A family living at the bottom of society is unusual. They are a Korean immigrant family living in the United States and have their own "dream". The husband is pinning his future dreams on the wasteland, and the family is forced to live in a house converted from a truck. The rain made his wife's heart break out. This crumbling "house" seems to also symbolize a period of "displacement" in their later life experiences.
I appreciate my wife's acting skills. Before the explosion, I had tears in my eyes, which made me feel puzzled, aggrieved, and helpless. At the end of ten years of work, it seems that there is still nothing, and the desire and dream to change the status quo has made her husband "desperate." As the mother's daughter, seeing the children's grandmother, she finally let go of her strength and cried and told her suffering. Grandma's humor and optimism warmed the family atmosphere.
The setbacks and burdens of life, such as plant drought, cancellation of orders, grandmother's stroke, etc., all weigh on the precarious family. The healthy "recovery" of the youngest son and the orders from the supermarket did not stop his wife's desire to leave. My grandmother's self-blaming eyes after accidentally setting fire to the grass are heart-wrenching. Through these hardships, the company of relatives is the most precious.
Jacob's desperate bet on the farm reflects human nature's weakness and vulnerability to change like a prism. Those kinds of female grandparents and grandchildren have the same unease and are delicate and sensitive, moisturizing things in silence. Yin Ruzhen's perfection, Steven Yuan's impartiality completes this film, and Han Yili's expressionless face makes everything beautiful and moving. " People's efforts to change their hearts and dreams will never be defeated, and tomorrow is still full of an unknown, yet hopeful day.
