"The Shower" is very realistic about relationships that include, but are not limited to, the male characters of the family. Like many barrages say, in fact, most of the real father-son relationships are like this. It is interesting that almost no barrages mention the relationship between brothers.
The relationship between father and son has actually changed a lot over time, and the film focuses on the part after adult work. From the looks of it, you may be thinking, why is the relationship like this, and it was not like this when I was a child? That is because as we grow up, we have seen a richer world and gained richer insights. The father who once thought he was perfect and omnipotent actually has many shortcomings and even defects. As a son, there are probably some It's a sense of collapse... But this person is his own father, so it's difficult to break up the relationship, and the only way is to avoid and reduce the chance of contact. It's been a long time, and it's just like in the movie (it must be said, can't blame Daming, because we don't know what happened), there is a gap, and the words are very raw, "Daming" is simply some real life and The father has a typical image of estrangement. He really does not speak much, and his behavior is like he can't stretch out in front of strangers, showing a "polite" but inexplicable feeling of alienation.
The character of Daming has few lines, which I think is worthy of praise. Most people who have experienced the relationship between father and son should smile knowingly. Yes, it seems that there is nothing to say, but sometimes I have to find something to say. This embarrassment makes people feel at a loss. The same is true for Daming. Withdrawing these, it is very easy for many viewers with similar experience to substitute. Although the dialogue between Daming and his father in the film rarely sees a relaxed atmosphere, but in fact, both sides have each other in their hearts. Whether it is Daming's shower, his father silently releases hot water, or when it rains, the bathroom leaks and Daming helps his father repair it together. Silent attention. Some people may say, in this case, why did Daming come back after thinking that his father might die? My personal interpretation is that because of some issues, my father and Daming couldn't let go of contacting each other, so after a few years, suddenly I received a postcard that seemed to be my father's death. Daming must be very impatient. So I finally did not have to worry about face or something to go home.
The relationship between Erming and his father, in a sense, actually appeared more when he was a child (although he may have had some estrangement with his father when he was a child). This harmonious relationship looks very good, but the actual operation is indeed difficult. As mentioned earlier, as we get older, we see more negative attributes behind fathers, such as some "bad things", which make boys automatically feel alienated and persuade to educate the father whose face is more important than anything else? That's absolutely impossible, so it's best not to talk to each other and not disturb each other. The relationship between Erming and his father may also be seen as a reflection of the relationship between Daming and his father a long time ago, as well as a projection of the relationship between father and son in an ideal state.
One of the things that moved me in the film was the relationship between Daming and Erming. Although Erming may be mentally handicapped, Daming does not ridicule him, and has a heart for him. Regarding Erming's various behaviors, even if they are a little naive and paranoid, Daming in the film does not have any complaints. He is very tolerant and able to Be patient and enlighten, very warm. Daming will try on Erming's formal clothes, play with water happily with him, give him a big hug when his father collapses and cry after his death, and accompany him to run and sprint... Small details such as these are all flowing. A brother's love for his brother. Maybe Daming is not good at words, but actions speak louder than words. After the death of his father, even if he only temporarily put Erming in a nursing home, when he found that Erming did not like it at all, Daming would immediately pick up Erming. He told Er Ming that he would not abandon him after the meeting. Although Daming's wife may not be able to accept it, Daming promised that the two brothers will always be together. This is of course a responsibility that should be taken, but more blood Emotions thicker than water. This movie makes me cherish the similar brotherly relationship I have in my life even more. It is warm and irreplaceable.
