A middle-aged cowardly father, a strong and beautiful mother, a child who yearns for independence. Baseball coach, full-time housewife, excellent baseball player... When an accident strikes, the father loses his job, and the mother and child join the part-time job. In order to protect his injured self-esteem, his father became a temporary firefighter; his mother became a part-time swimming instructor; his child was a part-time apprentice in a video studio... Facing her husband's cowardice, his wife cheated on a car dealer; When he came back, he learned the truth about his wife's derailment from his son's mouth. The always cowardly husband broke out. He rushed to the gas station to get a petrol, and came to the car dealer's house and set fire to his house; the excellent and well-behaved children were also there. After the accident at home, he gave up the baseball career that his father planned for him, and chose the things he liked to take pictures one by one. Here, I slowly understood the meaning of "wild life": when life is out of control, make it more crazy and choose the life you want. At the end of the story, the mother is separated from the father, the mother has her own job in the distance, the father has become a car dealer, and the son has become a photographer who can take portraits. The last scene of the film is a The family portrait is over. The story begins with a happy and happy family, and ends with a family portrait, but we can feel that this family is different. At the beginning of the story, the protagonist of this family is the father, and at the end, the father, the child, My mother is the protagonist of my life. Wild life? Go to the wild to live! In my opinion, the revelation of this film to me is, don't limit ourselves to any situation, we belong to nature, belong to ourselves, not anyone's attachment.

    Unable to understand the other person's emotional outlet and unable to face the trauma in his own heart, he slowly fell apart. I think I'm wasted on you. The weight of this line is comparable to I wish I knew how to quit you in Brokeback Mountain. So sad to read it.

    The basics are almost impossible to even be annoying. The introduction of Tension in the first scene caught people off guard, but there was no such wonderful dialogue after that. Both portraits as parents and stories of growing up as children are a bit thin.
