father and son

I remember that there is such a description in the tomb robbery novel: due to the narrow robbery hole, only one person can enter and exit, and ancient tomb robbers required two people to be partners. One person went in and handed out treasures from the robbery hole, and the other person responded outside the hole. But in the beginning, this method always has problems, because people outside the cave tend to get the treasure and abandon the people in the cave, and the people in the cave hide the treasure because they don't trust the people outside the cave. In the end, the tomb raiding partners gradually became a pair of father and son, the father was outside the cave, the son was in the cave, and the father never abandoned the son in the cave. On the other hand, these two identities can never be interchanged, because this is human nature.

The father's love is like a mountain, and he is even more entangled and deep for his son. Looking at this little thing that has his own blood and looks more and more like himself, I feel love, relief and fear in my heart. I want to give him everything I have, but I am afraid that he will take everything from me. The growth of my son represents The aging of the father.

When he was a child, his son would take his father as a role model. In his eyes, his father would always be tall and invincible. On the way of growing up, I always wanted to be appreciated and recognized by my father. In my heart, I aimed to surpass and replace my father.

This Oedipus plot of falling in love and killing each other is so cut and chaotic.

The father and son in the movie have strong genetic genes, their stubborn temper, arrogant self-esteem, unyielding character, soul that hates evil, rigorous thinking mode, and the way of teasing their children (hiding a piece of honey jelly), all of which are Carved out of a mold, it is precisely because of this similarity that they are too fond of each other's views of themselves, and they have poured too much love into each other. Because of their son's rebelliousness and unintentional loss, the two have been resentful for decades, do not communicate with each other, and cannot forgive. If it weren't for the sudden death of their mother and the sudden murder lawsuit that followed, they would never communicate with each other for the rest of their lives.

The ending of the film is arranged when the father is on his deathbed, and the two reconcile. In fact, they just want to remind the audience off-screen that the son wants to be supported, but the relative does not wait, and the father and son must not have an overnight feud.

    I love Downey, but the acting really isn't enough here. In addition, the director did not master the rhythm well, and the middle section was too long. The heroine has two very good lines.

    The movie's mirroring and tone are warm, but the plot described is quite heavy. The pace of the movie for more than 2 hours is not slow at all. Little Robert Downey and Robert Duval play with each other is quite moving, different from the past warm family stories, a seemingly simple incident, after the layers are peeled off, it is so reluctant and sad. This is probably the least Tony Stark movie that Robert Downey has in the near future.
