After reading it several times, from the admiration for my father's extreme romanticism, I finally found that "reality" is what I want to say.
In the whole film, all the characters except the son, including the audience, admire the father very much, but the son has become the regretful person who does not understand the style. But since it is a family movie, then the characters are divided into relatives and non-relatives to be understood separately.
In the film, the son and mother are close relatives, and the others—represented by the daughter-in-law—including the audience—are outsiders.
The mother knew the truth of the story and he loved the father. A daughter-in-law loves her father and does not need the truth of the story.
Only the son, as a close relative, needs the truth, but does not know the truth.
In the process of his growing up, his father was just a man who told unreliable stories and was a big talker, but he did not know the source of all these stories, and it was the guilt of his father for not being there when his son was born. He longed for a truth from his father. Those stories of his father were barriers in front of him to understand his father. He asked his father Who you are. The father only told those stories, that is, Who he is. Instead, he accused his son of not understanding him.
In the end, the son's transformation was not moved by his father's romanticism. It was through Jenny's mouth that he learned the truth he had always wanted, and that his father's love for him and the family made him truly understand his father, and the stories told by his father, and helped his father complete it. the end of the story. It was the unvarnished truth in Jenny's mouth that gave meaning to everything his father did, the 1 in front of countless 0s.
At the end of the story, the son used his father's method to send his father the last ride. The father was consummated, but in fact he was still him. He didn't know the happy ending. The decisive link was what the son kept exploring and he refused to say. the unpretentious truth. In this story, the son is the hero.
So in this extremely romantic story, it is reality that plays the hero.
I hope that in the life of the person, do not make the mistake of not eating the fireworks on the relatives.
