what kind of family do you want

I saw that many people mentioned that there is something uncomfortable about this movie, that is, it overemphasizes the importance of family, and people who have no relatives and no descendants are discriminated against in another world, and even die again.

I also vaguely think of myself when I watch the movie, but I still think there is no need to exaggerate: Mexicans who value their families, such a similar image setting can also be seen in other American film and television works, such as "Prada Nada". Of course, it is not only Mexicans who have such a tradition of attaching importance to family. I am impressed by the films that describe the concept of family of different races, such as "Alex and Eve", which tells about the collision between the families of Muslims immigrating to Australia and the families of Swedes-their concept of life They are completely different, but they maintain their families in their own way. There is also the German film "The City of Longing", which tells the difference in the concept of the old and new generations of Turkish families after they settled in Germany-although the younger generation has integrated into German society, but their hometown The imprint is still there. In the book "A Brief History of American Race", it is mentioned that many ethnic groups who migrated to the United States maintained their tradition of family supremacy, such as Mexicans, Italians... It can be

seen that even if civilization develops to Today, even though dink, celibacy... is quite common among people immersed in the Internet, but in many parts of the world, the family is still the most important part of people's lives. Perhaps in some places with avant-garde concepts, family members interfere less with each other, but the ties of family love still connect these people and affect each other's lives.

This is good, and cutting the continuous blood relationship is one of the most reliable guarantees in our life. There's a downside to this, too, as you may be constrained by severing relationships on many things and make unwilling compromises.

In the movie, MiG finally made a compromise. He didn't sing in front of the camera in the stadium, he sang to his family. But he is still very happy. As his grandfather said, his songs were originally written for his beloved daughter, not for success.

This is also one of the problems we face in life. There is no correct answer to this question, because at different ages and under different circumstances, there may be different answers. For example, I am thinking so firmly now that if I can't start a family with someone I truly love, it's better to be alone. But maybe ten years from now, I will be envious of the couples around me who are stumbling and making do, and I think it would be nice to have someone quarrel with me.

I can only wish myself good luck all the time, it's too late to regret choosing the wrong one.
