A self-righteous movie

I don’t like parents to add their own outlook on life to their children. Cynical and disappointed with the times, he took his children to live in the mountains and forests. The children taught have read many books, talked about philosophy and Buddhism, but did not have the slightest feeling of children, and they knew almost nothing about fashion and entertainment. I don’t know whether this kind of education in the movie is right or wrong, but I think that after realizing the problems of the times, what we should do is not to escape from the mountains and forests, but to teach children how to survive in this era without being affected by them. assimilation.

On the one hand, the film expresses the disgust of this era, on the other hand, it uses the standard of measuring excellence in this era to show the excellence of the male protagonist and the children. This kind of self-righteousness that is clearly trapped in the era but considers itself higher than the era makes people feel uncomfortable. . The task of saving food is even more inexplicable. The whole movie gives people a feeling that Lao Tzu is number one in the world.

If you don't like this world, you can live in seclusion, but please don't advertise your escape as disdain to converge with this world. After all, there are not a few people who are out of the silt but remain untainted.

    Bo: [talking rapidly] I know what you think. But I know that your daughter has taught me many things just now. She has broadened my mind, she has helped me grow. When we just kissed for the first time just then, it... The endorphins that your daughter sent through my body were like dolphins swimming through my bloodstream. The way she has opened me up, she has penetrated deep inside of me, and I know that I have penetrated deep, deep inside of your daughter. And... but not-not like that. I would love to when... When it's necessary for... I, I want kids someday. Not right now, of course.

    Bo: [turning to speechless Claire] But when you're ready, when I'm ready, because I think this should be a shared decision. This is a decision that we should make together. But when you are ready, I will be ready. I am ready for you, if you will have me... Claire... What's your last name?
