I don't know what it feels like after watching

A family of weird people met some even weird people, such as the dancer and the two who evolved into Xing Jinggang. . . Such a bunch of nervous people make up the movie "The Taste of Tea".
The story is very plain, simply telling everyone's experience, like a line drawing. Although they are all nervous people, everyone is also cute. The little girl who insists on practicing the back-horizontal bar, the little boy who likes the newly transferred girl, the old-fashioned grandfather, especially the little boy who shit on the head of a big egg, really makes people laugh.
This family seems to be not very good at expressing their emotions in words. Often times everyone is immersed in their own small world thinking about, or using some weird behaviors to vent their emotions, a little bit. Of depression. Although there are not many words, everyone has a rich inner world and emotions. The director uses a little fantasy fairy tale to express it, which is quite cute.
But what made me mad the most about this movie is that in the two and a half hours, I have never figured out what the director wants to express. I can’t see the “central idea” at all, and I can’t see that it runs through all the little things. Where is the "red line" of the story. When I watched it, I always thought: fast, fast, the director will uncover the mystery immediately, and as an audience, I will immediately realize it. But I waited and waited and waited and waited, and when it was over, there was no feeling of sudden realization. It feels like being thrown in the air, the upper part is too high, it can't go down, and it's like something stuck in the throat, can't swallow, can't spit it out, it's quite uncomfortable.
But maybe this is the effect the movie wants. I have been considering the title of the movie "The Taste of Tea". Tea is inherently faint, so you need to taste it slowly and taste it slowly. So movies can't be like strong alcohol, making people drunk, drunk, awake, and over. Well, let me take some time to taste it.
