First of all, "monster" is the key word in this film, everyone has a monster in their hearts (Zen says: evil), Nietzsche once said: "If you fight with a dragon for a long time, you will become a dragon yourself; After a long time, the abyss will return to stare." The difference is that Huayi chose to face it and look at it (and avoided it at the beginning); but his adoptive father Shuotai chose to be it (began to conquer it), so he became a monster , criminals without conscience. Hua Yi's biological father is a believer (a symbol of pure goodness) and pays attention to redemption. The better his biological father, Li Hengze, the more tolerant he is. Shuotai's heart is also unbalanced and eventually demonized, so Shuotai hates him very much and wants to destroy him. Secondly, the plot is not rigid. In reality, it is more cruel than the movie. It is not uncommon to see violence, misbehavior, and exhaustion of various means in dealing with nail households. The last president who died was a developer who built a building. Because he was afraid that Hua Yi, who had been kidnapped, would come back, the pastor and his wife became a nail in the coffin and refused to leave. The president went to the killer (the five fathers) to kill him. The couple (Hua Yi's biological parents), the killer didn't kill the woman, and the boss's subordinates also killed it!
As for the relationship between the five fathers and Hua Yi, after raising them for more than ten years, they will definitely have feelings, and Hua Yi is a sensible and smart child (it can also be seen from the movie that some fathers like him very much, and some fathers are average , this is also very true) Although mother's love is a foil here, it is not inferior to father's love at all, and it is equally powerful. Whether it is knitting sweaters or at the end, beating the police and Shuotai for Huayi's sake is very real. A mother can do anything and sacrifice anything for her child.
The female student Woo-jung played by Nam Ji-hyun is just that kind of girl with a big smile and a bright and cheerful smile. Only when she appears can the haze in Huayi's heart be diluted and the whole film look warm. Who hasn't had a crush when they were young? In the end, the plot is very scripted. This is not a suspense drama, so the plot is very easy to guess. The bad or persistent person (the policeman) died, leaving only the pure people, this society is dirty Yes, it needs to be purified to leave purity (subjective guessing of the director's intention). The ending ends with the carefree smile of this cheerful and sunny girl, which can be regarded as trying to bring out a trace of brightness in the sadness.
