After watching "The Son's Room" by Nanni Moretti, I once again felt a sense of gluttony. Using a realistic approach, the film mainly describes the life and psychological state of a psychiatrist who lost his beloved son, and his wife and daughter were hit by this sudden change. The film takes the son's accident as a dividing point. Before the accident, the psychiatrist's occupation and personality were shown. The most important thing is that this part of the director uses the usual simple narrative of Italian directors to convey a message to the audience: what a happy family this is: the son's theft at school, the family dispatched to cheer for the son's tennis match, in the car The whole family hummed a song together... Here's a detail: The son seems to have lost the game on purpose, to the dissatisfaction of the father. This seems to indicate that the son will break his father's heart again later in the film, and sure enough, his death has left his father heartbroken! After the son's accident, the film still conveys the feelings of the characters in a positive and bland way.
The son's death seemed unreasonable, if the father had not asked his son to keep running together a week before the accident, but had let them go diving that week; if he had refused the patient's request and had not gone to the patient's house but had been with his son Outings; if he wasn't a psychiatrist...maybe the tragedy wouldn't have happened.
However, in reality there is no if! All can only be hypothetical, the son can only live in the if, no matter how sad he can only bear. The father can cry, he can go to the playground where his son played to find his son, and he can go to the son's room to feel the breath of his son... But life has to go on, work has to go on, even with great sadness, we have to face to all psychiatric patients. The patient can tell himself about psychological problems, but to whom does the father tell his heartache at this time? Finally, after some listening, the father found his colleague, another psychiatrist, and wanted to express his psychological feelings. Only at this time could the audience hear the text version of the film expressing his father's psychology.
Then the mother found a love letter written to him by his ex-girlfriend in his son's room. After reading it, she not only opened his son's wardrobe, but also burst into tears while holding his son's clothes. There's a bit of a resemblance to the plot in Brokeback Mountain, and indeed, when it comes to remembrance of a deceased person, there's nothing closer to him than her clothes.
So the mother hoped to see the girl, and finally the girl came to the door, she was passing by, and she was with another boy. In the end, their family drove their son's ex-girlfriend and his companions to the French border, and watched the two of them hitch a ride, and the three of them walked slowly on the beach: it was as if their relatives were not dead, but with his girlfriend. travel to france...
