Honestly, this is the best movie about a father I've ever seen. Unlike other movies, this movie expresses a father's love for his son by telling a surprising fantasy story.
The beginning of the story made people feel strange. The father told many times on different occasions that he got the ring from the mouth of the big fish, but the son thought the story was completely nonsense. At the son's wedding, the father told it again, and the son was angry with the father. flipped. The son and the father did not speak a word for the next three years until it was revealed from the mother that the father was seriously ill and was about to die. The son tried to talk to his father, but his purpose was to find out what a real father was like, and whether his father's experience was as miraculous as he said, but unfortunately the father didn't tell the son, the son had to check the information , visiting others to learn about some details, but unfortunately the information he got further proved that what his father said was inseparable. It was not until his father's death that the son suddenly understood his father's intention, and he arranged a happy and fantastic ending for his father. At the end of the father's funeral, almost all the people in the father's story appeared, but they were not as exaggerated as the father said, and the son also understood his father's good intentions more.
Maybe many viewers, like me, found it to be a fantasy story halfway through, and also thought that what my father did was very unbelievable. Why did he tell his own life so magical? Why doesn't the father show his true side to his son? What is the purpose of doing this? In my opinion, when we were young, we always thought that our father was so great and worthy of worship, that he was regarded as an omnipotent god, and the father also hoped that the son would remember this, and he hoped that the son would remember him in the years to come, Remember his love for his son, even if he leaves. So the father in the film made up so many stories, why did the son want to break this beautiful story and find out? As He Caitou said, in this world, only the people you love need to distinguish the so-called true from false. There are so many things in life. The so-called truth may be the most boring and unacceptable. And those who paint the exterior of their lives with rainbow colors are worthy of respect and trust because of their love.
As for whether the father turned into a fish or not in the end, it is obviously irrelevant. The important thing is that the father lives in the heart of the son and is passed on from generation to generation through the son. The power of this father's love is unparalleled.
