about family relations

I also wrote it in the short review, I feel that this film does not have the healing and warmth described by the label, but reflects a lot of very realistic, behind the sun, things we don't want to face. Write a little, deep and shallow, nonsense.

For Joy, escaping should be the easiest part. She can get a Shawshank redemption with Jack's help, but she'll never be able to say goodbye to the past as freely as Andy. The struggle for the seven years of memory, the difficult mental construction, the media interviews or the secondary injuries are all the shadows that she cannot escape from the room. As a woman, whether she is innocent or not, it is difficult not to face all kinds of slut humiliation in the public opinion. For most bystanders, their sympathy for these experiences is sympathy, whether they should be disgusted or will be disgusted.

Including the family's first reunion, grandma said to Jack thank you for saving our baby girl.

Jack was actually quite surprised, he didn't expect to hear such a thing. In the child's fantasy, the amiable grandfather and grandmother described by the mother, his relatives, will also hug him, give him a firm hug, and say that you are welcome back——

But no. All he got was such a polite thank you. In fact, it can be seen that people in the real world did not have time to digest the seven years he and his mother spent in the room.

In reality, most biological parents are of the same type. They love you, have high requirements for you, and are naturally critical of the older generation, accepting or not accepting your imperfections. They will forgive your mistakes, but not necessarily unconditionally.

As for stepparents, these uncles and aunts who participated in life halfway, probably have two emotional tendencies. One is the feeling that you are a thorn in your side, with disgust and dissatisfaction on your face, and you can’t wait to get rid of it; the other is that you really love you and endure hardships, because you have no blood relationship and don’t ask you to be a dragon and phoenix, they will always follow. Your will, not coercion and coercion. To put it bluntly, it's because you don't have to be too responsible for your future. As long as you recite a little bit of his goodness, in this relationship, everyone will seek kindness and benevolence.

Leo is undoubtedly the second type, he is gentle, patient, and gives Jack the most and the best kindness he can give. He's a really nice guy, no doubt about that. However, can it also be understood that because Joy is not his own, winning glory or shame has little impact on his own reputation. That's why he can let go of the past and tolerate and accept their mother and son so lightly. And Joy's father, perhaps because of the deep-rooted traditional thinking, or perhaps because of his father's identity, his acceptance is much lower. Many things that happen to others can be easily expressed as OK to understand, but it is often difficult to empathize when it happens to one's own family. Because of some connections, blood family members feel that we share weal and woe, and occasionally hurt people the most.

The question raised by the media in the film made Joy fall into deep self-blame. Is it the most correct choice to leave Jack? From whose point of view should we think about this question, sometimes it is difficult to have an answer whether it is for the good of the child or for ourselves. There is no way for anyone to say that they do not ask for anything in return, and they always ask for one in material or in spirit. Although there is a saying that "a tree has no heart to bear seeds, and I have no kindness to you", but few parents are really selfless enough to think that what I mean to you is only to bring you into this world, and I would like you to live Live your best life without thinking about me, you don't even need to know me - then how come there are so many poor people working so hard to bring their children with them. For children, it may be better to find a rich couple who like children and receive the best resources and education.

It is true that parents are unconditionally good to us, but this foundation must be a way that is good for everyone. Most parents raising children, whether they want to admit it or not, are essentially an investment, including Joy. She invests in feelings and vitality. There is a child to rely on, the child is the hope of your life, and so on. Many times I don't ask for anything else, I just want to thank you and accompany me. It should be rare in the world to not even ask for affection. For example, a few pregnant women insist on keeping their children.

Don't tell anyone, can't let go, can't bear it. Joy has done a good job, leaving Jack is just her selfishness as an ordinary mother. She wants to be remembered, she wants to be thanked, she wants to be counted on, she wants to be loved.

But this is nothing to be questioned by the media. Human beings are like this. Many times we spend our entire lives in poverty, just to be good at being read by others.
