After watching the movie and listening to Bomi's show, I will feel the irony of the father's image and the incurable emptiness of the family and the world, but when I read it for the second time, I always wanted to find evidence in the image. Sure enough, I found it.
A Sun is the title, a pun intended, the sun, as an eternal justice, quietly overlooks all living beings. Both sons also mentioned fairness. The second son upholds the fairness of the world, and only fights back when he is bullied in prison. The inmates told him to put it back on the spot if he took too much food. The eldest son maintains universal justice and is good to everyone, but he has no heart, so Ah Hao agrees with the value of the sun, because the sun also has no heart, only light, and a part of it.
The viewpoint shot of the sun appears when the father throws Heilunbo on the mountain.
The shot quickly changed from a bird's-eye view to a much larger one, and the sun suddenly popped out of its head.
The sun quietly looked at the people, people and buildings and even mountains and rivers were so small. The strife among men is nothing to the sun.
He didn't blame his father who threw people on the mountain, nor Hei Lunbo. After all, in this cemetery, even the dead people in the ground didn't matter to him.
But the sun, it still made a value judgment on this family and this story.
The first candid footage of the sun comes before the eldest son commits suicide, dark clouds obscuring the sun.
Whether it is unbearable, or the family begins to appear shadows, in any case, the sun is expressing its position.
Then Ahao took a bath, brushed his teeth, folded his clothes, and committed suicide by jumping off a building.
The second time, the straightforward portrayal of the sun appeared before the rainy night murder case. Not the father's narrative, but the real timeline. Caitou got out of the car to smoke, and then dark clouds covered the sun.
I think on the first level, the sun is here to make a statement for the younger son. Seeing that the stable life on the right track was broken by the successive underworld incidents, the next scene with thick dark clouds was that the younger son sent drugs to the underworld.
But if you know the real story line, in fact, at this time, two things happened at the same time, one is that the youngest son fell into a quagmire, and the other is that Caitou lost his life. In this comparison, the youngest son was the one who was exposed to the light, and Caitou died in the rain like this. In this way, the sun is expressing his position for Caitou at this moment, and Caitou's life has fallen into darkness and can never be freed.
It can even be said that the sun values Caitou's life as much as Ahao. The only two dark clouds covered the sun, one gave Ahao's death, and the other gave Caitou's death.
Compared with the fair sun that treats all things, the father's role is much colder. Ahao is his pride and the only child he is willing to admit. Caitou is worse than dust, for his own inferior child, but a child of someone else who had to get rid of the only remaining child.
One more thing worth mentioning. As a main character, Caitou doesn't even have a name. The judges called him Caitou directly. When Xiaoyu got married, we also knew that her name was Wang Mingyu, but Caitou didn't even have a name. Therefore, Caitou is really a highly symbolic person, a person whose whole body is hidden in the shadows, except for a single person, with discolored hair, he has nothing.
An honor student in a sunny white shirt, and a street gangster who doesn't even have a name, the Sun responds with the same pity. So we know that the sun is really fair and fair to the whole world. The father is really not good, not for anyone.
Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs. Absolutely fair attitude, with a little warmth that seems to be absent.
