At the end of the film, Pell walks alone to the beach, looking for an ideal life and future. The ending scene can't help but remind people of the scene of Antoine running to the beach at the end of "Four Hundred Blows", but Antoine has no concern for life and the future. Imagination and longing, but Pell has a clear outline, go to the United States, go to a distant place, go to a place of freedom, go to a place without landlords and oppression, the future of this boy with moving ears is unknown, only blessings.

Facing his son Pell being bullied by a farm boy, the father firmly expressed in front of his son that he would teach and punish those who bullied him, but when the father really faced the child labor who managed himself, he It was just a sentence that took away his dissatisfaction, and then he accepted the mission order given by the other party in a humble manner. All this made the son who was watching on the side cry disappointed and the father broke his promise. Such a compromise was only due to the father's old age and the pressure of survival, the father's image began to shake, and the appearance of the long-term worker Eric really gave Pell Hope and strength. Eric's "free and loose" work attitude made him a thorn in the eyes of the farm steward, which made them often confront each other, but it also reflected the "union spirit". How can it be possible to gather the power to speak out for the people of the exploited class? Ironically, however, under the leadership of Eric, the laborers held iron forks to attack the butler who was squeezing them. As a result, Eric, who was in the lead, was accidentally knocked out by a stone, and the angry crowd behind them lost their minds. After becoming the leader, he also lost the energy and intention to resist, and continued to become a docile sheep. However, Eric, who became mentally insane due to head trauma, received every kind of care and closeness from the housekeeper. The exploiters and the resisters reached a reconciliation, only because the resisters no longer resisted... Despite this, Eric had a problem with Pei. Pell's influence is huge. The United States, China, Australia, traveling around the world, freedom, and resistance, these wonderful enlightenment spirits have drawn a picture of the future for Pell.

In the face of Pell's insistence to leave, the father gave up the opportunity to walk with his son. He was about to die and would only become a burden for his son. He also lost the desire and passion for a new start. After being squeezed for a lifetime, he could finally see his son change. And the courage and determination to create is already gratifying. The father chose to stay in this filthy stable for the rest of his life, and the son went to the seaside to go to the places mentioned. This is a picture of death and new life, both sad and hopeful. While the film depicts the suffering and living conditions of fathers, sons and other workers, it also spends a lot of time on the farmer's family. For example, the chaotic and debauched sex life of the farm owner and the anger and distress of the hostess, such as the unacceptable love between the farmer's son and the working young woman, etc. The exploitation and suffering at the bottom and the chaos and hypocrisy at the top are all displayed one by one in such a farm estate.

    The 41st Palme d'Or winning film, the film is very neat, the image style is more classical, the atmosphere is calm and full of movement. Through a pair of father and son who fled to Denmark, alluding to the inequality and oppression in the entire civilized world, the suffering of being under the fence makes the statue of Jesus seem powerless. It is so sad to leave his father at the end, and from here a desperate Pell, looking for a place free from class oppression, turned and walked towards the sea.

    How a father and son make a living in a class-defined society. The father almost lost his dignity and had to take care of each other's future. Even though my father finally said something cruel like "I can't walk anymore, go alone", we all knew he was exhausted. It wasn't his fault, Pelle was growing up in a short period of time, and even though he was deformed, he was educated. Most of us in the real world are not conquerors, but conquered.

    Pelle: Father?

    Lassefar: Everything's gonna be fine.

    Pelle: Say it again.

    Lassefar: This new country we're going to is very different.

    Pelle: Tell me more about it.

    Lassefar: They put raisins in the pork roast and butter on the bread. They put a lot of butter on the bread. Brandy is as cheap as water and it is so strong that it knocks you off. But your father can take it, Pelle, because he's strong.

    Pelle: And children are free all day.

    Lassefar: Yes, Pelle, yes.
