The long foreshadowing and details in the front are all the shadow of Ang Lee. From the key party, it entered a climax, and it was even more depressing. In the end, Ben was in the car with the family, leaning on the steering wheel and crying, so sad and wanting to be scolded by others, and thinking about it again, who is not? The BGM composed of the whimpering Chinese wind flute is very suitable for the atmosphere of the movie, and it makes people feel even more heavy and breathless. It is more than a revelation of the modern family. Human nature, gender, adults and minors, parents and children, families... There are too many. There is a little more fear about "starting a family and starting a business", but I understand the truth of letting nature take its course. I don't know the background of this film, that is, the United States in the 1970s, and I only understand it after reading other people's film reviews. Then I remembered the sentence "Spicy Hands", just like this sentence, Ang Lee has always been spicy, but he always uses the restraint of a bystander to make movies, which is a bit like "Iceberg Theory", It's also a bit like the feeling I felt when I watched "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" yesterday, indescribable, I don't know what to say.

    In Ang Lee's "Thunderstorm", the truth about family and even civilization was re-examined that night. Two families, four adults, four children, four groups of intricate marriage and love relationships, and behind this is the entire era and even the entire human race.

    Looking at it coldly, step by step towards the way of no return, no one called to stop, no one knew where the way back was. Those remaining warmth look particularly bleak in this midwinter. These pains will accompany them throughout their lives.
