I didn't want to write it at first, but the more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes, so I will share it with you as my thoughts.
Brother Ahao is the original sun and the star of the family, but he is also overwhelmed by the cram school. The difference is that he did not choose to sacrifice himself for anything, but it is a fait accompli that he changed the relationship between the characters in the family. The handling of the director and screenwriter makes the film sad but not sad. This is not the bright feeling brought by "sunshine", but the positive force brought by "darkness". Why? Because the sun has fallen. Of course, this is just a metaphor. Since the "sunshine is shining", it must shine on everyone. The people in the story are not illuminating each other. They just have different opinions on how to use the sunlight.
The most interesting part of the film is that the brothers are regarded as plants. Some like the shade and some like the sun. Of course, it is not ruled out that they have been in the sun for a long time. They have sunburns to different degrees, so they want to escape the heat. Here, it can be understood as brother Ahao. , he is tired. But the biggest problem is that there are wrong expectations for two kinds of people, which has nothing to do with their talents, it is about their nature.
The younger brother is actually a person who has no responsibility, that is because he has not learned the lesson of responsibility in this family relationship and is suppressed. But when the responsibility is unavoidable, such as after learning that Xiaoyu is pregnant, the courage of the little man can be seen in him. However, it can also be understood as the disposition of submissiveness, which is a small person. And my brother, as a "big man" who was made into a character, just wanted to find a place to hide. It was Caitou that really grew in the shade, but he misunderstood that Ah He wanted him to remove the shade that blocked Ah He's sunlight, so he saw the light. He didn't expect that Ah He didn't shade himself, so Caitou was wilted and hated in his heart. Although he was very righteous, he mistakenly thought that Ah He was of the same kind, so he pulled Ah He into the water in the way of shade-loving plants. It's a pity that Ah He actually likes the sun, so he can't stand Ah He's stomping behavior, because their use of sunlight is not uniform.
As for the father role, that is what ultimately prompted me to write this article. He took a different approach to the use of sunlight. In order to let more sunlight shine on his elder brother, he cut down his younger brother's plants like a lumberjack, and added firewood to his younger son's prison. Ruthless? This is also fortunate that the younger brother only has the possibility of rain and dew, so he will let him cool down. Immediately after the father lost his eldest son, he began to think about the pain. Has he grown up? No, his mind set is more thorough. In order to let the sun shine on his younger brother, the only remaining fruit, his father chopped off the head of the vegetable that he thought was blocking the sunshine of his younger brother like a lumberjack, but it was actually smashed in the end. The "Sima Guang smashing the cylinder" is consistent, not only in appearance, but also in connotation.
When it comes to the story of Sima Guang, brother Ahao has a different understanding. He thinks that Sima Guang can only release himself by breaking the tank. In my opinion, he broke Schrödinger's tank, just to confirm his own nature. The father's actions have similar intentions. On the surface, it is for Ah He to survive without coercion, but in essence, the father wants to correct himself through this excessive behavior, fulfill the obligations of "father" and reconcile with himself, but he Going to sacrifice a dish. The film attempts to use the influence of the wrong behavior to correct the impossible direction in the wrong time, with the intention of finally getting a relatively "good" ending. Wrong behavior starts from the older brother, ends with the father, and even in Xiaoyu's adoptive mother and Caitou, the screenwriter's intentions also apply. Is this possible? It seems that this is the most fascinating part of the film.
Brother Ahao's choice is ambiguous. This decisive "accident" turned the exterior and connotation upside down, just as Sima Guang broke the jar and revealed the light or darkness in the jar, but more importantly, it artificially stirred the joy. The location of shade plants and sun-loving plants is achieved by loggers, or tank smashers. Since the elder brother smashed himself, this change restarted the relationship between the characters, so that the younger brother could not be in the shadow of the elder brother, and even had the opportunity to talk to the world as a father. He is also a father, and Awen seems to be affected by this identity. Summoning, it is enough to have only one boy as you wish, but unfortunately it is Ah He and not Ah Hao, but he has to put down the pity and pick it up and cherish it. At the same time, by giving back the sunlight to others, my brother can hide himself from the world forever and be a dead shade-loving plant with peace of mind.
The so-called "sunshine", such a person in a vat, is to be broken in exchange for something, this is my biggest impression after watching this film.
