may explain his thoughts/
"The most fair thing in this world is the sun. No matter the latitude, every place has half the time of day and half of the year. We went to the zoo a few days ago. The sun was very strong that day, and all the animals were exposed to Can't stand it, they all try to find a shadow to hide, I have a vague feeling that I can't tell, and I wish I had some shadows to hide like these animals, but I looked around and it wasn't just these animals that had shadows I can hide, including you, my brother, and even Sima Guang, I have no water tank, no dark place, only sunshine, 24 hours a day, bright and warm, and the sun is shining.”
There is no rich and warm family environment in itself. Brother Ah He is like the dark side of the family. The kind Ah Hao has to bear the sun that exists in this family 24H. He did not get into medical school the first time, and will continue to rely on the second time. He will take the initiative to take his younger brother's girlfriend Xiaoyu to the hospital for an obstetric examination, which is the sun in his mother's eyes. He took Xiaoyu to visit his younger brother Ah He, because Xiaoyu wanted to see him very much. He is the sun of the people around him, but people are born with a dark side. He has to cover up all the dark sides and become the sun for everyone, because he is too kind.
I remember one time when Ah Hao was called by the teacher in class and did not listen to the lecture, the female classmate asked him if he was still angry with the teacher. I think this may be one of the reasons why Ah Hao texted his female classmates before he died. There was a time when he felt that the female classmates did not regard him as the 24-hour sunny sun. It is a pity that in the end the female classmate did not really understand him and entered his heart. Existing only in the sun, he had to become the Sima Guang who was hiding in the dark water tank forever.
After Ahao's death, his father Awen had to have only "one son", and that was Ahe. After Ah He came out, he tried to make up for the wrongs he had done to his girlfriend and family with redoubled efforts, and he was also trying to reconcile with this father who had been strangers for many years.
Caitou is a gangster with a very bad family of origin. He has a low education level, and is impulsive and self-motivated. In order to exhale his friend Ah He, he directly chopped the opponent's hand with a knife and entered for more than four years. After he came out, he also said that he never regretted doing that for Ah He. This is how people like him live and deal with things. Such people are undoubtedly scary and pitiful.
After Caitou went in, Ah He's father did not contribute to the huge compensation to help his family. Caitou's house was confiscated, and his grandmother was forced to live in a nursing home. After he came out, Caitou couldn't understand. He entered because of Ah He, but the Ah He family only regarded him as a big trouble. In fact, it can be seen that Caitou really regards Ah He as a friend, and he is also very envious of Ah He. After being released from prison, he can live in the sunshine and live a normal life. the deeper. In his opinion, being loyal means that he can cut a knife for his good friend. He also wants his friend to repay him with the same depravity. If Ah He degenerates with him, he doesn't need Ah He to take money, they are good brothers.
Caitou is eager to return to a normal life and a life under the sun, but he really can't do it. This is the sadness given to him by his family and growth. Until the end, when he forced Ah He to do bad things, he didn't smoke in the car, because it was not good for his good friend Ah He, which was good, and finally let him get out of the car when he was smoking. and his father was killed.
Ahao, Awen, Caitou, three teenagers. Ah Hao is forced to be the 24-hour sunny sun, Caitou is forced to exist only in the shadows, he actually yearns, but he has no way. And Awen is undoubtedly the lucky one. He had a shadow, but he also came out. He started a normal life and reconciled with his father. In the end, Caitou also disappeared, and he walked into the sun.
The sun is fairest, and so is time. People who are always in the sun or in the shadows have a hard time living. They are either swallowed up by life or swallowed up by their own shadows. In fact, life is like Ah He, there are shadows and sunshine, so it is more like the normal state of life.
