Looking at the impressionistic David’s posthumous paintings and the orderly staggered wires between the telephone poles, Robert De Niro’s father was obviously emotionally upset, but his appearance was strong and calm; I burst into tears for the second time. , Sadness can't be self-sustaining.
Every wrinkle like this crawls all over his forehead, his body is bloated, and his actions begin to be inconvenient, his words start to be verbose, and he will eventually be replaced by a mother-in-law. Why are we so in love? What you have exchanged your best years for must not be our ordinary or even mediocre. What can we children who can’t hand over a good answer sheet take to appease your vicissitudes of proliferation like thick ink?
From a thin, handsome and gentle taxi driver to such a gentle and talkative old man, years have never treated the gold medal actor very much. Seeing the kindness of the old man on his face always makes me special "hero". The sentimentalness of "late twilight", but compared to those wretched uncles who are obsessed with pretending to be tender, bright and clean, but who think they are eternal youth, I like it more naturally. Years are merciless, and old age has not hurt De Niro's beauty. He is really appropriate to play this worried dad.
The plot is very simple. An elderly widower who has lost his wife expects the children from all over the country to return home, but he has received infinite disappointment. The old father can't hold back, dragging his sick body on the road, and finally discovers the happiness and success the children have been reporting. It's just an illusion. After a series of frustrations and heart-breaking feelings of losing the beloved son, the family let go of their previous suspicions and finally have a peaceful Christmas party. The old beauties filming such tender family movies are experienced, sensational but not sentimental, warm but not preaching, and sentimental but also point to the end, there is still the power of tear gas in peace. I like it very much. I have never resisted this kind of film. I follow the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the people in the play, crying ugly and willingly.
In the play, my dad’s feelings for his son David made me even more sad. As a wire worker, he has high hopes for the children, and David's drawing talent has convinced him that his favorite young son must be very promising. The difference between painter and artist can only be understood by him. The children grew up one after another. The daughter of a successful career didn’t have a happy marriage. The dancer’s daughter was gay. The son who had always thought that the band conductor was just a drummer, and his painter’s youngest son died early because of an overdose of drugs. .
If it is not a strong enough and loving father, it is really not enough to resist his children's hard blows as imagined by a happy life. The death of the youngest son will be like the end of the world, and it will be thick. Unable to despair. Fortunately, the electric wire worker father is generous enough to review whether his high expectations for his children are also demanding in disguise. He is willing to reflect and accept the good and bad things of his children, and a new life begins. The premature departure of the youngest son is already a gap that can no longer be filled.
Real life is so cruel, right? I have a very cute cousin who is very much loved by the cousins and his wife. He suddenly became ill when he was in his teens and could never be rescued again. I was worried that my cousin would collapse. A few years later, I came across my cousin holding a very young child on the street and felt relieved. The deceased are long gone, and those who are alive have to choose to be strong. Dad De Niro is just like thousands of injured and strong dads, even if he has an eternal gap in his heart, he can move forward with injuries.
I think of my dad again and again, he, like dad De Niro, dedicated his life to our children. I once asked him half-jokingly and half-seriously, would he have any regrets for his life? Do you feel dissatisfied?
The answer is exactly the same as De Niro's father. After the children have rolled into the world like little eggs, raising children is his most important job, and the success of children is his greatest happiness. As for himself, it doesn't matter that my father's glory is submerged under the hard work and monotony of the wire workers. It doesn't matter if the father's affection is squeezed out of the door by the mother's doting.
This is our father. The meaning of life is so simple and persistent, and happiness depends more on whether the person he cares about is now happy.
Sorrowful bursts. As an older woman who has been chased by mediocre work all the year round and has nothing to do and can't see a bright future, I am gradually getting older, and one day will be a rickety dad. What can I do to appease the vicissitudes of your life?
